Effective influence of Community Pharmacists in Public Health Using Blockchain Technology to Secure Patient Data and Enhance Healthcare Delivery

The advent of healthcare delivery drones, a novel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), has opened the door to a more comprehensive approach to developing smart health services. Internet of Things (IoT)-based healthcare delivery via UAVs has not been fully realized because of a lack of augmentation-aware concepts. Despite community pharmacists' strong clinical expertise and ease of patient access, they cannot provide comprehensive clinical services due to a lack of access to patient data. Blockchain could be a solution if it's concerned about the reliability and security of drone deliveries over untrusted open channels. Hence, this study proposes the Internet of Things and Blockchain Technology-assisted Drone Healthcare Delivery System (IoT-BT-DHDS) for enhancing access to healthcare information in the community pharmacy environment. Ensuring the security of drone operations is crucial to protect users from any breaches that might result in physical and financial loss. This research suggests an oT-BT-DHDS that authenticates and registers the involved entities, such as objects (healthcare supplies), warehouses (healthcare centres), and drones, to address these security concerns and make the delivery progression visible. This research achieves its goals by analyzing several parameters that impact the time and number of transactions required for authentication on the Ethereum platform, which is used to build smart contracts and blockchain. The suggested strategy is shown to be effective by results acquired from a simulated environment compared to alternative models based on an access control ratio of 98.9%, data management ratio of 97.4% and resource utilization ratio of 96.4% to other existing models.
