A Blockchain-Based Framework for Secure Healthcare Data Transfer and Disease Diagnosis Using FHM C-Means and LCK-CMS Neural Network

IoT-based blockchain technology has improved the healthcare system to ensure the privacy and security of healthcare data. A Blockchain Bridge (BB) is a tool that enables multiple blockchain networks to communicate with each other. The existing approach combining the classical and quantum blockchain models failed to secure the data transmission during cross-chain communication. Thus, this study proposes a new BB verification for secure healthcare data transfer. Additionally, a brain tumor analysis framework is developed based on segmentation and neural networks. After the patient’s registration on the blockchain network, Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data is encrypted using Hash-Keyed Quantum Cryptography and verified using a Peer-to-Peer Exchange model. The Brain MRI is preprocessed for brain tumor detection using the Fuzzy HaMan C-Means (FHMCM) segmentation technique. The features are extracted from the segmented image and classified using the LeCun Kaiming-based Convolutional ModSwish Neural Network (LCK-CMSNN) classifier. Subsequently, the brain tumor diagnosis report is securely transferred to the patient via a smart contract. The proposed model verified BB with a Verification Time (VT) of 12,541 ms, secured the input with a Security level (SL) of 98.23%, and classified the brain tumor with 99.15% accuracy, thus showing better performance than the existing models.
