Blockchain-Based Internet of Medical Things

Abstract

IoMT sensor nodes, Internet of Things (IoT) wearable medical equipment, healthcare facilities, patients, and insurance firms are all increasingly being included in IoMT systems. Therefore, it is difficult to create a blockchain design for such systems, since scalability is among the most important aspects of blockchain technology. This realization prompted us to comprehensively analyze blockchain-based IoMT solutions developed in English between 2017 and 2022. This review incorporates the theoretical underpinnings of a large body of work published in highly regarded academic journals over the past decade, to standardize evaluation methods and fully capture the rapidly developing blockchain space. This study categorizes blockchain-enabled applications across various industries such as information management, privacy, healthcare, business, and supply chains according to a structured, systematic evaluation, and thematic content analysis of the literature that is already identified. The gaps in the literature on the topic have also been highlighted, with a special focus on the restrictions posed by blockchain technology and the knock-on effects that such restrictions have in other fields. Based on these results, several open research questions and potential avenues for further investigation that are likely to be useful to academics and professionals alike are pinpointed.

A comprehensive secure system enabling healthcare 5.0 using federated learning, intrusion detection and blockchain

“…Various problems are associated with the security and privacy of the data in the IoMT ( Taherdoost, 2023 ). Combined networks incentivize hackers to find information in the connected devices.…”

Blockchain-Enabled Cybersecurity Framework for Safeguarding Patient Data in Medical Informatics

“…Rapid developments in large-scale industrial automation, safety, and monitoring were brought about by the Industrial Revolution. Because it incorporates an extensive variety of wireless sensors and monitors for large equipment monitoring and problem detection, the Industrial IoT has consequently generated a lot of attention [5]. Infection control and pandemic measures are shared by some nations with other nations.…”

Smart Contract-Based Access Control Framework for Internet of Things Devices

“…In addition, authentication and access control are the first lines of protection because they only allow individuals with the necessary rights to access data [11,12]. To guarantee data security and integrity, secure IoT systems require reciprocal permission between IoT devices and other networks [13][14][15]. If not, these systems will be vulnerable to various security issues, such as unauthorized access, data theft, and data modification [16][17][18][19].…”
