- Guest editorial: Secure cloud computing for mobile health servicesPublication . Abbas, Haider; Ullah, Sana; Misra, Sudip; Chen, Yuh-ShyanSeamless availability of medical and biological data to legitimate users is the top concern for healthcare systems that are being managed electronically. This demand, as a result, has paved multiple ways for modern technologies deployment in telemedicine and mobile healthcare services. The cloud computing technology deployment in healthcare systems is also considered as a part of the same initiative that has provided numerous benefits to this area. However, at the same time this also gave rise to the possibility of sensitive data exposure by various unpredictable threats associated with cloud computing technology. This threat landscape becomes more critical when it comes to the sensitive data and services management of a healthcare system. As noticed through the recent incidents, the healthcare systems are vulnerable to multiple threats, that may have serious impact on the healthcare working environment, safety of operations, patient’s data privacy and secure transmissions of medical data.
