Abstract
Demand of healthcare service has been increasingworldwide. With advance development of pervasive technology,wearable device with multiple sensors can be effectively used asinstruments to remotely supervise patient condition at any placeand any time. However, this requires dynamically scale storageresources to handle tremendous amount of data that generatedfrom various sensors. So the public cloud suits this requirementvery well, as it provides high scalable data storage service witheffective cost. But data confidentiality and privacy are stillchallenging issues, because cloud infrastructure is maintainedby the third party, so data is security compromised andgenerally prone to potential treats. We therefore proposearchitecture with security schemes that aim to overcome thischallenge. The architecture supports mobile application thatcontinuously monitors patient health condition in the secureway. The security scheme is based on public key infrastructureto protect confidentiality, privacy and authenticity of personaldata. Our proposed architecture has been implemented andinitially tested by group of sampling patients at a local hospitalin Thailand.
