A Blockchain Framework of Improved Security for Internet of Things Health Applications

Abstract

The design and development of the Internet of Things (IoT) have a remarkable advancements in recent years. An “Internet of Things” (IoT) is a term used to describe an interconnection of physical objects with a network that incorporates software, sensors, and other devices to exchange information. Because patient health records (PHR) are valuable and significant, security is the most crucial component of encryption over the Internet. Sensitive data is typically secured by a third party during transmission in an IoT setting, which leads to complex and sometimes deadly problems. To address security issues and do away with third parties’ involvement in an IoT environment, blockchain technology is the modern solution. The idea of a secure blockchain for Internet of Things (IoT) health applications is presented in this paper. Electronic health records (EHRs), which are used to deliver healthcare directly to patients while reducing physical contact between patients and healthcare providers, are the health information that is collected and saved electronically for educational purposes in today’s healthcare. Decision makers can enhance the healthcare industry and gain from the current e-government cloud computing infrastructure by using the provided framework. As a result, the proposed Blockchain work enhances the dependability of IoT systems. It also has the potential to reduce costs and boost efficiency.
