Addressing the pressing challenges of the contemporary healthcare system, this research introduces a pioneering Integrated HealthTech Network (BPHIN) that integrates IoT for real-time health monitoring and Blockchain for secure data management, aiming to revolutionize healthcare delivery and epidemic response. The current system's shortcomings, characterized by fragmented infrastructure and slow epidemic responses, are met with inefficiencies, with data breaches occurring at an alarming rate of over 25% and resource allocation lagging behind by approximately 30%. The BPHIN methodology promises to counter these issues by ensuring a seamless and secure flow of health data, enhancing system reliability by an estimated 99%. The findings underscore a considerable increase in user engagement, with BPHIN's gamification strategies boosting participation by up to 50%. This significant achievement is attributed to the meticulous real-time monitoring and data integrity assurance offered by the BPHIN model. Ultimately, the paper showcases how BPHIN could enhance healthcare delivery, elevate user satisfaction by 40%, and expedite epidemic response, marking a potential increase in overall system effectiveness by 40%.
