There are many private hospitals in Oman. Some of the hospitals are having their own web-based applications providing the details of services provided by the hospital and manage appointments done by the patients. However, there is no web-based application which provides a common integrated platform to compare services provided by various hospitals and manage the patient’s consultations with doctors. This research paper is targeted towards integrating services provided by various private hospitals. The prime focus of this research is to design a prototype for web-based application and provide an implementation strategy in developing an integrated solution. This research is intended towards serving the community in Oman by giving the flexibility to the patients in comparing the services of various hospitals with ease and choosing the hospital of their choice by booking appointments easily from their home avoiding long waiting queues in hospitals. The proposed prototype system can also manage the patient’s treatment details and track their medical history.
The rise of connected world is a reality through Internet of Things (IoT) technology and is increasingly changing the way people live, communicate and work. Perhaps, for a continued support to be delivered efficiently and effectively in terms of the services IoT offers, there are some challenges which need attention. This is basically the security aspects pertaining to the data the IoT devices generate, collect and process. In the recent years, blockchain technology gained attention in cutting edge solutions based on securing IoT devices. However, it is observed that adoption of blockchain technology is limited in several countries. The proposed research aims to investigate potential barriers to adopting blockchain technology in smart city applications through a qualitative study. In addition, a stake algorithm to demonstrate the security aspect in IoT device is presented.
