摘要

During the last two decades, numerous technological platforms growing in Indian market to facilitate and serve the medical services. In this context, the amalgamation of Wireless Body Area Network (WBANS) and Blockchain technology (BT) has been in high demand and plays a prominent role due to its trends towards efficient use of Electronic Health records in health care industry. This article recommended complete, extensive and comprehensive survey of modern research efforts in conjunction of BT with WBANs in health care domain to secure medical related data and to ensure trustworthy communication over the network in the Indian context. In addition, the paper analyses several controlling techniques’ themes-wise for privacy, security, energy efficiency, authentication, transparency and information sharing among numerous parties (e.g. patient, doctor, nurse and hospital etc.). The article also addresses the capability of blockchain in terms of confidentiality, integrity, availability and scalability over WBAN spaces. Furthermore, the survey recommended India-based real use cases, real adaption barriers under the Indian Digital mission and challenges under the streamline literatures, and futuristic research direction to design efficient and secure wireless system model that could be integrated with modernized healthcare environment using blockchain technique.
