Abstract

The growth of data produced by the medical and clinical community requires the introduction of advanced techniques and resources in terms of computational and storage capabilities. The different problems and needs that afflict the information technologies for health support conduce to adoption of new infrastructure and application based on cloud computing. The different problems concerning to one side to the managerial, administrative and management aspects, to the other side concern who works as a physician or researcher, that needs the infrastructure to process, store, manage patient data, analysis, diagnosis, and so on. Today, cloud computing represents an important alternative to ensure high performance data processing and easy management of the complex tools in different area and in health. Cloud computing can solve many of these problems providing several advantages in terms of resource management and computational capabilities. In this paper a survey concerning the current models of health that are switching to solutions based on cloud computing, is proposed. Different applications and services are explored and concluded that the use of cloud computing and in particular of hybrid cloud solution can represent a significant opportunity to increase the development of the health sector in all its aspects.
