Blockchain- LSTM Integration for Securing and Enhancing Real-Time Healthcare Analytics

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study on integrating Deep Learning (DL) modelling Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based models with blockchain technology to deal with the most critical problems in healthcare data management, security and analytics. Escalating the size of healthcare data exponentially due to the development of e-HRs (electronic health records), wearables, and real-time monitoring systems pushed traditional data storage and processing practices into the limelight as their most significant weaknesses. LSTM networks are perfect for analyzing time-series data in health care, such as disease classification, anomaly detection, and patient outcome prediction over the long run. Nevertheless, these models require sound data protection techniques and privacy measures to be followed per the regulations while maintaining trust. Blockchain technology fills in the gaps beyond LSTM by offering a decentralized, tamper-proof platform to safely store and share data, keeping confidentiality, integrity, and availability simultaneously. This paper surveys the available literature on hybrid models by flushing out the topic with the help of LSTM and blockchain. It explores their potential use in real-time healthcare analytics applications, along with the challenges of scalability and interoperability. By presenting a model through the use of these technologies, the research centres on sharpening health information systems such as accuracy, security, and transparency, which in turn intensify the trust of both the patients and the providers of care, thus enabling the development of a patient care solution that is more reliable and efficient.
