Abstract

Recent technological advancements are offering users new and easier ways to access healthcare services. With the advent of high-speed networks, low-cost storage, inexpensive telecommunication systems, patient monitoring systems, and cloud computing, telecare medical information system (TMIS) is becoming a reality. Due to the advantage of telehealthcare medical system, we are reaching directly to the patient home over internet or mobile networks and data is stored as electronic medical records (EMR).The major challenge here is ensuring secure access of communication data by patients and doctors; for this we need a secure and efficient way of user access control and the data stored in the cloud, so that attacker cannot impersonate the user data and medical server. The confidentiality, integrity and availability need to be ensured. Also, the authentication process should be user friendly so that patients can use it easily. Medical data includes medical images, prescription by doctors, and sensors data which might be tampered by intruders. Our aim is to overcome the limitation of present market scenario and provide the efficient way of communication between user and doctor with the help of blockchain technology in cloud-based medical system.
