Feature Article: Blockchain Technology to Combat COVID-19 Private Blockchain-Based AI-Envisioned Home Monitoring Framework in IoMT-Enabled COVID-19 Environment Basudeb Bera, Ankush Mitra, and Ashok Kumar Das International Institute of Information Technology Deepak Puthal Newcastle University YoungHo Park Kyungpook National University Abstract-Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is a very serioushealth concern to the human life throughout theworld. The Internet ofMedical Things (IoMT) allows us to deploy several wearable Internet of Things-enabledsmart devices in a patient's body. The deployedsmart devicesshould then securelycommunicate to nearbymobile devices installed in asmart home, whichthen securelycommunicate with the associated fog server for information processing. The processed information in termsof transactions are formed as blocksandput into a private blockchain consisting of cloud servers. Since the patient's vital signs are very confidential and private,weapply the private blockchain. This article makes utilization of fogcomputing and blockchain technologysimultaneously tocomeup withmore secure systemin an IoMT-enabledCOVID-19 situation for patients' home Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MCE.2021.3137104 Date ofpublication 21 December 2021; date ofcurrent version 8 April 2023. 62 2162-2248 ß 2021 IEEE Published by the IEEE Consumer Technology Society IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine
