Security in Cloud-Computing-Based Mobile Health

Cloud computing as a current trend is used, most simply, to remotely store information, but can also enable the execution of distributed mobile systems in a cloud-computing environment. Its application in the mobile health (m-health) field provides several benefits and improves the work of professionals and health organizations. However, the vulnerabilities of the infrastructure involved in cloud-computing-based m-health systems must be of constant concern to IT professionals. This article presents some basic concepts that indicate the value proposition of cloud-computing-based m-health, as well as problems and solutions in information security that apply to the area.
