E-Health is referred to the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to the wide range of issues affecting the health care field. For example this may include the process starting with the registration and the diagnosis, to patients' follow-up as well as the organizational management related to each of these activities. From a citizen' viewpoint, e-Health provides considerable advantages related to information personalization which in some cases can include alternative diagnoses. From a health professional's viewpoint, e-Health refers to the actual improved access to relevant information, which, for example, can be directly associated with major medical journals and associations, electronic prescribing and overall accessibility to patients' personalized health information by ease of access to Medical Records (MR). However, current solutions do not provide real time access to such MRs especially in cases of emergency such as accidents. Therefore, in this paper, we present a new solution for e-Health, named KAU-Health; KAU-Health is a new system based on cloud computing which allows hospital users to interact in real time, and obtain critical information, which is crucial for immediate decisions making.
