Biomedical Clouds will interact wit hmedical centres and hospitals providing personalized medicine, as well as researchers and the general public. The blue cloud represents publicly accessible data, whilst pink is used for data that are controlled and have limited access, because of the presence of protected health information, whole human genomes and similar data. Data production may come from many sources, including private and public. There will be multiple Biomedical Clouds associated with medical centers and hospitals that contain controlled data, and these private Biomedical Clouds will be able to ingest data from public Biomedical Clouds. Private clouds may also provide data for research studies via de-identified data sets to public clouds and controlled data to clouds designed to hold such data.
