Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Blockchain-Based E-Health for Safer Decision Making Framework

Abstract

Machine learning-based (ML) systems are becoming the primary means of achieving the highest levels of productivity and effectiveness. Incorporating other advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), or e-Health systems, has made ML the first choice to help automate systems and predict future events. The execution environment of ML is always presenting contrasting types of threats, such as adversarial poisoning of training datasets or model parameters manipulation. Blockchain technology is known as a decentralized network of blocks that symbolizes means of protecting block content integrity and ensuring secure execution of operations.Existing studies partially incorporated Blockchain into the learning process. This paper proposes a more extensive secure way to protect the decision process of the learning model. Using smart contracts, this study executed the model’s decision by the reversal engineering of the learning model’s decision function from the extracted learning parameters. We deploy Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) classifiers decision functions on-chain for more comprehensive integration of Blockchain. The effectiveness of this proposed approach is measured by applying a case study of medical records. In a safe environment, SVM prediction scores were found to be higher than MLP. However, MLP had higher time efficiency.

A Blockchain-Based Incentive Mechanism for Sharing Cyber Threat Intelligence

“…Since the data on the blockchain cannot be tampered with, the cryptocurrency or virtual points obtained by organizations or individuals participating in the sharing will be recorded intact, faithfully reflecting the contribution and consumption of each participating member. A smart contract is a computer program stored on the blockchain that is automatically executed when pre-defined trigger conditions are met [19,20]. Unlike real contracts, the execution of a smart contract does not require the participation or supervision of a trusted third party; the content of the contract cannot be changed and can be executed automatically when the trigger conditions are met.…”

An Overview of the Evolution and Impact of Chatbots in Modern Healthcare Services

“…The development of hospital and medical clinic systems has led to improved diagnosis and timely treatment. The healthcare sector works in parallel with technology and artificial intelligence techniques [5][6][7]. This development has significantly improved the healthcare environment and increased the number of electronic services provided to patients.…”
