Kamalendu Pal · Advances in medical technologies and clinical practice book series · 2022
Over the last few years, the world has witnessed a fast-paced digital transformation in many aspects of human life in healthcare owing to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Business and service providers had to adapt to digital changes quickly to overcome containment challenges and survive in an ever-changing world. Healthcare-related data collection, preservation, and analysis using digital technologies are helping pandemic mitigation strategies. With the rapid development of virtual systems integration methods and data acquisition techniques, digital twin (DT) technology is ushering in a new dawn for modern healthcare services and information systems. However, IoT-based information systems are vulnerable to privacy and security-related issues. This chapter presents an information system framework that consists of IoT with blockchain technology to mitigate vulnerability issues using lightweight cryptography.
