I recently decided to fulfill my deepest desire: having scene transition music from "Seinfeld" play any time my front door opened. I figured it would be simple enough—just connect a door sensor and locally stored MP3s to a smart speaker, and Bob's your uncle, right? Yeah, no. I massively underestimated the complexity of getting different bits of tech to talk to each other.

Thus, customers forego the cost of an infrastructure when they move service providers to the cloud, and more funds go into patient care. But SaaS solutions also have to confront a set of security problems based on the fact that health data is highly sensitive and confidential.
