Digital healthcare services have become an integral part of our lives. There is an increasing number of healthcare professionals and patients using medical wearables for diagnosis and treatment, which simplifies and improves the diagnostic and therapeutic process. However, inappropriate use of medical data may result in the disclosure of private patient information. For protecting patients' privacy when using medical wearables, we propose a new blockchain-based data access security scheme. Specifically, the elliptic curve encryption algorithm and zero-knowledge authentication method are used to authenticate the identity of patients and doctors in the blockchain network. Furthermore, we develop a smart recommendation method based on deep reinforcement learning to recommend appropriate doctors for patients. Next, patients allow recommended doctors to access their medical data, and smart contracts specifically designed for secure data access to medical wearables will regulate subsequent data access. The security analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively protect patients' privacy during treatment through secure authentication and data access for medical wearables.
