A Review of Smart Contract-Enabled Chronic Disease Using Telemedicine with IoMT: Revolutionizing Healthcare Delivery

Abstract

In traditional healthcare sceneries, real-time patient record monitoring and analyzing information for the prompt diagnosis of chronic illnesses under specific health conditions is an essential procedure. Failure to diagnose chronic diseases promptly can lead to severe consequences, including patient mortality. Regarding disease diagnosis and treatment, wearable device physiological data can be analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI) to produce intelligent recommendations. Contemporary medical and healthcare frameworks leverage Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, utilizing autonomous sensors to monitor and assess patients' health conditions while recommending suitable interventions. This paper introduces an innovative hybrid approach that integrates IoMT and Telemedicine to facilitate the early detection and ongoing monitoring of three distinct chronic diseases, including asthma, brain tumors, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, blockchain can enhance healthcare services by enabling decentralized data exchange, safeguarding user privacy, empowering data, and guaranteeing the dependability of data administration. Blockchain, wearable, and AI integration may improve current chronic illness management paradigms by moving away from hospital-centered care and toward patient-centered care. In this study, we further investigate the use of these integrated technologies in the management of chronic diseases and theoretically provide a patient-centric technical framework based on blockchain, artificial intelligence, and wearable technology.
