- Description
- Health is the biggest challenge to a majority of citizens regardless of age group and with the shortage of major components in the healthcare sector, life expectancy tends to reduce due to a lack of facilities. Technology on the other hand is reaching out to meet some of the demands that the healthcare will continuously require in order to deliver their services on time. One such technology is known as the internet of things (IoT). IoT has already proven its great potential towards the healthcare domain. IoT has the ability to allow patients to be monitored from the comfort of their homes through sensors equipped within devices deployed to perform specific tasks. The other technology is none other than the Blockchain which was introduced to deliver its capabilities in the financial ledger. The Blockchain helps to keep track of all the transactions being recorded, which in healthcare sector the need for Blockchain can be transformed to keep a trace of patient records. Since the IoT devices have the capability to monitor vital signs in the human body, it will be of a great achievement to integrate it with the Blockchain to keep an efficient system of healthcare records. The approach of this work is presented based on an Blockchained-IoT system to improve challenges of storing patients’ data captured by wearable IoT devices to help medical caregivers to make more informed decisions based on the efficient healthcare record-keeping. The design science approach will be proposed in our research to run the full experiment of our work.
