EMERGING SCOPE OF MEDICAL LABORATORIES SYSTEMS USING CLOUD COMPUTING FROM END-USER PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

In today’s world the rapid and reliable information extraction has become everybody’s need. Cloud computing is one of the emerging technology solutions to answer this query. This technology is providing many opportunities to the users in different terms to produce rapid and cost effective solution. This study helps in understanding the scope of the cloud computing as a solution in the field of medical laboratory systems. A study has been conducted to determine the need of the services required by the users in medical laboratory system. The preference recorded during the study by the participants are recorded and analyzed to replace traditional medical laboratory system. A cloud based model has been discussed to transfer and contain patient’s data using a web based cloud hosted application. This expert system will ensure the data handling in different defined classes using decision trees. A cell phone key based user verification technique shall be discussed for data sharing among doctors and the hospital for further consultation by the user.

Keywords: Medical Laboratory System, Cloud Computing, Expert Systems, Decision Trees.
