Archipelago: A Medical Distributed Storage System for Interconnected Health

With the development of the Internet and personal wearable devices, people pay more attention to the storage and application of wearable device data, which also brings more challenges. Personal health data stored in the clouds has the risk of privacy leakage. Also, health data of individuals, community clinics, and hospitals are all information islands. In this article, we design a system named Archipelago. Archipelago makes it possible to connect individuals, community clinics (or family doctors), and hospitals to share the information. In Archipelago, we use the method based on system information perception to segment data and decide the location of block location, making full use of nodes with different storage capacity and performance. Through the data-sharing mechanism and the seamless connection between the doctor-patient, the mutual diagnosis treatment system and the medical ecosystem is realized.
