Mobile based healthcare can be used as remote telehealthcare. Although Information management in telehealthcare system is a complex job, Cloud Computing will be useful in telehealthcare in terms of cost reduction and resource utilization. Whereas scalability and flexibility are more advantageous to the this purpose.
