Modernizing Healthcare Data Management: A Fusion of Mobile Agents and Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology and machine learning have each demonstrated their utility independently. However, their combination on different platforms often leads to enhanced applications with substantial benefits for the medical industry. Consequently, numerous blockchain applications are proving advantageous on a large scale within the medical domain. Blockchain technology, operating on a highly secure and decentralized networking platform, functions through a peer-to-peer Internet-based protocol. Presently, it has also been integrated with Internet-based applications such as mobile agent technology. Mobile agent technology operates on the principles of communication networks, allowing agents to move seamlessly between different locations through network connections. In this chapter, blockchain technology and mobile agents have been synergistically employed to process and access medical domain-related information within a shared network. The proposed approach facilitates the processing and access of heterogeneous healthcare data within a cloud platform. The primary objective of this research is to ensure the security and seamless access of patient information, even within unstable communication environments, in order to prevent losses and errors. This proposed architecture holds significant potential for the medical industry and healthcare specialists alike.
