Abstract

In the concept of IoT technology, various physical objects, things, machines and even peoples can communicate with each other through the internet. Predictably, millions of devices would be connected and shared in the coming future. In this technology, there are various types of sensors attached to these devices. These sensors can use different types of connections like RFID, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and the internet via wireless and wired network configurations. There are many IoT enabled applications like smart home, intelligent traffic, smart energy, innovative healthcare, smart agriculture, etc., and these applications enhance the existing infrastructure a lot. There are many challenges with this technology, such as data privacy and security, user authentication, attacks countermeasure, easy deployment and self-maintenance. IoT enabled healthcare system is one of the applications which can be boost by integrated blockchain technology. Although blockchain technology is based on expensive computation, it involves the overhead of high bandwidth and delay. Therefore, it is not entirely fit for resource-constrained IoT devices suggested smart healthcare system (Dwivedi et al. in Sensors, 2019; Dorri et al. in Blockchain in Internet of Things: Challenges and Solutions). The key objective of this chapter is to investigate and proposed a modified power and energy-efficient architecture to integrate the IoT and the blockchain in the application of digital healthcare information system to eliminate the overhead of the blockchain technology security and privacy benefits. This integration might be beneficial not only for the patients but also for the doctors, medical caregivers, insurance companies, pharmacies and hospitals. In this chapter, we have discussed the power and energy-efficient architecture of IoT enabled healthcare system using blockchain and its application in numerous fields of the healthcare system (Srivastava in A Light and Secure Healthcare Blockchain for IoT Medical Devices. IEEE, CCECE, Edmonton, AB, Canada, 2019). In the last section, we discussed various benefits, challenges, opportunities, various security challenges in IoT enabled healthcare with a Blockchain system with the solution and currently ongoing research along with future directions.
