Abstract

In today's dynamic healthcare environment, protecting patient privacy, securing sensitive data, and maintaining the integrity of medical records are more critical than ever. Traditional healthcare systems typically face issues like data breaches, limited accessibility, and outdated record-keeping practices that compromise patient information. Secure Med introduces a transformative solution by leveraging blockchain technology, a decentralized, tamper-resistant infrastructure that ensures data is secure, transparent, and efficiently managed. Patient records are encrypted and distributed across a secure ledger, accessible only to authorized professionals with explicit patient consent. Smart contracts and encryption protocols provide patients with complete control over their medical data. This system enhances data accuracy, real-time accessibility, and impenetrable security, enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and improved decision-making, especially during emergencies. Secure Med thus reinforces the resilience of healthcare systems while empowering individuals to manage their personal data, ensuring privacy and autonomy at every stage of care.

Abstract

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have seen a surge in popularity, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to their ability to enhance educational efficiency and effectiveness. Among LMS features, online exams have become essential for evaluating students' understanding and academic performance, significantly influencing their progression. However, ensuring the transparency and reliability of online exam results is crucial, as vulnerabilities like hacking can negatively affect students' grades. Traditional online exam systems frequently rely on centralized databases such as MySQL, which are prone to unauthorized access and data manipulation. This paper introduces a blockchain based framework designed to securely conduct and evaluate academic exams in a peer-to-peer environment. By leveraging hashing techniques to maintain data integrity and implementing a proof-of-stake mechanism for added security, the framework addresses key vulnerabilities found in conventional systems. Blockchain's decentralized structure and cryptographic hashing of each block provide a robust solution for safeguarding exam data.

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized how devices collect, transmit, and analyze data across diverse domains such as agriculture, healthcare, and smart cities. This paper presents a scalable IoT web application designed for real- time data monitoring, analysis, and cloud integration. The system uses Angular for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and integrates Firebase and InfluxDB for cloud-based data storage. Data from IoT sensors (temperature, motion, humidity) is transmitted through MQTT and WebSocket protocols for low-latency communication. The system supports real-time visualization, threshold-based alerts, and predictive analytics using machine learning models. This solution emphasizes modularity, data security (TLS/SSL encryption and RBAC), and adaptability, making it suitable for high- demand, multi-device environments. Challenges such as device interoperability, latency, and data reliability are addressed through edge computing, event-driven architecture, and sensor calibration. The results confirm strong performance, scalability, and usability, positioning this solution as a robust platform for real-world IoT applications.

Abstract

Traditional systems are typically unreliable and prone to fraud, putting patient safety at risk. To solve these issues, this work proposes a blockchain-based drug tracing system that improves security, trust, and efficiency. This paper examines the use application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), particularly blockchain, to improve drug traceability in the healthcare distribution network. Blockchain technology ensures immutability, transparency, and decentralization, allowing stakeholders to securely track drugs from manufacturing to end-user consumption. Results indicate that blockchain-based supply chains improved drug traceability with an accuracy of up to 92, significantly reducing the risk of counterfeit drug infiltration. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) ensures secure and transparent drug traceability by providing tamper-proof recordkeeping, real-time tracking, and stakeholder verification. This greatly minimizes counterfeit drug risks and strengthens trust in the pharmaceutical distribution network.

Abstract

The Music Tutor initiative is a cloud-enabled, web-based application developed to transform traditional Carnatic music education into a digitally accessible format. Unlike conventional methods that require face-to-face interactions, this platform allows for anytime, anywhere learning by offering students and tutors a shared digital space to interact, practice, and grow musically. Built entirely using React on both frontend and backend components, and utilizing Firebase for its database and authentication services, the system emphasizes real-time responsiveness, user-role segregation, and cloud scalability.
