ABSTRACT

This study proposes a personalized Digital-Health monitoring system based on unobtrusive sensing technology and blockchain to address the increasing elderly population and chronic disease patients. The system overcomes the limitations of conventional hospital-centered episodic care by continuously collecting real-time biometric signals (such as blood glucose, blood pressure, and ECG) through wearable sensors, providing personalized health management services. Data is transmitted via wireless communication technologies like BLE and NB-IoT, and a private blockchain based on Hyperledger Fabric is employed to ensure data integrity and security. Smart contracts automate patient access control, alert notifications, and emergency responses while protecting patient privacy. This system enhances the effectiveness of personalized medical services, ensures transparency and reliability of medical data, and facilitates information exchange among healthcare providers. Ultimately, it aims to establish a sustainable chronic disease management framework, contributing to improved patient quality of life and healthcare innovation.
