A Novel Detection, Prevention and Management Proactive System of Patients Chronic Disease Based on IoT, Blockchain, AI and Digital Twin

Chronic diseases (Diabetes, Asthma, Cancer…), by their complications, generate a large share of deaths and infirmities, each year, in the world. To monitor and anticipate potentially fatal crises resulting from such diseases and act to reduce or even cancel the impact, we are proposing hereby a system of three parts: Internet of Things (IoT) objects (low power sensors or actuators), attached to a human body; a blockchain and digital twins. IoT objects, measure, among other things, vital signs such as blood pressure, body temperature,…; or act. They exchange data and/or instructions via the smartphone with the medical blockchain. By these means, the evolution of vital signs towards a critical state challenges the doctors/Artificial Intelligence (AI) connected to the blockchain to act in time and send instructions to an actuator, attached to the patient, if there is one, a message to the patient or to the Emergency Service (EMS) to provide him with effective assistance, by using the digital twin for geolocation. Similarly, the results from the laboratories frequented by the patient are processed. In short, the blockchain, trusted third party of our ecosystem, connecting patients, doctors, laboratories, EMSs, pharmacies, an AI and digital twins; by monitoring the said indicators; predicts a probable crisis, informs the patient or his family of the measures to be taken and acts by issuing prescriptions, administering remedies and/or alerting the responders for action in the field.
