Enhancing Cybersecurity in Healthcare Using Blockchain and IoMT-Integrated Framework for Mitigating Emerging Risks

Amidst the rapidly evolving landscape of digital healthcare, integrating blockchain and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) technologies creates new opportunities and challenges. This study compares the RBMCA (Robust Blockchain-based Model for Cloud Architecture) and traditional cloud-based healthcare systems. It demonstrates that the RBMCA model outperforms conventional systems in security metrics. The decentralized, blockchain-integrated architecture of the RBMCA model significantly improves response times, data integrity, and system uptime and effectively mitigates cybersecurity threats. These improvements are crucial in healthcare environments where data accuracy, system reliability, and security are paramount. Using advanced simulation tools and real-world cloud environments, this research highlights the potential of the RBMCA model to transform healthcare data management, providing a robust and scalable solution for challenges posed by the Internet of Medical Things devices and cloud-based infrastructures. The findings indicate that adopting the RBMCA model can significantly enhance healthcare systems’ security, reliability, and efficiency, improving patient outcomes and safer data management practices. Additionally, this research sets the stage for future developments by advocating for the refinement of the RBMCA model to address additional cybersecurity challenges, explore applications beyond healthcare, and integrate emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance cybersecurity further and optimize healthcare delivery.
