Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for a wearables-based Internet-of-Things service in an edge-computed blockchain network. In one embodiment, a system is disclosed for an Internet-of-Things wearables-based emergency healthcare service, comprising at least one hardware processor; and at least one memory device storing instructions executable by the at least one hardware processor to perform operations. The operations comprise receiving, at a node of a virtual distributed ledger technology network, a call from a wearable device associated with a patient; executing a first microservice to request an emergency service for the patient; executing a second microservice to obtain consent for data transfer of patient data related to the patient across the virtual distributed ledger technology network; requesting the patient data from a memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network; and transmitting the patient data through the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for an Internet-of-Things wearables-based emergency healthcare service using a virtual distributed ledger technology network, the system comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
at least one memory device storing instructions executable by the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, at a node of a virtual distributed ledger technology network, a call from a wearable device associated with a patient;
executing a first microservice to request an emergency service for the patient;
executing a second microservice to obtain consent for data transfer of patient data related to the patient across the virtual distributed ledger technology network;
requesting the patient data from a memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network;
transmitting the patient data through the virtual distributed ledger technology network; and
committing an outcome of the execution of the second microservice to obtain the consent for the data transfer of the patient data to a distributed ledger associated with a different virtual distributed ledger technology network.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the call is received via an edge server.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first microservice is configured to request an ambulance for the patient, the at least one memory device further storing instructions executable by the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
committing an outcome of the execution of the first microservice to request the emergency service to a distributed ledger associated with the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second microservice is configured to obtain the consent for the data transfer through the wearable device associated with the patient.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second microservice is a smart contract execution microservice configured to execute a smart contract to obtain pre-authorized consent from the memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

6. The system of claim 1 , the at least one memory device further storing instructions executable by the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
executing a third smart contract execution microservice configured to execute a smart contract to process insurance related to emergency services provided to the patient; and
committing an outcome of the execution of the third smart contract execution microservice to a distributed ledger associated with the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

7. A method for an Internet-of-Things wearables-based emergency healthcare service using a virtual distributed ledger technology network, the method comprising:
receiving, via at least one hardware processor, a call from a wearable device associated with a patient at a node of a virtual distributed ledger technology network;
executing, via the at least one hardware processor, a first microservice to request an emergency service for the patient;
executing, via the at least one hardware processor, a second microservice to obtain consent for data transfer of patient data related to the patient across the virtual distributed ledger technology network;
requesting, via the at least one hardware processor, the patient data from a memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network;
transmitting, via the at least one hardware processor, the patient data through the virtual distributed ledger technology network; and
committing, via the at least one hardware processor, an outcome of the execution of the second microservice to obtain the consent for the data transfer of the patient data to a distributed ledger associated with a different virtual distributed ledger technology network.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the call is received via an edge server.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first microservice is configured to request an ambulance for the patient, the method further comprising:
committing, via the at least one hardware processor, an outcome of the execution of the first microservice to request the emergency service to a distributed ledger associated with the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second microservice is configured to obtain the consent for the data transfer through the wearable device associated with the patient.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second microservice is a smart contract execution microservice configured to execute a smart contract to obtain pre-authorized consent from the memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

12. The method of claim 7 , the method further comprising:
executing, via the at least one hardware processor, a third smart contract execution microservice configured to execute a smart contract to process insurance related to emergency services provided to the patient; and
committing, via the at least one hardware processor, an outcome of the execution of the third smart contract execution microservice to a distributed ledger associated with the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for an Internet-of-Things wearables-based emergency healthcare service using a virtual distributed ledger technology network, the instructions executable by at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via the at least one hardware processor, a call via an edge server from a wearable device associated with a patient at a node of a virtual distributed ledger technology network;
executing, via the at least one hardware processor, a first microservice to request an emergency service for the patient;
executing, via the at least one hardware processor, a second microservice to obtain consent for data transfer of patient data related to the patient across the virtual distributed ledger technology network;
requesting, via the at least one hardware processor, the patient data from a memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network;
transmitting, via the at least one hardware processor, the patient data through the virtual distributed ledger technology network; and
committing, via the at least one hardware processor, an outcome of the execution of the second microservice to obtain the consent for the data transfer of the patient data to a distributed ledger associated with a different virtual distributed ledger technology network.

14. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the first microservice is configured to request an ambulance for the patient, the medium further storing instructions executable by the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
committing, via the at least one hardware processor, an outcome of the execution of the first microservice to request the emergency service to a distributed ledger associated with the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

15. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the second microservice is configured to obtain the consent for the data transfer through the wearable device associated with the patient.

16. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the second microservice is a smart contract execution microservice configured to execute a smart contract to obtain pre-authorized consent from the memory external to the virtual distributed ledger technology network.

17. The medium of claim 13 , the medium further storing instructions executable by the at least one hardware pr
