Abstract
The concept of Blockchain has penetrated a wide range of scientific areas, and its use is considered to rise exponentially in the near future. Executing short scripts of predefined code called smart contracts on Blockchain can eliminate the need of intermediaries and can also raise the multitude of execution of contracts. In this paper, we discuss the concept of Blockchain along with smart contracts and discuss their applicability in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in the e-healthcare domain. The paper analyses the dimensions that decentralization and the use of smart contracts will take the IoMT in e-healthcare, proposes a novel architecture, and also outlines the advantages, challenges, and future trends related to the integration of all three. The proposed architecture shows its effectiveness with average packet delivery ratio, average latency, and average energy efficiency performance parameters when compared with traditional approaches.
Highlights
In 2008, a white paper was published by Satoshi Nakamoto [1] on Bitcoin, which primarily proposed a solution to the double spending problem found in economic transactions
In order to answer all these questions, we propose a novel architecture for the implementation of smart contracts based on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) in e-healthcare to show the usage of applications
Time, and energy are the major factors for the motivation to integrate the Blockchain with IoMT in e-healthcare to increase the life of sensors nodes
Summary
In 2008, a white paper was published by Satoshi Nakamoto [1] on Bitcoin, which primarily proposed a solution to the double spending problem found in economic transactions. When it comes to the Internet of Medical Things in e-healthcare, the Blockchain has to be slightly modified to work in a partially decentralized manner [20]. Depends on the accessibility definedconsumption in the High in most of the cases, but can Blockchain be completely centralized manner, incurring significant of resources, but Transparency contract for individual classes of nodes restricted to application level demands complete decentralization, which is not feasible to execute in most.
