Abstract
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is transforming healthcare by allowing the storage of patient data for diagnostics and treatment. However, this technology faces significant challenges, including ensuring data reliability, security, quality, and privacy. This study proposes a new architecture that uses Federated Learning (FL) and BigchainDB to address these issues. By using FL and BigchainDB, only authorized and trustworthy devices can store their data in the blockchain. This prevents unauthorized access to the blockchain and its stored data. We evaluated this architecture on a real-world model.
期刊介绍:
Computing infrastructures and systems are constantly evolving, resulting in increasingly complex and collaborative scientific applications. To cope with these advancements, there is a growing need for collaborative tools that can effectively map, control, and execute these applications.
Furthermore, with the explosion of Big Data, there is a requirement for innovative methods and infrastructures to collect, analyze, and derive meaningful insights from the vast amount of data generated. This necessitates the integration of computational and storage capabilities, databases, sensors, and human collaboration.
Future Generation Computer Systems aims to pioneer advancements in distributed systems, collaborative environments, high-performance computing, and Big Data analytics. It strives to stay at the forefront of developments in grids, clouds, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to effectively address the challenges posed by these wide-area, fully distributed sensing and computing systems.
