Abstract

Diabetes is a widely prevalent medical condition affecting patients across geographies, ethnicities, and age groups. Though a lot of medication procedures have been in practice and have been proposed in the literature till now, each patient requires an optimized treatment of diabetic conditions based on his/her physical features and body chemistry. To achieve this, it is imperative to gather data on thousands of patients about their physical conditions and their body chemistry. This is now possible to obtain due to developments in Internet of Things that enable detection of multiple heath parameters (e.g. heartbeat rate, body temperature, pulse rate etc.) using technologies relying upon Internet of Things which allow gathering of info remotely and storing them in the cloud. However, the most important inhibiting because that prevents this gathering of data is distrust of the patients that their vital physical information falls into the hands of inimical elements with mal intentions. In this regard, blockchain technology might be utilized for increasing privacy of the info that has been shared by the patients for getting into the hands of nefarious actors. Hence, we aim to investigate currently proposed fog-computing network architectures that enable blockchain-based information sharing in healthcare organizations. The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, i.e. 15–250 words.
