Abstract

The chapter delves into the integration of blockchain technology to enhance security and privacy in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). It introduces the MediGuard framework, a decentralized, community-managed system designed to address the limitations of traditional cloud-centric architectures. The article highlights the use of blockchain for transparent and tamper-proof data management, smart contracts for automating healthcare processes, and hybrid computing to optimize real-time data usage. Additionally, it discusses the implementation of the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) for efficient data storage and the RSA encryption method for securing sensitive medical data. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of robust access control mechanisms and the potential of the MediGuard framework to revolutionize healthcare data management.
