Machine learning for effective EHR management in blockchain-cloud integration

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Machine learning (ML) techniques have gained prominence in effectively managing Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems within the context of blockchain-cloud integration. This study presents a hybrid Machine Learning approach that combines logistic regression (LR) and random forest (RF) techniques for EHR management, leveraging the data stored in a blockchain-cloud integrated system. The tamper-resistant nature of blockchain ensures the authenticity and security of the stored patient information, serving as a reliable source for learning. The proposed LR+RF model is evaluated against other algorithms, considering various performance metrics. The analysis reveals that the LR+RF model achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 98.37%, indicating its efficacy in accurately classifying EHR data and facilitating effective management. Furthermore, the study compares the performance of blockchain-cloud-based decentralized storage with blockchain-based storage and peer-to-peer storage in terms of latency and throughput. The results demonstrate that the blockchain-cloud integrated decentralized storage surpasses other storage methods, achieving an average throughput of 6.8 units and a latency of 4.7 units. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed LR+RF model for EHR management within a blockchain-cloud integrated environment. The use of blockchain as a secure storage environment ensures the integrity of patient information, while Machine Learning techniques enhance the accuracy of classification.
