Abstract:
Cloud services provided for healthcare are easy to use and updated quickly with new knowledge therefore they are widely utilized in nowadays. A research issue here we need to solve is to provide a no-programming method for developing cloud services. The research issue comes from the background that the specialists in the area of healthcare are not also the specialist in the area of information technology. In this paper, we propose a method for creating a healthcare cloud service based on a cloud service that we developed referred to as the Formula Calculation Platform Service. The important feature of the method is that service builders only need to consider about the functions of their services. Based on the proposed method, we created a cloud service for weight control to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by demonstration experiments.
