Abstract
AbstractSmart healthcare, also known as IoT (Internet of Things) based healthcare, utilizes IoT technology to enhance the healthcare industry. The use of IoT‐enabled medical equipment enables remote monitoring of patients, allowing for in‐home care and alerting healthcare providers of any changes. This can lead to improved patient outcomes and better disease management. However, it is important to implement robust security measures to protect patient data when using IoT in healthcare. One potential solution is to use blockchain technology to secure data storage and sharing with medical providers. Blockchain's decentralized structure and cryptographic techniques make it difficult for hackers to access or tamper with patient information. Additionally, IPFS (InterPlanetary file system) can be used for efficient data storage and sharing with authorized medical professionals, while smart contract functionality can automate the process of granting and revoking access to patient data. This article proposes a blockchain‐based secure remote patient monitoring system, specifically for chronic disease patients. The system utilizes distributed blockchain for data security, IPFS for data storage and sharing, and DApp for data collection and connection to the blockchain, along with encryption for added security. The proposed approach is compared to existing solutions and found to be a superior option for IoT‐based healthcare.
