Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm can improve a broad range of applications, such as medical sensors, smart cities, industrial monitoring, and so on. In healthcare specifically, these devices can aid in management tasks and improve the quality of life of patients in intensive care. However, securing medical IoT devices and its data is a crucial task. Not only do they handle Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and physiological information, but in some cases, disruption can affect a patient's treatment. Blockchain technologies applied in the healthcare context can provide privacy, immutability, decentralization, and easier access and sharing of medical data. Despite the emergence of applications aiming to solve security issues in the Healthcare IoT (HIoT) scenario using blockchain, there is still much to be addressed, mainly regarding throughput, storage of data, and efficient use of resources. This work proposes a blockchain-based storage architecture for HIoT, using a private network and distributed data storage to achieve integrity, accountability, and availability of medical data.

基于区块链的资源受限医疗保健安全存储架构设计

物联网(IoT)模式可以改善广泛的应用，如医疗传感器、智慧城市、工业监控等。特别是在医疗保健领域，这些设备可以帮助管理任务并提高重症监护患者的生活质量。然而，保护医疗物联网设备及其数据是一项至关重要的任务。他们不仅要处理电子医疗记录(EMR)和生理信息，而且在某些情况下，中断可能会影响患者的治疗。应用于医疗保健环境中的区块链技术可以提供隐私、不变性、去中心化以及更容易地访问和共享医疗数据。尽管出现了旨在使用区块链解决医疗保健物联网(HIoT)场景中的安全问题的应用程序，但仍有许多问题需要解决，主要涉及吞吐量、数据存储和资源的有效利用。这项工作提出了一种基于区块链的HIoT存储架构，使用专用网络和分布式数据存储来实现医疗数据的完整性、问责性和可用性。
