Summary
This study introduces a novel hybrid cloud architecture for telemedicine, improving homecare data management and resolving network congestion. The user-friendly system enhances family healthcare and hospital information exchange.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Computer Science
- Cloud Computing
Background:
- Existing telemedicine systems often fail to meet daily user needs.
- There is a need for efficient and user-friendly telemedicine solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a convenient and user-friendly telemedicine system.
- To propose a novel hybrid cloud architecture for homecare data management.
Main Methods:
- Developed an Android™-integrated set-top box system.
- Implemented a hybrid cloud architecture for data storage and management.
- Focused on family healthcare management, telemedicine service delivery, and hospital information exchange.
Main Results:
- Public cloud storage allows rapid access to updated patient information for medical staff.
- The system design aims to reduce long-term data storage for improved database efficiency.
- The hybrid cloud architecture effectively manages accumulating data.

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...
