Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare

Azure Health Data Services is a managed platform as a service (PaaS) based on OpenAPI standards and frameworks that enable more secure and scalable health data solutions. Azure Health Data Services empowers Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and other health workloads by enabling more secure and compliant paths to ingest, persist, and connect health data in the cloud.

In this Learning Path, you’ll gain a foundational understanding of Azure Health Data Services and its core components. You'll be guided through use cases as you explore interoperability challenges of health and life sciences data, examine the tools and connectors of Azure Health Data Services and their benefits, review the data architecture of FHIR® and the details of how the FHIR API is implemented, explore the DICOM® standards and DICOM® service using the use case for radiology data in cancer treatment and how to enable IoT data scenarios for remote patient monitoring.

Azure Health Data Services is a managed platform as a service (PaaS) based on OpenAPI standards and frameworks that enable more secure and scalable health data solutions. Azure Health Data Services empowers Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and other health workloads by enabling more secure and compliant paths to ingest, persist, and connect health data in the cloud. Azure Health Data Services is a set of tools and connectors that enable organizations to bring health data to the Microsoft Cloud and improve health through insights.

This module covers the data architecture of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) and the details of how the FHIR API is implemented in the FHIR service in Azure Health Data Services.

DICOM® (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the international standard for medical images, imaging formats, and related information. It's the ISO 12052 standard that defines the data quality and exchange specifications for images to meet clinical use requirements. Digitization of medical imaging data by using the DICOM standard will enable health data interoperability. Microsoft cloud is equipped to ingest, persist, and connect DICOM imaging data to help improve patient outcomes.

In this module, you'll learn how to enable IoT data scenarios for remote patient monitoring.
