“…The analysis of the obtained data of the impedance components by the invasive method, shown in the graph (dependence R=f(t) for different distances between electrodes in Figure 10), shows that the active component of the impedance, both intercellular and cellular, varies according to a linear law depending on the distance between the electrodes, which corresponds to the pattern according to formula (1). The capacitive component, formula (2), which leads to the transient process caused by ionisation, does not change. The sensitivity of the needle sensor increases by (8)(9)% when the distance between the electrodes is reduced by every ΔL=1 cm.…”

“…In diagnostic and medical practice, the bioimpedance method -a change in the complex resistance (impedance) of biological tissue under the action of voltage -has found wide application [1][2][3]. The effect of direct and alternating electric current on the electrical conductivity of biological tissue has been the subject of many scientific studies [4; 5].…”

The change in the impedance of biological tissue under the influence of voltage is used in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Mathematical models describing physical and biological processes in biological objects are based on electrical substitution schemes. The subject of research of this work was the study of the change in the impedance of biological tissue in the transient process of ionization under the action of DC voltage. An analysis of the known substitution schemes was carried out, the shortcomings of their application were identified when the transient processes of ionization in the tissue under the action of direct current voltage were studied, and the substitution scheme with the introduction of additional resistance was substantiated, both analytically and experimentally. In the work, the bioimpedance method is applied when direct current voltage is applied to biological tissue, taking into account the law of commutation in transient ionization processes. An invasive measurement of the change in impedance with needle electrodes was carried out, and it was proved that the active component proportionally depends on the distance between the electrodes, while the capacitive component remains unchanged. It is shown that the ionization time constant is a criterion parameter and can be used in the diagnosis of the development of ischemic disease of muscle tissue, the change in the state of biological tissue when blood flow is stopped during the application of a tourniquet. It has been proven that the ionization time constant does not change with an unchanged ionic composition of the tissue and can be used in the analysis of the composition of the intercellular space. A simultaneous invasive measurement was performed in two identical places of different limbs, on one of which a hemostatic tourniquet was applied. The obtained results made it possible to conclude that a change in the constant time from 15% to 50% compared to two constant times allows for rapid diagnosis, within 2 minutes, of the state of biological tissue and can be used in the study of the development of diseases associated with ischemia. The results of the study can be used for rapid diagnosis of the state of a biological object and the creation of an inexpensive device for its use in surgery and research laboratories

“…These continually proposed IoMT solutions has shown that blockchain technology and the IPFS are effective and trending for enhancing data security and privacy in IoMT. The usage of blockchain in IoMT has been reviewed by Hölbl et al (2018); Bigini et al (2020); Gupta et al (2022); Alhaj et al (2022). Interestingly, it can be seen through these surveys that the IPFS was often used with blockchain in IoMT solutions, as an outsourced decentralized data storage.…”

Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) combines Internet of Things (IoT) with medical devices to facilitate healthcare, providing affordable solutions, and faster treatments to patients. An increase in IoMT use has led to several security/privacy challenges, since many IoMT devices have not been designed with security and privacy features in mind, which makes them vulnerable to attacks. Furthermore, as security risks and threats affect all the layers developed for IoMT-based architectures, an IoMT network must follow stricter privacy and security specifications compared to other IoT devices. In order to address this, we present a new IoT-based architecture to improve the data privacy, security, and integrity leveraging distributed InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) storage and blockchain. The data captured from medical devices is split into multiple encrypted pieces using Secret Sharing Algorithm (SSA) and these pieces are then stored in distributed IPFS storage hosted on edge and cloud servers, and their copies are verifiable by a blockchain network. The applied SSA method ensures that even if a piece of data is compromised, the original data is neither leaked nor lost. Our proposed architecture is implemented and tested on an IoMT-based monitoring system to investigate its feasibility, scalability, and performance.

“…The blockchain-based solution for the integrity problem in robotics communication comes with the cost of energy consumption. Due to its distributed, decentralized, integritypreserving, and auditable features, blockchain technology has recently been recognized as a crucial tool for solving network and cybersecurity issues [48][49][50][51]. Unfortunately, when applied, the blockchain's intricate workflow uses a lot of electricity (energy), defeating the purpose of many real-world applications while making it difficult to meet the demands of low-energy robotics applications.…”

In this work, we propose a blockchain-based solution for securing robot-to-robot communication for a task with a high socioeconomic impact—information gathering. The objective of the robots is to gather maximal information about an unknown ambient phenomenon such as soil humidity distribution in a field. More specifically, we use the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus protocol for the robots to securely coordinate while rejecting tampered data injected by a malicious entity. As the blockchain-based PoW protocol has a large energy footprint, we next employ an algorithmically-engineered energy-efficient version of PoW. Results show that our proposed energy-efficient PoW-based protocol can reduce energy consumption by 14% while easily scaling up to 10 robots.
