Abstract
The concept of mobile health (mHealth) portends the ability to move health information. There is a surge of participation by third parties who enable the mobility of health records. They posit, to a bigger or lesser extent, that they have applied the appropriate methods for either electronic health records management (say in iCloud settings) and or have the mobile devices to capture care data efficiently. The paradigm shift to a Cloud computing environment portends several opportunities for healthcare service providers. There are opportunities to provide healthcare services, not only in different scenarios, but also in a diversity of effective and simple way. Furthermore, there are the advantages of scalability and mobility that a Cloud-based healthcare services environment system can offer.
