2. Individuals now have unlimited access to health information and, as a result, they havebecome actively involved in improving their health. There are now close to 700,000 healthapps that monitor a variety of health data - heart rate, blood pressure, sleep patterns,calories intake, physical activity, blood glucose, cholesterol levels, and several otherparameters. This self-monitoring information is set to increase, get more accurate, andtransform how healthcare will be delivered to the people. Cloud computing comes to theforefront here as it helps with the storage of private and confidential patient data. It enableshealthcare professionals and citizens/patients to access their data at any time and place.Health organizations use cloud computing to reduce costs, simplify management, andimprove services in a safe and secure manner. Clinicians can be more flexible in theirwork as they are not confined to their office to access patients' health records. Healthcareprofessionals can also exchange information about a patient with their colleagues at otherlocations to inform or negotiate about possible medical options. Cloud services availableto health and life science organizations today extend well beyond email andcommunications, meetings, and collaboration. Hospitals and physicians are starting to seecloud-based medical records and medical image archiving services. The objective is tooffload a burdensome task from hospital IT departments and allow them to focus onsupporting other imperatives such as EMR adoption and improved clinical supportsystems. What are the advantages of adopting cloud computing in hospitals? Canintroducing mobile devices for doctors in hospitals help? If so, how?
