Why Healthcare Is Finally Moving To The Cloud

by Dr. Gautam Sivakumar, CEO and founder of Medisas 09/06/2019 Leave a Comment

Why healthcare is finally moving to the cloud

How on earth could anyone justify putting the most sensitive information in our personal lives somewhere other than a locked cupboard, in the safety of a hospital?

Historically, security was tied to proximity and direct control, nowhere
