Abstract

Healthcare mobile applications provide better care and quality of services: maintaining patient confidentiality, managing patient records, and storing and retrieving data. Using mobile applications with the cloud computing system reduces response time to secure and treat patients’ lives and give them the best professional healthcare service. This paper presents cloud computing services in the mobile health care model that reducing the waste of time in emergency health care. The patient’s operation of the application, the mobile application, will discover the patient’s location and allow him to book the nearest medical center or specialist in some emergency cases. Once the patient makes the reservation, he will send the request for help to the medical center. This process includes pre-registering the patient online at the medical center to save Patient time registration. The proposed system we call the “EgyHealth model” allows patients to review their data, and each specialist or medical center’s experiences, book appointments, and conduct medical advice. Use their data wherever they are, regardless of location and time, and allow doctors to often contact their patients and communicate through the phone applications Portable using cloud computing and exchange of messages and photos for the accident or emergency itself.
