Recently, there has been a cloud-based Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) solution offering different healthcare services to wearable sensor devices for patients. These services are global, and can be invoked anywhere at any place. Especially, electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors, such as Lead I and Lead II, demands continuous cloud services for real-time execution. However, these services are paid and need a lower cost-efficient process for the users. In this paper, this study considered critical heartbeat cost-efficient task scheduling problems for healthcare applications in the fog cloud system. The objective was to offer omnipresent cloud services to the generated data with minimum cost. This study proposed a novel health care based fog cloud system (HCBFS) to collect, analyze, and determine the process of critical tasks of the heartbeat medical application for the purpose of minimizing the total cost. This study devised a health care awareness cost-efficient task scheduling (HCCETS) algorithm framework, which not only schedule all tasks with minimum cost, but also executes them on their deadlines. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed task scheduling algorithm framework outperformed the existing algorithm methods in terms of cost.

Cloud Computing is one of the important fields in the current time of technological era. Here, the resources are available virtually for users according to pay-per-usage. Many industries are providing cloud services nowadays as pay for usage which reduces the computing cost drastically. The updated software services, hardware services can be provided to the user at a minimum cost. The target of the industries and scientists is to reduce the computing cost by various technologies. Resource management or task scheduling may also play a positive role in this regard. There are various virtual machine management algorithms available that can be tested and enhanced for research and benefit of the society. In this paper, three famous Max-Min, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithms have been used for experiments. After simulation results, it is found that the PSO algorithm is performing well for makes pan and cost factors. Further, a new algorithm can be proposed or a meta-heuristic technique can be enhanced or modified for getting better results.

Currently, the use of biosensor-enabled mobile healthcare workflow applications in mobile edge-cloud-enabled systems is increasing progressively. These applications are heavyweight and divided between a thin client mobile device and a thick server edge cloud for execution. Application partitioning is a mechanism in which applications are divided based on resource and energy parameters. However, existing application-partitioning schemes widely ignore security aspects for healthcare applications. This study devises a dynamic application-partitioning workload task-scheduling-secure (DAPWTS) algorithm framework that consists of different schemes, such as min-cut algorithm, searching node, energy-enabled scheduling, failure scheduling, and security schemes. The goal is to minimize the energy consumption of nodes and divide the application between local nodes and edge nodes by applying the secure min-cut algorithm. Furthermore, the study devises the secure-min-cut algorithm, which aims to migrate data between nodes in a secure form during application partitioning in the system. After partitioning the applications, the node-search algorithm searches optimally to run applications under their deadlines. The energy and failure schemes maintain the energy consumption of the nodes and the failure of the system. Simulation results show that DAPWTS outperforms existing baseline approaches by 30% in terms of energy consumption, deadline, and failure of applications in the system.

<abstract><p>These days, healthcare applications on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) network have been growing to deal with different diseases via different sensors. These healthcare sensors are connecting to the various healthcare fog servers. The hospitals are geographically distributed and offer different services to the patients from any ubiquitous network. However, due to the full offloading of data to the insecure servers, two main challenges exist in the IoMT network. (i) Data security of workflows healthcare applications between different fog healthcare nodes. (ii) The cost-efficient and QoS efficient scheduling of healthcare applications in the IoMT system. This paper devises the Cost-Efficient Service Selection and Execution and Blockchain-Enabled Serverless Network for Internet of Medical Things system. The goal is to choose cost-efficient services and schedule all tasks based on their QoS and minimum execution cost. Simulation results show that the proposed outperform all existing schemes regarding data security, validation by 10%, and cost of application execution by 33% in IoMT.</p></abstract>

The article is devoted to the issues of informatization of health care in the context of medical reform in Ukraine. It was emphasized that the service component of health care reform should open free access to information for patients, in connection with which the eHealth system (electronic health care system) is being introduced in Ukraine. eHealth provides the exchange of medical information and the implementation of the program of medical guarantees of the population. It is substantiated that in order to effectively implement the state information policy in the medical field it is necessary to develop and adopt a legal act at the level of law, for example, the Law of Ukraine “On the functioning of the electronic health care system in Ukraine”. The task of such an act should be to determine the subjects of information policy in this area, the powers of individual bodies and non-governmental organizations or economic entities involved in the development and operation of electronic health care system. An important element of regulation should be to address the issue of cybersecurity when using eHealth and to determine the responsibility of specific entities for possible violations or threats to the system. It is determined that eHealth should cover all areas of medical services, including “military” and “departmental medicine”. It is emphasized that an important element of the reliable functioning of eHealth should be the training of medical staff to work with databases. At the same time, the provision on the possibility of providing “cloud” services related to the functioning of the electronic health care system should be taken into account during the creation of the draft law “On cloud services”. The possibility of using “cloud” storage of medical data and requirements for the use of “cloud” information services provided from territories of a jurisdiction other than the national one requires is assessment.

ABSTRACTCanada, like all industrialised countries, has become concerned over health care costs. Canada has reason to be concerned, with the most expensive system, on a per capita basis, of any country with national health insurance. This paper briefly reviews Canada's health care system, examines the rhetoric being adopted throughout the country at the current time, and discusses the changes which are now occurring. An assessment of whether change will lead to a more cost efficient and appropriate system for an aging society is then presented. It is concluded that there are profound changes taking place in the health care system in all provinces in Canada. Most of the changes to date reflect a restricting of current medical care by making ineligible previously eligible procedures, introducing user fees where there were none before, and in some instances including means testing where there was none before. In addition, hospital budgets are being cut and beds are being closed. However, a corresponding expansion of community programmes, while evident in the rhetoric, is less evident within current actions.
