A medical cloud
Jurij Franc Tasič, Marjan Gušev, Sasko Ristov · 2016
Recent trends and development in the production of various wearable biosensors enable a lot of medical and environment information to be available for each human being. Processing of data coming from these sensors, extracting valuable information and analyzing the electronic health record with a sufficient expertise is a complex processing task, which requires more resources than an ordinary mobile device or personal computer can perform with the available technology today. In this paper, we propose a cloud-based solution to deal with these challenges. The design includes use of wearable biosensors, personalized medical devices as transmitters of sensor data and the cloud that delivers various healthcare services over the Internet. A medical cloud hosts a specially developed application, which communicates with medical devices and sensors from one side and caregivers, such as a medical institution. The services include analysis by an expert ICT system, and also by a medical expert in case of an alert for detected problems analyzing the current state by received sensor data.
