Abstract

In the present age, Cloud Computing is acting as a most flexible and collaborative approach that can be applied in different public and private domains. Apart from playing a crucial role in terms of employment and revenue, the healthcare sector also plays a significant role in saving the lives of numerous people. Directly or indirectly, the lives of patients depend on their previous records, new advancements in the health sector, and interconnection among various health staff. All these factors were not feasible by using traditional ways, but this has become feasible since the introduction of cloud computing in the health sector. Cloud Computing has eased the access of applications and data from any worldwide location from any device with an internet connection. In this paper, the role of cloud computing in healthcare services and the opportunities associated are presented. This paper elaborates on the challenges faced by the industries with current and future innovations of cloud computing in healthcare. Security concerns along with the benefits, risks, stakeholders, challenges associated with cloud computing in health sectors have also been discussed.
