Abstract :
The current period of medicine using digital
technology for patient care presents a new level of
integration of monitoring devices with the cloud
computing environment that enables the collection,
storage and access to data in ways that were never
possible earlier. As the obvious part of this development,
it is worth noting that the objective of such innovation is
mostly on the integrity of data, provenance and security.
Data integrity from as well as security of the Internet
connected healthcare devices should be assured in the first
place to keep patient safety and protect data privacy along
with improve data-based decision-making. The
centralized system and crowded nature of the current
equipment are susceptible to single point of failure, data
breach and potential manipulations of data, which raise
questions and create doubts with regards data
management processes pertaining to medical device
systems. This work is addressed to the analysis of a novel
security system based on blockchain that guarantees the
implementation of a high performance with the solution
of two medical device integrity and provenance safety
issues in the cloud ecosystem. Fundamentally
differentiating from the centralized systems that exist
today, blockchain technology that is based on distributed
database architectures, immutable logs, and consensus
mechanisms provides for a new way to bring reliability
and traceability to the entire medical device data chain.
The suggested procedure is based on properties of
blockchain technology. Such a solution can help to
provide a clear and secure audit trail for medical devices.
Storing, securing and accessing the device data can be
carried out credibly, maintaining these data’s integrity
and provenance. Ultimately, the solution, rely on the
implementation of smart contracts, cryptocurrency
processes, and the confidentiality and privacy of data, can
be the answer which make up the practice of secure data
sharing, data accessing and complying with regulations.
The journal creates a modular system combining Medical
devices, a cloud platform, and Blockchain solution. The
architecture is intended to display the blockchain
network's essential components, data validation and
access control, and secure data storage mechanisms.
Furthermore, the recommended solution implies state-of-
the-art security tools, such as data encryption, access
control, and abidance by regulatory systems, including
HIPAA and GDPR. Implementation of an actual scenario
of the proof-of-concept and performance evaluation are
done to show the efficiency and performance of the
blockchain-based solution provided. The results suggest
that the proposed solution can establish the data
reliability level, record all the various versions of
modifications, and strengthen the security and
transparency of medical device data processing in cloud
computing. Through the exploration of the applications of
blockchain for medical data management that this study
proposes, we are laying the foundations of a future
healthcare environment, which is expected to be more
secure and trustworthy, where the sensor data of medical
devices can be reliably controlled and accessed without
jeopardizing the patient's safety or data privacy. To a
great extent, the suggested solution can contribute to
building trust in the digital tools utilized in health care,
leading to more well-informed clinical decisions and
ultimately improving the patients' results.
