Abstract :
At present, the cloud is now being acclaimed as a less expensive with low maintenance, entirely secure and compatible alternative to traditional computing networks used by physicians and healthcare organizations worldwide. These sensors will collect all the information that is required and the sensors will transmit it into the cloud. These sensors are always-on, real-time data compiling, it rules out manual collecting work and possibility of typing errors, and, it reposes the deployment process, as wireless networking signifies no need for cabling or other physical setup. As healthcare IT turns more widely used, and data storage and retrieval costs raise, more hospitals are anticipated to adopt cloud computing, encouraging the overall healthcare IT market with great potential impact on Gerontology and Geriatrics HealthCare System.
