Abstract
The recent decade has seen considerable changes in the way the technology interacts with human lives and almost all the aspects of life be it personal or professional has been touched by technology. Many smart devices have also started playing a vital role in many fields and domains and the internet of things (IoT) has been the harbinger of the advent of IoT devices. IoT devices have proven to be monumental in imparting ‘smartness' in the otherwise static machines. The ability of the devices to interact and transfer the data to the internet and ultimately to the end-user has revolutionized the technological world and has brought many seemingly disparate fields in the technological purview. Out of the many fields where IoT has started gaining momentum, one of the most important ones is the healthcare sector. Many wearable smart devices have been developed over time capable to transmit real-time data to hospitals and doctors. It is essential for tracking the progress of the critically ill patients and has opened the horizon for attending patients remotely using these smart devices.

Community Cloud: Closing the Gap between Public and Private
Software as a Service is a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider. They are made available to customers over a network (the Internet). SaaS lets companies use software tools without having to install, operate and maintain them on premises, freeing customers to concentrate on creating business functions and value. Organizations can potentially start using software more quickly than waiting for the installation of on premises software. The SaaS approach enables them to expand their systems as usage grows without having to make any capital-equipment purchases. SaaS can be a good choice when there’s little or no budget money available for buying software and related hardware. Overall SaaS costs will depend on the amount of usage tools get. SaaS can stand for at least three different “as-a-service” offerings. The original use of the acronym was to refer to Software as a Service (described above). The term has since been used in reference to Storage as a Service and Security as a Service.
