Abstract

Current health situations and crises require physicians and researchers to convert traditional healthcare services to a new generation of digital healthcare known as e-health smart systems that operate close to the end user with the objective to provide medical assistance using advanced technologies including Internet of Medical Things technology, edge computing, and cloud computing paradigms. However, this system architecture reveals limitations in terms of latency, bandwidth, power consumption as well as security and privacy of collected data. Through this paper, a presentation of different healthcare monitoring system layers has been defined, in addition to listed challenges faced by the deployment of this technology, while providing an introduction of security risks that threaten the user data safety alongside the e-health layers. Moreover, a summarized discussion of Blockchain technology came over to provide a secure decentralized architecture in sharing data across allowed entities.
