Azure Health Data Services
Azure Health Data Services is Microsoft’s suite for handling protected health information in the cloud. It provides purpose-built technologies specifically designed to manage PHI workflows, ensuring data stays compliant and secure within the Azure ecosystem. The service focuses on the unique requirements of healthcare data rather than general storage or processing tasks.
This setup suits organizations already committed to the Azure platform who need specialized tools for medical data. The main drawback is the lack of a free tier, meaning every operation incurs costs from the start. You pay on a pay-as-you-go basis, so there is no zero-cost option to test or prototype before committing to production usage.
