Management of Cloud systems applied to eHealth
Year: 2015
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This thesis explores techniques, models and algorithms for an efficient management of Cloud \nsystems and how to apply them to the healthcare sector in order to improve current treatments. It \npresents two Cloud-based eHealth applications to telemonitor and control smoke-quitting and \nhypertensive patients. Different Cloud-based models were obtained and used to develop a Cloudbased \ninfrastructure where these applications are deployed. The results show that these \napplications improve current treatments and that can be scaled as computing requirements grow. \nMultiple Cloud architectures and models were analyzed and then implemented using different \ntechniques and scenarios. The Smoking Patient Control (S-PC) tool was deployed and tested in a \nreal environment, showing a 28.4% increase in long-term abstinence. The Hypertension Patient \nControl (H-PC) tool, was successfully designed and implemented, and the computing boundaries \nwere measured
