Recent progression in health informatics data analysis has been impeded due to lack of hospital resources and computation power. To remedy this, some researchers have proposed a cloud-based web service patient monitoring system capable of providing offsite collection, analysis, and dissemination of remote patient physiological data. Unfortunately, some of these cloud services are not effective without utilizing next-generation hardware management techniques. In order to make cloud based patient monitoring a reality, this paper shows how leveraging an underlying platform-as-a-service (PaaS) cloud model can provide integration with web service patient monitoring systems while providing high availability, scalability, and security. We also present an analytical model of the proposed platform and obtain performance measures such as delay in servicing as well as reject probability.
