The advent of cloud computing and the ubiquity of broadband wireless coverage and wide spread usage of smart phones around the world carries the potential for transforming health care services, reducing health care cost and ensuring faster care for urgent cases. To these objectives, we present a cloud-based mobile health monitoring solution that takes advantage of cloud infrastructure and mobile processing capability to address the rising cost of health care monitoring. The solution enables health care providers to remotely analyze, monitor and diagnose patient's data. The solution integrates a powerful data analysis tool, cloud computing and mobile services. This paper presents a proof of concept that has been developed to monitor, record and analyze heart rate. The design enables a physician to develop custom analysis and monitoring to collect key indicator or set alerts without a need for infrastructure implementations to store or transfer the data.
