Abstract


This research paper shows a decentralized healthcare architecture using the integration of internet of things (IoT), blockchain, and cloud to improve speed up tuple broken security as well as scalability. Real time health information (e.g., pulse rate, sugar level) from patients is captured by IoT devices and preprocessed at the fog computing layer to securely send them to a cloud platform. Immutability and transparency Patient health records recorded by blockchain solutions are highly irreversible due to the underlying technology, while smart contracts take care of data integrity and privacy. The cloud layer delivers storage that scales and works, also including real-time analytics to access patient data from anywhere for healthcare providers while the core helps manage long-term information architecture. It does so by automating healthcare workflows and taking some of the manual interventional processes out such that care delivery becomes even more efficient. Together, these technologies provide a secure, efficient, patient-centered healthcare system whose architecture can easily support future needs in remote patient monitoring and inter-institutional collaboration, responding to emerging demands from modern healthcare systems.
