Abstract

Remote Patient monitoring is the current need of society. As the world has recently faced a pandemic and has realized the importance of RPMS for regular check-ups of patients. Blockchain, being the efficient technology in providing a secure environment for storing the data, can be used at different levels when combined with other technologies.A hybrid system using blockchain and IoT-sensors to detect and record the human vitals and interfacing these data to a website using wireless protocols for real-time monitoring is implemented by combining these two technologies. Using the Interplanetary file system (IPFS),blockchain, and smart contract patient's data is provided with the security it needs. The combination of these technologies will drive the control of the data in the patient’s hand as they are the real owners of the data. Thus, improving the quality of healthcare by making it more efficient, reducing costs and cybercrimes against medical data.
