Noncommunicable diabetes is a serious worldwide health issue. Diabetes is one of the main causes of many other severe conditions or lifestyle modifications, including coronary artery occlusions, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers etc. Patients with diabetic foot ulcers find it very challenging to carry out basic motor functions such as walking, which has a substantial influence on their everyday activities. The following chapter discusses a remote monitoring system that aims to detect and manage diabetic foot ulcers and the subsequent chain of problems caused by the ulcers. The smart assistive device or implant can be used to detect and predict the upcoming or existing medical condition of the patient. The function of the device is based on the dielectric constant dispersion which was initially generated by the body along with the variance of the current in different organ systems of the human body to absorb maximum antenna radiation generated. The continuous systemic measurement of Pressure, Temperature, Nerve activity, Blood flow and Glucose levels of the individual by the proposed clinical house-managed device are the key parameters to determine the chances of forming foot ulcers or any other diabetic-related complications. The industrial healthcare system has made it possible to implement real-time patient monitoring and has improved the standard of living for diabetes patients. However, the connectivity creates inherent risks for the security and privacy of patient health data across an insecure public network. Motivated by the aforementioned difficulties, we used Blockchain and smart contracts to develop a reliable data transfer system.
