Purpose

This study aims to improve health-care quality by integrating diverse sources through a mobile-fog-cloud architecture and a blockchain-enabled deep reinforcement learning (DRL) model.

Design/methodology/approach

The framework combines mobile-fog-cloud architecture with blockchain-enabled DRL to address data security, resource allocation and workflow management. It uses deep learning and blockchain for data validation and secure transactions, supported by a symmetric cryptographic scheme for smart contracts.

Findings

Performance evaluations show significant improvements in resource utilization, reduced delays and enhanced system throughput. The proposed algorithm outperforms existing approaches in simulations.

Originality/value

This research introduces a novel framework that optimizes health-care workflows by combining mobile-fog-cloud architecture with blockchain-enabled DRL, providing a solid foundation for future advancements in intelligent health-care systems. The integration of DRL and blockchain into a lightweight architecture demonstrates strong potential for real-time deployment, providing a promising path toward practical, adaptive and secure IDS and workflow solutions for IoT environments.
