Securing IoT-Driven Remote Healthcare Data Through Blockchain

Blockchain is the latest technology which is used in cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether. Blockchain is the decentralized distributed ledger, which is based on the peer-to-peer network method. As the blockchain is mainly developed for implementation in the virtual cryptocurrency such as bitcoin, so its main purpose is clear that is security. Even though the healthcare industry is leading in majority of fields whether it is technology, equipment, researches, medicines, etc. We have even reached to remote locations through IoT devices and but one major thing is still lacking that is security of the data. Huge amount of data is being generated everyday from patient’s medical checkups, treatments, symptoms, etc., which is to be dealt with care as they are very crucial and can be tempered by hackers which can lead to serious problems. Therefore, such critical data must need to be secured with blockchain as it makes it very difficult to tamper with data. This paper deals with the implementation of the blockchain to solve the above-mentioned problems.
