Description & Coverage
Description:

The implementation of cloud technologies in healthcare is paving the way to more effective patient care and management for medical professionals around the world. As more facilities start to integrate cloud computing into their healthcare systems, it is imperative to examine the emergent trends and innovations in the field.

Cloud Computing Systems and Applications in Healthcare features innovative research on the impact that cloud technology has on patient care, disease management, and the efficiency of various medical systems. Highlighting the challenges and difficulties in implementing cloud technology into the healthcare field, this publication is a critical reference source for academicians, technology designers, engineers, professionals, analysts, and graduate students.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Adaptive Cloud Technology
  • Big Data Analytics
  • Crypto-Watermarking System
  • Data Security
  • Data Sharing
  • Neuro-fuzzy systems
  • Wireless Infrastructure
Reviews & Statements

Computer scientists and engineers and information technology specialists review recent developments in cloud computing and their application in healthcare. Their topics include cloud based wireless infrastructure for health monitoring, an adaptive cloud prototype model for healthcare systems using software-defined networks, big data analytics for monitoring childhood pneumonia, data protection and security in social media, a methodological evaluation of a crypto-watermarking system for medical images, and a personalized neuro-fuzzy expert system for determining nutrient requirements.

– Protoview Reviews

This volume in the Advances in Healthcare Information Systems and Administrationn (AHISA) book series merges the rapidly evolving worlds of healthcare and intelligence technology to examine the variety of ways in which cloud computing (i.e., using remote rather than personal computer storage and processing) can enhance a number of healthcare management systems. Eleven chapters work to distill compelling research that exposes the ideas and issues surrounding the complex overhaul of these systems that have been in place for years.
Like other titles in the series, chapters begin with an abstract to summarize the impetus for the research to follow. Chapters may also include background, detailed objectives, methodology, and more. Information is generally presented in concise paragraphs aided by the occasional use of such things as bullet points, tables, headings and subheadings, and key terms and definitions. End pages compile each chapter’s references, offer brief contributor biographies, and include an index.
Specific topics are covered in such chapters as "Cloud Based Wireless Infrastructure for Health Monitoring"; "Trust, Privacy Issues in Cloud Based Healthcare Services"; and "A Methodological Evaluation of Crypto-Watermarking Systems for Medical Images." While some chapters point to the risks of cloud computing, such as data security, other chapters reveal the promise of adapting the cutting-edge technology of the cloud for use in such instances as medical imagery and disease monitoring.
The highly specialized language and technical concepts target the material in this book to those working within the healthcare or intelligence technology communities. However, educators, engineers, students, administrators, programmers, and many others can benefit from its research as well.
