Message-Oriented Middleware on the Cloud for Exchanging E-Health Data

Cloud infrastructure has been one of the latest technologies in the e-health sector. Despite many research studies focusing on the privacy of the e-health data stored on the cloud, the ways of exchanging e-health information between client and cloud have not yet been fully addressed. Moving from this initial consideration, in this chapter, the authors evaluate the possibility of using Message-Oriented Middleware (MOMS) for exchanging data between the cloud storage and the remote device used in telemedicine and remote monitoring software. The evaluation is done using a cloud testing environment and a low bandwidth connection modem and a simulation of 50 patients taking a 10 minutes 3Lead EGC test. Some possible future directions on this architecture are suggested as well as some possible improvements.
