Internet of Medical Things and Blockchain-Enabled Patient-Centric Agent through SDN for Remote Patient Monitoring in 5G Network

The integration of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and Blockchain technology in remote patient monitoring via Software Defined Networking (SDN) for 5G networks addresses privacy and security concerns in online healthcare. This framework, featuring a patient-centric agent (PCA) within the SDN control plane, manages user data securely. Leveraging Hyperledger Fabric Network ensures the maintenance of private and public medical data. The proposed architecture enhances information security and enables remote patient monitoring, particularly vital during crises like COVID-19. With its potential to revolutionize healthcare, the framework promises efficient, secure, and scalable remote healthcare monitoring systems, paving the way for future mobile applications to further streamline access to IoMT network services.
