Abstract

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has made the world suffer ravaging costs and damage to human lives, perhaps never seen in modern world. Pandemics will keep reviving till such time the humans attain a disease-less world state. Till such realizations are attained, we need to attempt retarding the pandemics by exploiting information systems enabled with new genre IT technologies, and blockchain offers one such way for realization. This paper proposes medical IoT architecture enabled by blockchain and further augmented with distributed storage protocol to retard any such pandemics ahead. The works have been performed on a Multichain permissioned blockchain platform and IPFS protocol.
