Abstract Blockchain technology promotes the development of the Internet of medical things (IoMT) from the centralized form to distributed trust mode as blockchain-based Internet of medical things (BIoMT). Although blockchain improves the cross-institution data sharing ability, there still exist the problems of authentication difficulty and privacy leakage. This paper first describes the architecture of the BIoMT system and designs an anonymous authentication model for medical data sharing. This BIoMT system is divided into four layers: perceptual, network, platform, and application. The model integrates an anonymous authentication scheme to guarantee secure data sharing in the network ledger. Utilizing the untampered blockchain ledger… More >

Abstract In this paper, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is identified as a promising solution, which integrates with the cloud computing environment to provide remote health monitoring solutions and improve the quality of service (QoS) in the healthcare sector. However, problems with the present architectural models such as those related to energy consumption, service latency, execution cost, and resource usage, remain a major concern for adopting IoMT applications. To address these problems, this work presents a four-tier IoMT-edge-fog-cloud architecture along with an optimization model formulated using Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP), with the objective of efficiently processing and placing IoMT… More >

Abstract Rapid technological advancement has enabled modern healthcare systems to provide more sophisticated and real-time services on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). The existing cloud-based, centralized IoMT architectures are vulnerable to multiple security and privacy problems. The blockchain-enabled IoMT is an emerging paradigm that can ensure the security and trustworthiness of medical data sharing in the IoMT networks. This article presents a private and easily expandable blockchain-based framework for the IoMT. The proposed framework contains several participants, including private blockchain, hospital management systems, cloud service providers, doctors, and patients. Data security is ensured by incorporating an attribute-based encryption scheme. Furthermore,… More >

Abstract The lungs are the main fundamental part of the human respiratory system and are among the major organs of the human body. Lung disorders, including Coronavirus (Covid-19), are among the world’s deadliest and most life-threatening diseases. Early and social distance-based detection and treatment can save lives as well as protect the rest of humanity. Even though X-rays or Computed Tomography (CT) scans are the imaging techniques to analyze lung-related disorders, medical practitioners still find it challenging to analyze and identify lung cancer from scanned images. unless COVID-19 reaches the lungs, it is unable to be diagnosed. through these modalities. So,… More >

Abstract The advancements in sensing technologies, information processing, and communication schemes have revolutionized the healthcare sector. Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) facilitate the patients, doctors, hospitals, and other stakeholders to maintain valuable data and medical records. The traditional EHRs are based on cloud-based architectures and are susceptible to multiple cyberattacks. A single attempt of a successful Denial of Service (DoS) attack can compromise the complete healthcare system. This article introduces a secure and immutable blockchain-based framework for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to address the stated challenges. The proposed architecture is on the idea of a lightweight private blockchain-based network that… More >

Abstract The internet of medical things (IoMT) empowers patients to get adaptable, and virtualized gear over the internet. Task scheduling is the most fundamental problem in the IoMT-cloud since cloud execution commonly relies on it. Thus, a proposition is being made for a distinct scheduling technique to suitably meet these solicitations. To manage the scheduling issue, an artificial intelligence (AI) method known as a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) is proposed. The proposed AI method will be justified by contrasting it with other traditional optimization and AI scheduling approaches. The CloudSim is utilized to quantify its effect on various parameters like time,… More >

Abstract Malfunction of human liver happens due to non-alcoholic fatty liver. Fatty liver measurement is used for grading hepatic steatosis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. The various imaging techniques for measuring fatty liver are Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound and Computed Tomography. Imaging modalities lead to the exposure of harmful radiation of electromagnetic waves because of frequent measurement. The continuous monitoring of fatty liver is never achieved through imaging techniques. In this paper, the human fatty liver measured through a Fatty Liver Sensor (FLS). The continuous monitoring of the fatty liver is achieved through the FLS. FLS is fabricated through the screen-printing with materials… More >
