Abstract
Medical services become more complex every day, and physicians need more information about patients and illness to provide an efficient treatment. A new technology that can help this important field of our life is cloud computing. We use cloud computing for e-prescription software, and we try to develop ontology that permit the use of tested medicines for patients with the same characteristics. This kind of process is possible only if the physicians have access to medical data of an others physicians, by using cloud computing.
