Healthcare Blockchain System Using Smart Contracts for Secure Automated Remote Patient Monitoring
Abstract
As Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other remote patient monitoring systems increase in popularity, security concerns about the transfer and logging of data transactions arise. In order to handle the protected health information (PHI) generated by these devices, we propose utilizing blockchain-based smart contracts to facilitate secure analysis and management of medical sensors. Using a private blockchain based on the Ethereum protocol, we created a system where the sensors communicate with a smart device that calls smart contracts and writes records of all events on the blockchain. This smart contract system would support real-time patient monitoring and medical interventions by sending notifications to patients and medical professionals, while also maintaining a secure record of who has initiated these activities. This would resolve many security vulnerabilities associated with remote patient monitoring and automate the delivery of notifications to all involved parties in a HIPAA compliant manner.

“For example, blockchain adoption has been posited to have positive connotations in clinical trial management (Wong et al., 2019), DNA data transmission (S.J. Lee et al., 2018), remote patient monitoring (Griggs et al., 2018;Dwivedi et al., 2019) as well as drug discovery, biomarker development, and preventive healthcare (Mamoshina et al., 2018).”

“Time-related issues have also been discussed as a constraint, including the time spent searching for the global smart contracts (Dagher et al., 2018), increased time consumption (Islam et al., 2019), transmission timing (Griggs et al., 2018), time required for seeking the required data in shared storage by the data recipient (Rahmadika & Rhee, 2019), and higher total execution time (Kuo et al., 20”

“These concerns are mainly related to the technical limitations of blockchain technology, such as the security of individual nodes (Griggs et al., 2018), the level of security enabled by the cryptographic elements incorporated in framework (Tian et al., 2019), and the maintenance of data privacy while requesters complete their computations (Yue et al., 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
