Abstract :
In this paper, we introduce healthcare and welfare provisioning intercloud on an example of Aging in Place platform. We relate it to earlier work both in healthcare and intercloud domain. We describe goals and architecture of the platform and demonstrate benefits of applying Cloud Computing solutions to previously identified challenges. Subsequently, we list and analyze challenges that seem to be unique to such setting and identify risk factors.
