Consider a simplified medical database that stores

1. Patients’ demographic information, such as name, date of birth, address, phone, etc.
2. Patients’ medical office visits, such as date, doctor’s name and specialty, and diagnosis
3. Patients’ data coming from lab tests, wearable devices (e.g., heart rate monitor), doctor’s notes, etc.

To support easy access to the database, the medical office decided to store and manage the data on the cloud. In addition to the typical medical office use, they also want to create two applications:

1. Use machine learning to assign patients to the appropriate specialist
2. Use a real-time application that processes incoming wearable medical device data and issues an emergency warning if there is a health risk

Select a cloud architecture, like MS Azure, and describe how migrating the database and the applications to the cloud impacts the database design (e.g., structures, stream, text, etc.), security and privacy needs, and data provenance. Note, this is a simplified example, so do not go into details.

Elaborate on the privacy risk for the patients based on the machine learning application.
