Abstract
In recent days, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is commonly employed in different aspects of healthcare applications. Owing to the increasing necessitates of IoT, a huge amount of sensing data is collected from distinct IoT gadgets. To investigate the generated data, artificial intelligence (AI) models plays an important role to achieve scalability and accurate examination in real-time environment. However, the characteristics of IoMT result in certain design challenges, namely, security and privacy, resource limitation, and inadequate training data. At the same time, blockchain, an upcoming technology, has offered a decentralized architecture, which gives secured data transmission and resources to distinct nodes of the IoT environment and is stimulated for eliminating centralized management and eliminates the challenges involved in it. This paper designs deep learning (DL) with blockchain-assisted secure image transmission and diagnosis model for the IoMT environment. The presented model comprises a few processes namely data collection, secure transaction, hash value encryption, and data classification. Primarily, elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is applied, and the optimal key generation of ECC takes place using hybridization of grasshopper with fruit fly optimization (GO-FFO) algorithm. Then, the neighborhood indexing sequence (NIS) with burrow wheeler transform (BWT), called NIS-BWT, is employed to encrypt the hash values. At last, a deep belief network (DBN) is utilized for the classification process to diagnose the existence of disease. An extensive experimental validation takes place to determine the analysis of the optimal results of the presented model, and the results are investigated under diverse aspects.
