Telemedicine is a form of healthcare delivery that employs communication technology to provide medical care to patients remotely. The use of telemedicine has seen a significant increase in recent years, presenting challenges such as patient privacy, data security, the need for reliable communication technology, and the potential for misdiagnosis without a physical examination. Digital Watermarking can assist in addressing such issues by incorporating a unique identifier into an image that can be used to authenticate its validity. To tackle these issues, this study proposes a robust digital watermarking approach tailored to brain medical images, combining hashing, the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), and the Integer Wavelet Transform-Discrete Cosine Transform (IWT-DCT). This method utilizes the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256) to first segment the brain's Region of Interest (RoI). Subsequently, the hashed RoI, along with an ECDSA signature, is embedded into the high-frequency sub-bands of the medical image using IWT-DCT. The embedding process strategically alters the coefficients of the high-frequency sub-bands to accommodate the signature while minimizing perceptual distortion. The technique leverages the robustness of transformed-domain image watermarking techniques against various attacks and combines it with SHA-256 for integrity and ECDSA for authentication purposes. The results demonstrate that the suggested approach is robust to a variety of image processing techniques, including noise addition, filtering, and compression while maintaining high levels of imperceptibility. Key metrics such as the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) were used to evaluate performance. The suggested strategy exhibited a substantial improvement over existing methods. The PSNR increased to 68.67, indicating higher image quality, while the MSE reduced to 0.96, demonstrating closer pixel values to the or
