Secured Healthcare Data Analytics on the Cloud Using Blockchain-Based Techniques

Abstract

Blockchain and the internet of things (IoT) are progressive technologies that are changing the world with additional special care within the healthcare system. In healthcare, IoT is a remote patient monitoring system that allows IoT devices to collect patient information such as remote monitoring, test results, pharmacy detailsm and medical insurance details, and allows doctors to provide excellent care. In order to facilitate data sharing among different hospitals and other organizations, it is necessary to secure data with caution. Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, and an immutable digital ledger that records healthcare transactions using peer-to-peer technology in an extremely secure manner. It uses the cloud environment to store the huge amount of data on healthcare. The data generated from IoT devices uses blockchain technology to share medical information being analyzed by healthcare professionals in different hospitals in a secure manner. The objective is to benefit patient monitoring remotely and overcome the problem of information blocking.
