With the development of technology, great developments have occurred in the healthcare area, as in every field. Over time, many solutions have been proposed for the processing of electronic health data. As a fact, there are critical factors that should be considered under these developments. This information in the field of electronic health is demanded both by some harmful organizations and people. In addition, there is an extensive market for these informations. Therefore, in electronic health data systems, the privacy of the patient, the executability of the system, and its protection against attacks are milestone requirements. One of the methods offered to provide these security measures is the blockchain technology. Many theoretical and practical blockchain-based studies have been achieved for preserving electronic health data. In this thesis, a blockchain based medical survey system is proposed to achieve the data integrity. The system is implemented on the Algorand blockchain and its steps are given. We also do the benchmark of the proposed system in terms of time and memory usage.

Adoption factors of health monitoring systems for smart healthcare: a systematic review Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (null; 2019-04-13) Although there have been several studies that focus on technical aspects of health monitoring systems, adoption of these systems remains largely unknown. A limited number of researches has explored the factors influencing users adoption of these systems that provide successful system implementation. In this study, we reviewed articles addresses the adoption of health monitoring systems. We extract criteria that influence the adoption decision that has been made at some stage to use health monitoring system...
Sharing electronic healthcare records across country borders Yüksel, Mustafa; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) Today, the application of information and communication technologies to healthcare is on the agenda of many countries. The main aim is to make Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) of a patient accessible anywhere at any time to all authorized users. This is even valid in the cross-border case; the European Commission has published eHealth interoperability recommendations to the EU Member States, in which the RIDE Project contributed, for the purpose of an interoperable European Health Network. Interoperable ...
An agent-based alert distribution system for intelligent healthcare monitoring Akçay, Buğrahan; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Computer Engineering (2006) With the high-level developments in the information technologies, there is a big movement in the e-health area both to give better healthcare services and to reduce cost. Monitoring the patients from their home location is one of the important branches of e-health with the aging societies. In this work, an agentbased alert system is introduced which analyzes the alert message requests and sends the alert messages within the appropriate structure and communication channel to the related healthcare user. A gu...
Blockchain Technology in Smart City: A New Opportunity for Smart Environment and Smart Mobility Orecchini, F.; Santiangeli, A.; Zuccari, F.; Pieroni, Alessandra; Suppa, Tiziano (2019-01-01) The main and challenging evolutionary process that leads towards the so-called Smarter City is still represented by the optimization of the Intelligent Systems for the Quality of Life (QoL) and the Quality of Services (QoS), and by the integration of heterogeneous IT services and different networks. The scientific interest in this field consists of promoting innovative solutions by use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) able to collect, analyse and obtain value added from a large amount of da...
Usability evaluation of mobile information and communications technology in health care Akbaşoğlu, Beyza; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Health Informatics (2013) Technology plays an increasingly important role in modern health care. This thesis presents an approach to usability evaluation of mobile information and communications technologies designed for diabetes patients’ use in their daily lives. According to our study conducted on 60 diabetes patients, several important findings were obtained. Fifty nine (98.3%) diabetes patients were highly satisfied with the mobile health technology and expressed that they would use it, and found the measured values reliable. F...
