Abstract
In current situation, Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) becomes a very serious health concern to the human life throughout the world. The Internet of Medical Things(IoMT) allows to deploy several wearable Internet of Things(IoT) enabled smart devices in a patient's body. The deployed smart devices should then securely communicate to nearby mobile devices installed in a smart home, which then securely communicate with the associated Fog server for information processing. The processed information in terms of transactions are formed as blocks and put into a private blockchain consisting of cloud servers. Since the patient's vital signs are very confidential and private, we apply the private blockchain. This article makes utilization of Fog computing and blockchain technology simultaneously to come up with more secure system in an IoMT-enabled COVID-19 situation for patients' home monitoring purpose. We first discuss various phases related to development of a new Fog-based private blockchain-enabled home monitoring framework. Next, we discuss how Artificial Intelligence(AI)-enabled Big data analytics helps in analyzing and tracking the patients' information related to COVID-19 cases. Finally, a blockchain implementation has been performed to exhibit practical demonstration of the proposed blockchain system.
