In a pandemic situation such as that we are living at the time of writing of this paper due to the Covid-19 virus, the need of tele-healthcare service becomes dramatically fundamental to reduce the movement of patients, thence reducing the risk of infection. Leveraging the recent Cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, this paper aims at proposing a tele-medical laboratory service where clinical exams are performed on patients directly in a hospital by technicians through IoT medical devices and results are automatically sent via the hospital Cloud to doctors of federated hospitals for validation and/or consultation. In particular, we discuss a distributed scenario where nurses, technicians and medical doctors belonging to different hospitals cooperate through their federated hospital Clouds to form a virtual health team able to carry out a healthcare workflow in secure fashion leveraging the intrinsic security features of the Blockchain technology. In particular, both public and hybrid Blockchain scenarios are discussed and assessed using the Ethereum platform.

Big data in the healthcare has been growing rapidly in recent years. A massive amount of patient’s data is generated through various sources in this digitalized environment including wearable devices, mobile devices, electronic health records and medical centres. The medical data, which are exploding exponentially includes a large volume of structured and unstructured data. Patients information is shared and managed by many sources such as insurance, in the form of prescription, healthcare providers including the attackers which causes a severe security threats their confidential data. Cybercriminals use a variety of social engineering attacks like phishing, leakage of data, embedding virus and trojan horse into the attachments, DNS snooping, sniffing, and many more. In this paper a brief overview is done on different data mining and security techniques which are implemented in healthcare data. The study and its presentation in this context would be helpful in not only analysing but also predicting chronic diseases depending upon the available stored data which has been collected from various sources in the area of medical expert system.

Anyone who wants to trade something in his possession with something else desires three things: To trade at the most appropriate rate, to trade at the least cost, not to be exposed to theft and fraud during the clearing. The cryptocurrency swap is also no different from swapping of any two entities. Crypto-currencies are getting more and more attractive day by day because their stock exchanges are open 24/7. Although all crypto-money markets in the world have similar expectations, existing market models have difficulties and risks while operating on them. The problem of this research is centralized exchange markets and risks while operating on them. The study aims to develop a distributed exchange model on blockchain using smart contracts for atomic swap method, and payment channels technology for liquidity. With this model, users will pay less without taking risks of centralized exchange markets, like hacking, theft and fraud. In central exchanges, users first send their cryptocurrencies to the stock exchange's account to trade. This results in collection of all cryptocurrencies of users in a single pool. With this model, users will be allowed to wait in their wallets until the cryptocurrency is exchanged, and the risk of central hacking will be eliminated. Original contribution of this study to the literature is to combine Atomic Swap and Payment Channels technologies to create a liquid decentralized stock market model as much as central exchanges.
