ABSTRACT
For decades artificial intelligence (AI) has been used for various applications in the healthcare industry. Machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms allow us to diagnose and customize medical care and follow-up plans to get better results, and during the covid19 pandemic, it was found that AI models have been using to predict the Covid-19 symptoms, understanding how it spreads, speeding up research and treatment using medical data. However, it is very challenging to make a robust AI model and use it in a real-time and real-world environment since most organizations do not want to share their data with other third parties due to privacy concerns, furthermore, it is difficult to build a generalized prediction model because of the fragmented nature of the patient data across the healthcare system. To solve the above problems, this paper presents a solution based on blockchain and AI technologies. The blockchain will securely protect the data access and AI-based federated learning for building a robust model for global and real-time usage. © 2022 Global IT Research Institute-GiRI.
ABSTRACT
Developing and using the rich data implied by dynamic digital twins and blockchain is relevant to manage both patients and medical resources (e.g., doctors/nurses, ventilators etc.) at the COVID-19 and post COVID period. This paper aims at exploring the blockchain solutions for preparing healthcare systems ready for both efficient operation daily and in pandemic through (1) information integration of patient and medical resource flow from healthcare and medical records;(2) optimizing the deployment of such resources based on hospitals, regions and local pandemic levels switching from normal to the outbreak. The main idea is to develop the concepts of the novel framework for creating an inter-hospital resilient network for pandemic response based on blockchain and dynamic digital twin, which will set up innovative ways to best care for patients, protect NHS staff, and support government scientific decisions to beat COVID-19 now and manage the crisis in the future. © 2021 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
An Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled and blockchain-driven Electronic Health Record (EHR) maintenance system has a tremendous potential to facilitate reliable, secure, and robust storage systems for EHRs. Such an EHR system would also facilitate researchers, doctors, and government authorities to access data for research, perform analytics, and help in making well-informed decisions. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is employed to classify the patients as potentially COVID-19 positive and potentially COVID-19 negative based on the clinical reports and reports of CT-scan. The data of potentially COVID-19 positive patients is stored on blockchain employing InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol. The accessibility of EHR can be done by authorized entities post verification and validation of entities. We analyze the performance of various AI-based algorithms employing metrics such as loss curve, accuracy, etc. for the task of predicting the patient's potential COVID-19 infection. The 6G network significantly mitigates the network latency and reliability issues and also facilitates the real-time transmission of information. The amount of data generated is pretty high amidst this pandemic and so we employed IPFS protocol which suffices to be a cost-effective solution, moreover satisfying all are stringent requirements. At last, we evaluate the network, security, and storage performance of our architecture MedBlock, which outperformed other state-of-the-art systems.
