A Simulation Model of a Blockchain-Based Decentralized Patient Information Exchange System for Parkinson’s Disease Patients

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of slow progress of the nervous system produced by the absence of levels of dopamine, which can incite unrestrained instinctive movements of the body and psychological affections. For the development of a practical, low-cost, and general diagnosis s...

description Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive disorder of slow progress of the nervous system produced by the absence of levels of dopamine, which can incite unrestrained instinctive movements of the body and psychological affections. For the development of a practical, low-cost, and general diagnosis system of the symptoms to support PD patients, the implementation of an IoT health monitoring system that uses smartphones for data collection is necessary. However, data can be processed in Cloud Computing (CC) for analysis and comparison, but to reduce the latency of retrieving data from sensitive applications, Fog Computing (FC) plays a vital role. Nevertheless, these technologies IoT, CC, and FC have several limitations and are vulnerable to security threats. Blockchain technology enhances IoT challenges in a network in terms of security and availability. This chapter implemented a Decentralized IoT Fog-based Solutions and Blockchain using Ethereum Smart Contract for the authentication system. The smart contract is programmed using Solidity to allow Things to communicate with each other automatically without intermediaries and to store data in a public/private blockchain. The validation of the system was simulated them using the simulations tools Cisco Packet Tracer, iFogSim, and Remix Ethereum. The obtained results proved the feasibility of the proposed system.
