Solar energy based blockchain enabled health care monitoring using IoT

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) tends to transform our lives and make it more comfortable is an auspicious technology in which the heterogeneous devices having embedded sensors are connected to a single platform and these devices can then interact witheach other.Asthedemand for IoT is increasing there is a need to connect enormous number of smart devices with each other. One of the major applications of IoT is smart health care. It involves numerous health sensors which collect dataandtransferittoclouds.This requires huge amount of data to be transferred between devices, large connectivity, high security,andprivacy.Another thing is all these sensing devices havelimitedlifetime.So,there is a need to provide constant power supply to all the IoT devices. Also, the demand for energy has increased exponentially and to satisfy our wants non renewable resources are being sacrificed. Thesenumberofchallenges are needed to be considered to complete our vision of global connectivity using IoT. So, to overcome all these challengeswe have proposed a method in which solar energy is used to provide power supply to the sensors and for ensuring security of data blockchain can be used. In this paper we are measuring the body temperature using DHT11 sensor and heart rate using Pulse meter sensor. Then we have interfaced the NodeMCU and sensors with the IoT platform. In our case we have used the Thingspeak as our IoT platform. The data of each sensor has been uploaded on the field ofourchannelwith every time stamp. So that user as well as doctor can see the condition of the patient. For ensuring securityofdata,wehave proposed one block diagram which shows how blockchaincan be used for storing data. Also, the power supply is given to NodeMCU through energy generated by solar panel.

1. INTRODUCTION

Rural health is the main issue in India, especially in developingcountrieswherethereisabroadurbandisparity intheprovisionofmedicalcare,wheretherearemorethan halfa percentageofthepopulationinrural areas.Inrural areas, the infrastructure is inadequate and inadequate. In these areas. In these areas. Furthermore, diagnostic equipmentissetupandmaintainedcostlyanddemanding. Most people die of preventable diseases such as diarrhea, whicharecurable,thetyphoidandmeasles.Thenumberof people without essential access is about 1.7 billion in medicines.Intheruralhealthsector,themajorproblemsare low wages, lack of education and restricted access to

servicesbyvillagepeople.Severalotherinnovationstomap thevital signsofthehuman body werecreatedin the last decade.Vitalsignsarethebody'smostcalculatedfunctions of profound significance. The four key indicators that medical practitioners and health professionals regularly track are body temperature, pulsation, respiration, rate, Bloodpressure,saturationlevelofbloodoxygen.

Withtheincreaseintechnologicaladvancementsintoday’s era healthcare has also seen a rapid transformation from traditionalhospitalstodistributedpatientcentricapproach. ThisbecamepossibleduetoemergingtechnologieslikeIoT, communicationtechnologiesandblockchainetc.IoTisthe connectionofdevicestoasingleplatformi.e.,internet.IoT has made human’s life easier and comfortable.

Due to this smart healthcare is gaining more attention because with the help of IoT treatment can be given to patienteverytime,anytimeandanywhere.Inonestudyit wassaidthat27%ofthetotaldeathshappeninIndiawith nomedicalattentionatthetimeofdeath.Accordingtothe LancetMedicaljournal3.6milliondeathstookplaceallover theworldduetolackofhealthcareaccess.Therearevillages wherepeoplestilldon’thaveaccesstohealthcarefacilities.

The architecture consists of transceiver, processingunitandantennaformonitoringpatient’shealth. The data is then transferred to gateway devices and from there to doctor for monitoring purpose. In case any emergency arises then patient can be alerted. The disadvantage of this architecture is the battery charge optimizationandlifetimeextensionofthewearabledevice.
