Abstract
The healthcare system is one of the most important segments of the modern society. The support of cost effective and reliable digital solutions, can enhance the health of the patients and improve the healthcare system as a whole. The evolution of the eHealth systems shows immense benefits from implementation of modern technologies (e.g. smartphones, 3G and 4G networks, IoT sensor networks) improving quality of life and increasing comfort. One of the last technological breakthrough, the Blockchain technology, is promising even better improvements in eHealth systems by enhancing the privacy and security protection, easing the usability of the IoT devices, predicting potential hazardous illnesses and leveraging the comfort of living. This paper proposes a generic framework for a novel eHealth system based on the Blockchain technology that complements the development of the future 5G services.
