An Enhanced Mobile HealthCare Monitoring System in Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract: Cloud computing is on-demand computing that does not reside at the users’ premise. Instead, the computing resources are owned and managed by a service provider and the users access the resources via the Internet. Mobile computing provides new opportunities to personal users of healthcare services. Mobile and cloud technologies are at the heart of healthcare's transformation. Tablets are replacing paper medical charts, private clouds are enabling secure access to medical records, and mobile cloud collaboration tools are improving information sharing among medical professionals and academics. Mobile devices are being considered as service platforms for mobile health information delivery, access and communication. Wireless and mobile communications lead to the emergence of a new type of advanced service for health care, making mobile health care systems more realistic and feasible in terms of providing expert-based medical care. Cloud Computing provides functionality for managing information data in a distributed, ubiquitous and pervasive manner supporting several platforms, systems and applications. The implementation of a system that enables autonomic computing is that “Systems manage themselves according to an administrator’s goals and new components must be integrated effortlessly”.
