Smart and secure medical device gateway for managing patient recovery
Patients recuperating from orthopedic surgery require frequent monitoring and hospital visits with a wealth of personal
medical data generated both on and off-site, making it challenging to maintain records. This paper discusses a secure
blockchain-based data management software to enable safe remote access without compromising patient information. The
BlockTrack software developed at our group will be customized to interface with modules for orthopedic recuperation
monitoring. Modules can consist of ultrasonic bone health monitoring sensors, connected to relay nodes that can transmit
patient data to the BlockTrack mobile app, which then intercepts the information to be stored securely on a cloud-based
Blockchain network. Each record will have a unique ID enabled by Blockchain, for secure access and review of patient
information by other parties, including doctors and pharmacists. Key findings are discussed with a goal to further develop
this solution
