Abstract: With the rise of advanced communication technology, mobile devices, cloud computing, and internet of things (IoT) technology, a significant amount of IoT-assisted healthcare applications have been emerged to improve the human's life quality. Most of the existing works in IoT-assisted healthcare application execution do not consider the energy harvesting, computation task allocation, trust access authentication of users, and quality of service (QoS) requirements satisfaction at the same time by investigating different healthcare users, requirements, energy cost, available cloud, and network resources. To deal with these issues, this paper proposes an intelligent energy harvesting, decentralised blockchain-based authentication, and QoS-aware healthcare task coordination scheme for IoT-assisted healthcare applications by taking into account different users, QoS requirements, resources availability, and resource cost. Simulation results on transaction delay, energy consumption, resource cost, throughput, and system reward are presented to show the significance of the proposed scheme over the conventional schemes.
