This chapter presents a secure mHealth application which is based on hybrid cloud architecture combined with cryptographic techniques to protect data privacy, integrity and security of patients and health care givers and with role based access control to authenticate and authorize cloud users. Hybrid cloud platform combines the advantages of both the private cloud which guarantees privacy and safety of data and the public cloud which provides a platform for reduced services costs. Integrating cryptography and role based access control with hybrid cloud computing ensures the safety of patients’ medical records and enables user authentication and authorization for access control. This integrated technology can provide mHealth care the required safety and privacy to flourish.
