Cloud Computing Approach to Novel Medical Interface Design

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Medical and Healthcare Technologies

Abstract

Interface technologies and devices need to be developed with novel functionalities for pattern analysis and data transfer in order to receive helpful and reliable healthcare service “from the Cloud”. The complexity of implementing Cloud computing for healthcare relates to a number of issues such as privacy, data protection, medical record access and update, high performance computation (HPC), etc. [1–4]. At the same time interoperability needs to be achieved at all levels of provision of Cloud services—from the novel interface, via Hardware as a Service (HaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
