Cloud Computing Architectures for the Underserved: Public Health Cyberinfrastructures through a Network of HealthATMs

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of cyberinfrastructure architecture on healthcare services. More specifically, this research details the architectural design for a personal health record system called "HealthATM" that utilizes and integrates services from Google's cloud computing environment. These services are integrated into an unobtrusive and easy to use ATM-style interface for health consumers and care providers to manage and track their health. The impact for such an application, particularly for the underserved, is an important step toward better health management across this population with the end-goal of better health outcomes in the future.
