Blockchain and IoT Technology Adoption Model for Improved Elderly Health Monitoring

Supervision using a real-time system to find out the health conditions of the elderly is very important. The health conditions of the elderly, which naturally continue to decline with age, require greater supervision than those of young people. Monitoring the health conditions of seniors is important for families, doctors, and health insurance. For families, monitoring the health of seniors is proof of love as a form of family relationship. For doctors, monitoring the health of the elderly is important to provide action to maintain the health of the elderly. For insurance companies, health monitoring plays an important role, especially when seniors submit insurance claims. Currently, there is no system that helps monitor elderly health by providing transparent information with a high level of security for the three parties mentioned above. So the problem statement from this research is that it is difficult to obtain transparent and guaranteed security information related to monitoring the health of the elderly. Thus, this research aims to help monitor the health of seniors using blockchain technology and the Internet of Things. The research method uses a qualitative approach by studying conventional elderly health monitoring mechanisms, blockchain technology mechanisms, and internet of things technology. The result of this research is a blockchain and IoT adoption model for monitoring elderly health. The research results are complemented by transaction simulations related to monitoring elderly health.
