Abstract
The healthcare system is important due to its focus on human care and its interference with human lives. In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid rise in e-healthcare technologies such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and the importance of emergency detection and response. Cloud computing is one of the new approaches that can handle some of the challenges of smart healthcare in terms of security, sharing, integration and management. In this study, we review the significance and opportunities of using cloud computing in pervasive healthcare, and then look at the current as well as the future challenges it faces.
