Securing Multi-Modal Medical Data Management System using Blockchain and the Internet of Medical Things

Abstract

The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) refers to a network of interconnected smart medical devices, apps, medical systems, and institutions. The smart medical gadgets and apps are interconnected over the Internet with healthcare frameworks. Confidentiality and safety of patient information, scalability, and information availability are the most intricate difficulties of IoT, especially within the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and must be addressed. Blockchain (BC) can potentially transform existing methods of information admission, interchange, gathering, regulator, and involvement. This study presents a Secured Multi-Modal Medical Data Management System (SMMDM) using BC and the IoMT. The proposed SMMDM ensures safe data management among individual servers and sensor-based therapeutic devices, as well as among cloud and individual servers. The IoMT-based safety architecture employs BC to provide secure data transfer and management across interconnected nodes. The BC key has been employed in a healthcare application network, enabling the safe generation of alerts from patient health data for verified healthcare practitioners.
