Abstract: Offering hitherto unheard-of chances to improve data administration, patient care, and clinical decision-making, digital transformation in healthcare has driven the general acceptance of cloud-based health informatics. Moving digital health information to the cloud raises a lot of moral and privacy questions. It examines the evolution of cloud technology throughout time, current use of digital records, and open, scalable architecture underlying health data management. Important privacy concerns like data security, regulatory compliance, and the difficulties of making techniques anonymous—as well as ethical concerns including patient liberty, informed permission, data ownership, and equitable access—are covered in the speech. The paper provides a whole strategy for striking a compromise between innovation and strict safety precautions. It achieves this by considering pragmatic and technical concerns and proposing solutions, such as fresh technologies safeguarding privacy and equitable approaches to data management. The findings reveal that we immediately need combination governance structures and community engagement to establish confidence and ensure that cloud computing may improve things without endangering patient rights and data security.
