A cloud computing based mobile healthcare service system

The promising potential of cloud computing and its convergence with technologies such as cloud storage, cloud push, mobile computing leads to new developments for divers application domains, which provides a strong technical support for remote healthcare service as well. Experts and researchers believe that cloud computing technology can greatly improve the level of healthcare services. Currently, many experts have done fruitful research in this domain. This paper presents a cloud computing based remote healthcare service system. This system mainly consists of three parts: Portable medical devices, intelligent terminals (phones, tablets, etc.), cloud services platform. Portable medical acquisition devices transmit physiological signal to the intelligent terminal via wireless way (Bluetooth/WiFi). Monitoring software in smart terminal responses for data display, storage, and push the measurement results to the cloud service platform. Cloud services platform is a special website developed using cloud server, cloud storage and cloud push technology, which is the core of the whole system. Users can view and maintain their health data record anytime and anywhere only need an Internet equipment. Physicians can view their patient's health status through the same way. If necessary, the doctor can also push the diagnosis to patients and their families' smart phone, so related people can get the diagnosis result at the first time. On the smart terminal, a virtual instrument browser is proposed which can dynamically load virtual instrument page programs and can turn them into executable virtual instrument applications, which can break through the install limitation of measurement application, to avoid installing many applications on the phone.
