Abstract
Medical care has evolved into a lifeline for many people; due to this, there is an explosion in the field of medical big data. Wearable technology based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is being used by healthcare professionals to speed up diagnosis and treatment. There are now numerous sensors and devices, which are connected to the Internet. Internet of HealthThings (IoHT) can be used in many different ways in healthcare. Sensors and remote-monitored medical devices can help patients get more accurate and efficient diagnostics. This paper focuses on healthcare automation using the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices. IoT-driven healthcare models can keep patients healthy and safe, enabling doctors to provide better care. In addition, healthcare frameworks significantly reduce healthcare costs and improve performance. Blockchain systems are transparent and thus safe to store and share private information. Data collected by medical devices attached to the body is kept in a cloud server alongside relevant medical reports as part of the proposed framework. The use of blockchain and 5G technology means that patients’ data can be securely transmitted at high speeds and with rapid response times.
