Why Cloud Technology
in Health care ?
Briefly Cloud facilitates

technologies that are used in
healthcare like electronic medical
records, mobile apps, patient
portals, devices with IoT, big data
analytics. It provides hassle-free
scalability and flexibility, which in
turn improves the ultimate
decision-making process.
Why Cloud Technology
in Health Care ? Quality
Service
Cloud computing in healthcare is gaining more
and more popularity, especially after the
COVID-19 pandemic. The importance of cloud
computing in healthcare is evident from the
fact that the global cloud computing market
for the healthcare industry is expected to
reach around $25.54 billion by 2024. Cloud
computing is now a must-have technology for
the healthcare industry to provide an optimal
patient-centered experience.
What is Cloud Based
Health Care ?
Cloud-based healthcare is the process of
integrating cloud computing technology
into healthcare services for cost savings,
easy data sharing, personalized medicine,
telehealth apps, and more benefits. Many
healthcare providers also use cloud-based
systems in healthcare for safe data
storage, backups, and digital record
retrieval..
How Cloud base Healthcare solutions Help ?
Cloud-based healthcare solutions help with the following

aspects in the healthcare industry:
Better analysis and monitoring of data related to diagnosis
and treatment of different diseases
Massive storage resources for large datasets for EHR
(Electronic Health Record) and radiology images
Ability to provide on-demand access to computing
resources
Sharing of EHR only among authorized physicians, doctors,
and hospitals in different locations around the world,
providing timely access to information critical for saving
lives and reducing the need for duplicate testing
Improved data analysis
Enhanced tracking of patients’ healthcare data
Applications of Cloud Computing in Healthcare

1
E-health and Telemedicine
Cloud computing is now widely used for E-health, which refers to
providing healthcare services electronically through the internet.
Drug Discovery
2 Cloud computing plays a significant role in drug recovery because drug

recovery requires a large number of computing resources for
discovering different compounds
Healthcare Information Systems
3 The healthcare industry uses cloud-based management information

systems to provide improved patient care, manage human resources,
better-querying services, and billing and finance
Applications of Cloud Computing in Healthcare

Personal Health Records
4 Another cloud computing application in healthcare is managing access to personal

health records (PHR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR). With cloud-based
programs for PHR, users can easily access and manage the PHR database and
share data.
5
Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS)
CDSS is an advanced system that uses the knowledge and behavior of
a medical professional to provide advice on the patient record analysis.
This system is used for diagnosing conditions and prescribing
medication
6
Cloud-based Digital Libraries
TLibraries are an important asset and source of knowledge for medical
students, practitioners, and researchers. Cloud-based libraries have
massive file storage, query languages, and indexing service.

Types of Cloud Computing in Healthcare
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
IaaS includes physical processing and storage resources offered by a third-party cloud provider over the
internet.
Platform as a Service (PaaS)

In this model, a third-party cloud provider provides software and hardware tools, such as a debugger,
compiler, and source code editor. PaaS is used to develop, test and deploy online HealthTech applications.
Software as a Service (SaaS)

SaaS is another cloud computing service model that delivers ready-to-use, cloud-based software, such as
clinical information systems. In SaaS, healthcare companies get that access to cloud-based software, but
it is hosted and managed by a third-party cloud provider.
If you want to learn about cloud computing services in detail, check out our article on IaaS, PaaS, and
SaaS.
Cloud Computing
Environments
Public cloud: The same cloud provider offers services to multiple

clients.
Private cloud: Cloud services are provided to only one client, offering
better security.
Hybrid cloud in healthcare: Hybrid cloud for healthcare combines
both on-premise and private and public cloud options.
Examples of Cloud Computing in
Healthcare
Microsoft HealthVault
Microsoft HealthVault is another cloud-based PHR management
system. Patients can use it to store, manage, and share their PHR.
Additionally, they can conveniently import their healthcare
information from different medical devices into the healthvault
without needing any extra tools and software. Quality
Service
24/7
Cloud-based Telemedicine
Another example of cloud computing in healthcare is a project in
Australia for cloud-based telemedicine. The project used cloud
computing for telemedicine, e-appointment, e-prescription, and e-
consulting to allow patients to connect with their physicians
remotely to discuss their health-related issues.

Examples of Cloud Computing in

Healthcare
MyPHRmachines System
A PHR system called the MyPHRmachines system has been developed
by the Eindhoven University of technology using cloud technology.
With this system, users can access the PHR database through specific
software and share and analyze the PHR data. MyPHRmachines is
designed to provide access to different users with better flexibility but Quality
offers high security at the same time. Service
Patients who use this system can easily share specific healthcare data
with their physicians without worrying about data misuse because the 24/7
system deletes copies of the data after a certain time limit.
Additionally, the data that the patients don’t want to share is secure
in the system, and no third party can access it.

What is the future of cloud computing

in healthcare?
Quality
Service
With more and more healthcare
companies adopting the cloud and the
wide range of benefits that cloud
computing offers for the healthcare
industry, the future of cloud computing
is bright. The global cloud computing
market in healthcare is expected to
reach around $25.54 billion.
