Alibaba and Partners will Build Cloud Hospital in China
April 24, 2015 at 04:17 AM EDT
Aliyun, the cloud computing subsidiary of China's on-line giant Alibaba, will work with two other China companies to build China's first cloud hospital. While the combination of a virtual company and the very physical world of hospitals may seem contradictory, the new hospital will initially use the cloud for fairly mundane purposes: setting up patients' appointments and making payments, though the system will also facilitate the use of "big data"in healthcare. DHC Software will develop the cloud hospital platform, which will be marketed by Xi'an International Medical Investment. More details.... Stock Symbol: (NYSE: BABA) Share this with colleagues: // //
