Medical Consultancy on Cloud

Abstract

The health services are vital in every society either for humans, animals, or plants. Technically developed zones have better infrastructures for medical facilities whereas developing and under-developing regions, especially remote areas, lacking basic health services to people. Especially, in case of newly born babies and life threatening chronic diseases, the cost of consultancy services are far beyond the common person. Even though, with the engagement of paramedical staff, patients are unable to approach them because of remoteness, strikes, curfews, especially late at nights. On the other hand, modern techniques (mobile, androids, etc.) and internet services are very popular in the recent times and are within the access of every one. These modern gadgets can be utilized to improve the quality of health treatment and strengthens the overall access of medical care. Remote medical consultancy through cloud can plays important role in this regard. Providing health services through mobile agents at nominal expense will raise the over-all standard of e-health. We present medical consultancy on clouds by introducing Physician Agent who provides services in remote areas on behalf of physicians / doctors. The intention is to provide disease diagnostics along with prescription through expert opinions using agent based cloud service. The services are provided in user native language and the remedy consists of locally available medicines (like allopathic, homeopathic, and herbal).
