Integrating IoT and Blockchain-Enabled Device-to-Device Communication to Improve Privacy in Intelligent Quarantine Environments
Shams Tabrez Siddiqui · 2023
The exponential progress of Internet of Things (IoT) technology has resulted in the emergence of groundbreaking solutions across diverse industries, such as healthcare and quarantine management. In the realm of global health crises, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the successful execution of efficient quarantine protocols assumes paramount importance. The objective of this research paper is to examine the potential integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wireless sensors, and blockchain technology in order to establish a Smart Quarantine Environment (SQE). The SQE aims to improve privacy, security, and efficiency in the management of quarantine protocols. By analyzing the existing literature and exploring relevant case studies, this paper seeks to provide insights into the feasibility and benefits of implementing such a system. The utilization of IoT devices and wireless sensors enables the facilitation of real-time monitoring and data collection. This approach is supported by the integration of blockchain technology, which ensures data integrity, transparency, and user control. By addressing concerns related to privacy and security, this combination of technologies enhances the overall effectiveness of the system.
