Abstract—This paper focuses on the e-Healthcare application cloud-enabling characteristics as we uncover the close proximity of the new e-Healthcare architecture and the cloud environment. However there are still challenges in adaptation of a pure cloud solution for digital e-Healthcare. This paper documents those similar characteristics and the new challenges. It also introduces our adaptation architecture design for e-Healthcare Cloud Computing and Networking Solutions.
