Abstract—Demand of healthcare service has been increasing
worldwide. With advance development of pervasive technology,
wearable device with multiple sensors can be effectively used as
instruments to remotely supervise patient condition at any place
and any time. However, this requires dynamically scale storage
resources to handle tremendous amount of data that generated
from various sensors. So the public cloud suits this requirement
very well, as it provides high scalable data storage service with
effective cost. But data confidentiality and privacy are still
challenging issues, because cloud infrastructure is maintained
by the third party, so data is security compromised and
generally prone to potential treats. We therefore propose
architecture with security schemes that aim to overcome this
challenge. The architecture supports mobile application that
continuously monitors patient health condition in the secure
way. The security scheme is based on public key infrastructure
to protect confidentiality, privacy and authenticity of personal
data. Our proposed architecture has been implemented and
initially tested by group of sampling patients at a local hospital
in Thailand.
