Blockmcu: Wireless Body Sensor Data Protection System For Health Care Objective

The document proposes the BlockMCU system, a private blockchain used to manage access to health records stored off the blockchain. It aims to give patients control over their medical data by enabling them to share a single, comprehensive record across their medical network. The system collects health data from wearable devices and providers, uploading hashed data to the blockchain for integrity protection. This addresses weaknesses in existing systems like reliance on cloud services and lack of data privacy. Key advantages of BlockMCU include decentralization for improved security and lower costs, secure access to health data from any device, and an immutable blockchain ledger combined with privacy-preserving APIs.

BlockMCU: Wireless Body Sensor Data Protection System for Health Care

Objective
Our aim is to put the patient in control of their medical data, giving them the power to share the
single, most comprehensive version of their record, with every organization in their medical
network.
Abstract
In today’s digital society, everyone is concerned about the privacy and security of their data,
especially in health care. So we need more transparency in medical information to protect
patients’ privacy and reduce possible security breaches. People nowadays are faking their health
status and problems to claim health insurance while some also fake medical cases to claim
fraudulent benefits. These cases, when taken to court, become complicated due to the lack of
judicial system assertions. The motivation of this project is to design a medical data sharing
scheme based on blockchain. It is helpful to the storage, management, and sharing of the medical
data. The scheme should satisfy the security requirements in medical data sharing schemes. A
lightweight medical data sharing and protection model is proposed, the model could make data
sharing among doctors from different hospitals. The stored medical information is very secure
and could not be easily tampered since they are stored in the blockchain. An improved consensus
mechanism is proposed by improving the traditional delegated proof of stake. It is secure,
reliable, and efficient. Blockchain enables the sharing of information on a secure, tamper-proof,
and immutable platform. Nothing can be tampered with or fraudulently conveyed in the
Blockchain ledger. Once the record is saved, it is easily verifiable, stays in the system, and is
easily accessible.
Existing System
 Encryption and Decryption algorithm on server side
 MedRec
System based on blockchain was proposed to handle EHR
 MeDShare
Which is based on blockchain and has minimal data privacy risks. It is used to solve the problem
of medical data sharing among healthcare big data custodians (e.g., cloud service providers) in
the untrusted environment.

Disadvantages
 The two schemes have the weaknesses of the cloud since they still need the assistance of
the cloud.
 Lack of data privacy and the absence of robust security
 Blockchain is based on opensource software and Open API’s
 Less efficiency
 Lack of trust between providers.

Proposed System
Our proposal involves the use of a private blockchain as BlockMCU its works as an access-
control manager to health records that are stored off blockchain. For health data collected from
both wearable devices and healthcare providers, each of the hashed data entry is uploaded to the
blockchain network for integrity protection.

Advantages
 Decentralization-Distributed data model improves security, lowers costs.
 Applyingthe blockchainapproachto healthdata guaranteessecureaccess from anywhereon
anydevice
 The Blockchain ledger is the secure, non-editable record
 Privacy preserving data processing API
