Telemedicine and Medical Cloud

Dear Colleagues,

Specialized physicians from a large number of health care institutions are providing education, remote diagnosis and second opinion to other health centers that do not have specialized human resources. The evolution of technology creates opportunities to improve telemedicine services. Cloud computing has a revolutionary effect on telemedicine as it facilitates improvement of services any time and anywhere. Many medical professionals are already using advance telehealth application of cloud computing. Cloud computing improve healthcare services all over the world. Most cloud providers offer security mechanisms such as filtering unauthorized users and, auditing abnormal data retrieval actions. Lack of trust remains the major issue that keeps consumers from placing sensitive data in the cloud. This special issue covers both theoretical research and application of telemedicine and medical cloud. We encourage authors to submit their original research articles, work in progress, reviews, and short comments in this field. We also welcome research work that has performed cost analysis using these applications.
