Use of Blockchain Technology in Wireless Body Area Networks

Abstract

With the limited service available to traditional people, millions of the people have been impacted by growing population of older people and patients with chronic conditions. EHealthcare networks starting to deliver medical services using rapid increases in the number of biomedical sensors, the Internet of Things and advanced communication and network technologies, particularly for remote physical supervision, with the goal of increasing the quality and effectiveness of conventional medical system. The aim is to deliver a healthy and powerful approach to health care using wireless internet network as a transmission and storage mechanism for connecting the patient's devices and the technology in the blockchain. Customers today have various problems with the Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs). Cost performance, low energy consumption, efficient communication of data between nodes and protection are major challenges in WSN. Blockchain is able to solve a variety of WSN problems, including secure data transfers and confidence, etc. In this paper we have done the survey of use of blockchain technology in wireless body area network.
