Abstract
Advances in the Internet of Things (IoT), fog computing, and cloud computing have caused the IoT’s usage to proliferate in diversified applications. An IoT-based health care system involves a wireless body area network (WBAN), smart devices and equipment integrated with sensors, which sends a large volume of multimedia data to various stakeholders, cloud storage, and fog devices for processing. One of the fundamental drivers of the medical services field is the electronic health record (EHR). With the development of versatile and universal registering, the quantity of records is expanding exponentially. EHR frameworks face issues with respect to information security and uprightness. The complete process of the transaction of sensitive EHR necessitates the employment of a secure and authenticated system. Such a secure, transparent, and immutable system can be developed using blockchain technology. Blockchain has proven itself in the literature to be an attractive potential solution for data management, reliability, and security in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This chapter proposes a framework for leveraging the unique properties of blockchain to implement confidentiality, authentication, and data sharing, critical aspects while handling sensitive information. In the proposed framework for providing secure e-health, blockchain is used for EHR, secure storage, and analytics of electronic records with the integration of fog computing, cloud computing, and IoT infrastructure.
