Abstract
The blockchain concept is already gaining traction in the healthcare industry, with significant ramifications. According to reports, IoT-based healthcare technologies are shifting the healthcare industry's focus from hospitals to patients. A recent development uses shared data to communicate, identify, and treat people with skin diseases: Intelligent Skin Monitoring Systems based on the Internet of Things (IoT). It is possible to equip healthcare vehicles with skin and image sensors to measure the care given to those who live in rural locations or have limited access to medical institutions. Conversely, divulging sensitive information through a network threatens the security and privacy of medical and personal data. It's a huge difficulty to provide security and privacy without jeopardising the trust of a trustworthy third party. Another significant issue is the safe storage of vast amounts of medical data. These problems can be resolved by using IPFS in conjunction with blockchain technology. In order to securely share medical transactions and verify individuals with skin diseases in a distributed setting, the study suggests a hybrid blockchain and IPFS-based solution. The work presented here provides a safer framework for interacting with IPFS transactions. The goal is to develop a system that is low-cost, high-efficiency, and secure.
