Abstract

Recently, serverless architecture has gained popularity due to its cost-effective policies, independent stateless functions, auto-scaling, and simplified code deployment. It allows the developer to deploy and run their applications without worrying about the underlying architecture. The healthcare services can be made available as a serverless application that consists of distributed cloud services achieving the various requirements in the healthcare industry. The services offered may be available on-premise on a cloud infrastructure to users and health service providers. This paper presents four case studies that have been successfully adapted serverless architecture for health care systems, where the health services are provided as functional units to various stakeholders. We have also discussed various components of healthcare systems that may require serverless services over the cloud infrastructure.
