Medical Cyber-Physical Systems Enabled with Permissioned Blockchain

Global health security concerns have gained vast importance in recent times with outbreak of COVID-19. Today, the growing interdependence among countries and states has effected into accelerated growth of pandemics. A global need for rugged medical systems on a common platform is deemed today. Pandemics will not stop, they will resurrect again, they will happen irrespective till such times the medical world attains a disease less world in future. But till then, we can attempt to decelerate the pandemics growth enabled with new generation technologies. Medical cyber-physical systems are marred by a number of challenges and this paper proposes a model to negate these identified challenges enabled on multichain blockchain platform that imparts peculiar blockchain characteristics to the network of effected systems. The proposed model also enables to share encrypted data on select blockchain nodes granted defined access controls with proven encryption algorithms.
