Blockchain applications in healthcare have grown rapidly. They include record-keeping, clinical trials, medical supply chains, patient monitoring, etc., where blockchain characteristics are needed to improve safety, privacy, and security. Blockchain technology is one of the most significant disruptive technologies today. However, Porru et al. reported that it lacks processes, tools, and techniques. Therefore, this paper provides a systematic framework for a secure and sustainable software engineering framework for healthcare blockchain applications (SEF-HBCA). SEF-HBCA is a significant contribution that includes requirements engineering for healthcare, business process modeling for healthcare, domain modeling for healthcare, a reference architecture for healthcare, and validation by a case study on electronic healthcare record management system (EHR), and simulation with business process modeling notation (BPMN) tools. The simulation shows it has taken 10.45 min to process 100 instances of real-time data and service requests. The overall result shows encouragement regarding process, tools, standards, and testing.

Article Synopsis
- Streaming IoT data is crucial for building trust in sustainable IoT solutions, but current systems often face issues with reliability, security, and transparency due to their centralized structures.
- The research introduces TraVel, a framework that uses blockchain and transfer learning to improve the security of IoT data management, utilizing decentralized IPFS for data storage and a private Ethereum blockchain for enhanced data integrity.
- TraVel implements self-executing smart contracts for access control and uses an adversarial domain adaptation model to filter out malicious data, ensuring only validated data is stored, with successful performance shown in simulations.
