Summary
This study introduces a blockchain-enabled serverless network for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to enhance data security and reduce application execution costs. The proposed system improves data security by 10% and lowers costs by 33%.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Healthcare Technology
- Network Security
Background:
- The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is expanding, connecting healthcare sensors to distributed fog servers for disease management.
- Challenges in IoMT include ensuring data security for healthcare applications and optimizing application scheduling for cost and Quality of Service (QoS).
Purpose of the Study:
- To devise a Cost-Efficient Service Selection and Execution and Blockchain-Enabled Serverless Network for IoMT.
- To address data security and cost-efficient, QoS-efficient scheduling of healthcare applications in IoMT.
Main Methods:
- Developed a novel system integrating blockchain and serverless computing for IoMT service selection and execution.
- Focused on selecting cost-efficient services and scheduling tasks based on QoS and minimum execution cost.
Main Results:
- The proposed system demonstrated improved data security by 10% compared to existing schemes.
- Achieved a 33% reduction in the cost of healthcare application execution within the IoMT system.
Conclusions:
- The blockchain-enabled serverless network effectively enhances data security in IoMT.
- The system provides a cost-efficient and QoS-efficient solution for scheduling healthcare applications in distributed IoMT environments.

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.
