A Cloud Based Real-Time Collaborative Platform for eHealth.

For more than a decade, the eHealth initiative has been a government concern of many countries. In an Electronic Health Record (EHR) System, there is a need for sharing the data with a group of specialists simultaneously. Collaborative platforms alone are just a part of a solution, while a collaborative platform with parallel editing capabilities and with synchronized data streaming are stringently needed. In this paper, the design and implementation of a collaborative platform used in healthcare is introduced by describing the high level architecture and its implementation. A series of eHealth services are identified and usage examples in a healthcare environment are given.
