NIST Definition v.15
• Cloud computing is a model for enabling
convenient, on-demand network access to a
shared pool of configurable computing resources
(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications,
and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction.
Five Characteristics of Cloud
• On-demand self-service
• Broad network access
• Resource pooling
• Rapid elasticity
• Measured Service
“the kind of service that dry-lab biomedical researchers
would always wanted…”
Other Terms related to Cloud
• Service Model
• Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
• Deployment Model
• Private cloud  TMUH as an example
• Community cloud
• Public cloud
• Hybrid cloud

Challenges
• ELSI and privacy issues
• IRB or no IRB or a Joint IRB
• More complex with more partners
• Lack of data standard for EMR data
• caBIG, caDSR (Cancer Data Standards Registry and
Repository) for hosting and managing metadata)
• Scale and complexity of EHR
• High demand of computational resource to maintain
multiparty private computation (shared results
without sharing data)
• Not RCT clinical trials (but much more available)
CLOUD COMPUTING
FOR HEALTH CARE
Medical Cloud
Cloud Computing for Major Hospitals
• Virtualization (IaaS)
• Cut the maintenance cost in half
• Much less server room space and much greener
• More flexibility and portability of services
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SaaS)
• An overhaul of the basic system architecture
• Highly flexible and efficient new architecture
• Fast deployment of new applications
• Web-friendly

Cloud Computing for Personalized Health
Care
• PHR or ePHR (electronic
Personal Health Record) is
at the the core of the Next-Generation Health IT
• PHR =
• Personal part of the EMR from all the providers
• + self-measured bio-signals
• + self-entered health related information like family history, exercise,
food consumption, food allergies, OTC drugs, cigarette
consumption…etc.
• PHR will be the basis of

Personalized Medicine
• It is estimated in 2014, a personal
Genome can be sequenced under
$1,000 USD
• 3 billion DNA and 33K genes
 more than 100K proteins
 metabolic pathways
all the functions of body
Some estimated 4GB to store all
the short-reads (before compression)
Personalized Medicine (cont.)
• Need a place to
• store it
• review it
• make sense out of it
by linking to a person’s
health information
• PHR on the Cloud will
be the ideal place
Cloud Computing for Rural Heath Care
• The lack of IT resource of rural health stations and
small hospitals in China (>16,000)
• Pioneered since 2007 by Steve Chan (designer of
Cray-2)
• Deployed into two medium-sized cities in the
western part of China (200 health stations, 800 care-givers)
• A new sustainability model for HIT in
developing countries and resource-poor
areas
Conclusion
• Cloud Computing will change the face of Biomedical
Research Data Service
• Cloud Computing, with privacy-enhanced, could change
the future of HIT delivery in developing countries and
resource-poor areas
• Fits the needs of many healthcare sectors due to flexibility
and cost-effectiveness
• Cloud Computing will be a “liberator” for
scalability/accessibility limitations
