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.
