18 Converging Blockchain and Machine Learning For Healthcare
The power of machine learning in understanding the patterns in data, analyzing and
making decisions, has shown its importance in various sectors. Machine Learning
requires reasonable amount of data to make accurate decisions. Data sharing and
reliability of data is very crucial in machine learning in order to improve its
accuracy. The decentralized database in Blockchain Technology emphasizes on
data sharing. The consensus in Blockchain technology makes sure that data is
legitimate and secured. The convergence of these two technologies can give highly
accurate results in terms of machine learning with the security and reliability of
Blockchain Technology. This paper gives an overview of how combining these
two technologies can help in healthcare sectors.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
Blockchain Technology got recognition from Bitcoin cryptocurrency which was
described in Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper in 2008. This can be explained as, if
someone in the blockchain network initiates a transaction. The transaction will be
broadcasted in the P2P network called as nodes. The nodes will validate the
transaction. If the transaction gets verified, it will be combined with other valid
transaction to form a block. The block is marked with previous block’s hash and
timestamp and will be added to the existing blockchain. The block is permanent
and unaltered. It has no problem of single point of failure and there is no central
server to manage the network.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM:
As the growing needs, the data increased and data are stored in centralized
servers. The data in these centralized servers are released at a fee.
This limits the quality of research. The centralized server also faces the
failure issues and hence the reliability of data suffers.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
Blockchain Technology has gone far beyond Bitcoins. Healthcare is one of its
application areas. The proposed system was based on bitcoins approach was
meeting information customer’s need and protecting patient’s privacy. In this
proposal if the information customer needs to see the record of the patient then
they have to pay fee with bitcoins. The disadvantage of this is misuse of patient’s
record and paying fees every time makes it difficult in terms of cost. The research
took a turn from Public Blockchain Network to Private Blockchain Networks. In
healthcare, many parties have to access same information.
ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM:
Blockchain comes with decentralized database without compromising on
data reliability.
The data is accessible to users easily in decentralized database.
Blockchain technology is a distributed network of interconnected nodes
All the nodes have the copy of distributed ledger which has the details of
every single transaction in the Blockchain network.
Data can be directly fed into machine learning models. Blockchain has
shown its adaptability and capability beyond financial sectors.
