A systematic literature review of cloud computing in eHealth

Cloud computing in eHealth is an emerging area for only few years. There needs to identify the state of the art and pinpoint challenges and possible directions for researchers and applications developers. Based on this need, we have conducted a systematic review of cloud computing in eHealth. We searched ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Inspec, ISI Web of Science and Springer as well as relevant open-access journals for relevant articles. A total of 237 studies were first searched, of which 44 papers met the Include Criteria. The studies identified three types of studied areas about cloud computing in eHealth, namely (1) cloud-based eHealth framework design (n=13); (2) applications of cloud computing (n=17); and (3) security or privacy control mechanisms of healthcare data in the cloud (n=14). Most of the studies in the review were about designs and concept-proof. Only very few studies have evaluated their research in the real world, which may indicate that the application of cloud computing in eHealth is still very immature. However, our presented review could pinpoint that a hybrid cloud platform with mixed access control and security protection mechanisms will be a main research area for developing citizen centred home-based healthcare applications

Висока продуктивність java-сокетів для оперування накопиченими даними в медицині

Computer clouds are using in health science for its data collections, manipulations and providing security needs in communications to exchange. The clouds distribution data character is using in science applications created to evaluate the data of the health-care. The science programs like medical visualization, genetic and protein conclusions, map-drag therapy and clinical decisions systems of support (CDSS) require high performance messaging libraries with minimum computer and communication spends and the effective utilization of the resources. The highperformance Java sockets (HPJS) encapsulate the needs of message high communications between cloud platforms science applications. HPJS effectively uses the Java socket realization for high-performance inner-process communications. With single-copy protocol, re-usability of the thread and communication overhead reduction, HPJS can use the message exchange in two times quickly to conventional buffered communication libraries.Компьютерные накопления данных используются в здравохранении для сохранения данных отдельных личностей, их манипуляции и обеспечения необходимости безопасного обмена. Характер распределения таких накоплений данных может быть разработан для использования в научных приложениях, которые разработаны для формирования оценки данных здравохранения. Такие научные программы як медицинская визуализация, генетические и протеиновые заключения, лечебно-профилактическая терапия та клинические системы поддержки принятия решений (CDSS) требуют библиотек скоростного обмена сообщениями с минимальными компьютерными и коммуникационными рас ходами, а также эффективным разграничением ресурсов. Высокопродуктивные Java-сокеты (HPJS) инкапсулируют необходимость высокопродуктивного обмена сообщениями между научными приложениями для cloud-платформ та эффективно используют Java-сокетную реализацию для образования высокоэффективной связи между процессами. С единой копией протокола и повторном использовании ниток та уменьшении накладных расходов связи высокопродуктивные Java-сокеты могут исполнять обмен сообщениями в два раза быстрее с обыкновенными буферизированными библиотекамисвязи.Комп’ютерні нагромадження даних використовуються в області охорони здоров’я для зберігання даних осіб, їх маніпуляції і забезпечення потреб безпечного обміну. Характер розподілу подібних нагромаджень даних може бути розроблений для застосування в наукових додатках, які розроблені для формування оцінки даних охорони здоров’я. Такі наукові програми як медична візуалізація, генетичні і протеїнові заключення, лікувально-профілактична терапія та клінічні системи підтримки прийняття рішень (CDSS) вимагають бібліотек швидкого обміну повідомленнями з мінімальними комп’ютерними і комунікаційними затратами та ефективним розшаруванням ресурсів. Високопродуктивні Java-сокети (HPJS) інкапсулюють потреби високопродуктивного обміну повідомленнями між науковими додатками для cloud-платформ та ефективно використовують Java-сокетну реалізацію для утворення високоефективного зв’язку між процесами. З єдиною копією протоколу при повторному використанні ниток та зменшенні накладних витрат зв’язку високопродуктивні Java-сокети можуть виконувати обмін повідомленнями в два рази швидше із звичайними буферизованими бібліотеками зв’язку

Trust Enhanced Role Based Access Control Using Genetic Algorithm

Improvements in technological innovations have become a boon for business organizations, firms, institutions, etc. System applications are being developed for organizations whether small-scale or large-scale. Taking into consideration the hierarchical nature of large organizations, security is an important factor which needs to be taken into account. For any healthcare organization, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of the patients’ records is of utmost importance while ensuring that they are only available to the authorized personnel. The paper discusses the technique of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and its different aspects. The paper also suggests a trust enhanced model of RBAC implemented with selection and mutation only ‘Genetic Algorithm’. A practical scenario involving healthcare organization has also been considered. A model has been developed to consider the policies of different health departments and how it affects the permissions of a particular role. The purpose of the algorithm is to allocate tasks for every employee in an automated manner and ensures that they are not over-burdened with the work assigned. In addition, the trust records of the employees ensure that malicious users do not gain access to confidential patient data

A Review on the Role of Nano-Communication in Future Healthcare Systems: A Big Data Analytics Perspective

This paper presents a first-time review of the open literature focused on the significance of big data generated within nano-sensors and nano-communication networks intended for future healthcare and biomedical applications. It is aimed towards the development of modern smart healthcare systems enabled with P4, i.e. predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory capabilities to perform diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment. The analytical capabilities that can be produced from the substantial amount of data gathered in such networks will aid in exploiting the practical intelligence and learning capabilities that could be further integrated with conventional medical and health data leading to more efficient decision making. We have also proposed a big data analytics framework for gathering intelligence, form the healthcare big data, required by futuristic smart healthcare to address relevant problems and exploit possible opportunities in future applications. Finally, the open challenges, future directions for researchers in the evolving healthcare domain, are presented

INSURANCE ID (Online Platform for Insurance Claim Processing)

This project intends to boost the current technological implementation of Malaysian’s insurance and healthcare information system, by developing a unique platform to serve online collaboration features, enabling the three user groups which is the healthcare providers, insurance carriers and their registered clients to communicate and delivering their services in a more efficient manner as this will eventually accelerates the tedious and time consuming insurance-related processes. This project is realized to overcome the difficulties in insurance verification process which are currently being done manually. The current approach is impractical for emergency cases where timely events turn out to be the real deal in determining a patient’s live. Thus, by taking advantage of the Internet, a collaboration platform can be developed to allow faster processing of medical and insurance related documents. The prototype of INSURANCE ID had been developed by using Client-Server Architecture as a web-based application which it will be made accessible via internet browsers for desktop users and web applications for the clients. The development of this project is hoped to mark a new milestone for Malaysian insurance system to continue to be established in light of helping the unfortunate, securing their lives and restoring hope, in order to protect their rightful liberties as the residents of Malaysia.
