Flexiant providing Cloud Platform for e-Health Pilot in England

Definitely a pilot worth following, sv

Scottish cloud software and services provider Flexiant is providing a cloud platform for a research project that promises NHS patients complete control over their medical records and the power to decide who has access to their data.The E-Health Cloud, using Flexiant’s pioneering cloud platform Extility, will be the first large scale deployment of the cloud in e-health.

A pilot underway at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, is using cloud computing to make communication between patient, consultant and GP faster and more efficient. Researchers at Chelsea and Westminster are working with Edinburgh Napier University and Flexiant to show how the current paper-based system could be replaced with a next-generation e-health platform. After 18 months in development, with the cloud integration work provided by Flexiant, the E-Health Cloud is now ready to be tested and a demonstrator will go live on Flexiant’s Extility platform next month. The demonstrator will be the first large scale deployment of the cloud in e-health.
