Building a cloud-based data sharing model for the Saudi national registry for implantable medical devices: Results of a readiness assessment

Registries play a major role in monitoring the effectiveness of implantable biomedical devices. National standardized policies, enforced regulations, and information technology infrastructure are needed to achieve this goal. Furthermore, due to differences in hospital readiness, building a cloud-based registry system through manual data entry into the IMDR was found to be the most appropriate data sharing model that can be implemented at the national level.
