Abstract

This article presents a secure framework for remote healthcare monitoring in the context of home isolation, thereby addressing the concerns related to untrustworthy client connections to a hospital information system (HIS) within a secure network. Our proposed solution leverages a public blockchain network as a secure distributed database to buffer and transmit patient vital signs. The framework integrates an algorithm for the secure gathering and transmission of vital signs to the Ethereum network. Additionally, we introduce a publish/subscribe paradigm, thus enhancing security using the TLS channel to connect to the blockchain network. An analysis of the maintenance cost of the distributed database underscores the cost-effectiveness of our approach. In conclusion, our framework provides a highly secure and economical solution for remote healthcare monitoring in home isolation scenarios.

用于家庭隔离的安全区块链远程医疗监控系统

本文提出了一种在家庭隔离背景下进行远程医疗监控的安全框架，从而解决了在安全网络中与医院信息系统（HIS）的不可靠客户端连接相关的问题。我们提出的解决方案利用公共区块链网络作为安全的分布式数据库来缓冲和传输病人的生命体征。该框架集成了一种算法，用于向以太坊网络安全收集和传输生命体征。此外，我们还引入了发布/订阅范式，从而利用 TLS 通道连接到区块链网络，增强了安全性。对分布式数据库维护成本的分析强调了我们方法的成本效益。总之，我们的框架为家庭隔离场景中的远程医疗监控提供了一个高度安全且经济的解决方案。
