Abstract
The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare sector has shown to be a promising solution to reduce the workload of doctors and provide better service to patients. However, shared data may be subject to theft or misuse due to the security issues on various devices. Moreover, transparency among stakeholders, confidentiality, and micropayments need to be addressed. The objective of this work is to use federated learning over blockchain data generated from IoT devices with the usage of zero-knowledge proof or confidential transactions. The proposed architecture ensures the user a level of privacy set by them while making sure of sharing relevant insights with the concerned parties.
