Abstract: A data analysis system for performing an analytic to obtain an analytic result in a computing device having memory including a data analyzer interface, at least one interlocking trees datastore within the associated memory, and at least one analytic application executed. The data analysis system of the invention also includes a plurality of interlocking trees datastores wherein the at least one interlocking trees datastore is selected from the plurality of interlocking trees datastores in accordance with the data analyzer interface. The system can include a plurality of data sources wherein the at least one interlocking trees datastore is created from a data source selected from the plurality of data sources in accordance with the data analyzer interface. The at least one interlocking trees datastore further can be a static interlocking trees datastore or a dynamic interlocking trees datastore. The at least one interlocking trees datastore continuously records new data.

Abstract: A network for mediating the peer-to-peer transfer of digital patient medical data includes a plurality of distributed agents each associated with a health care provider and connected to a central system. Periodically the agents collect local information relating to patient medical files and/or data streams, for example diagnostic images and associated reports, and process that information into metadata files acting as pointers to the original files. The metadata files are transmitted to the central system where they are parsed and the attributes are stored on the central system in patient records with records from the same patient grouped together whenever possible. Registered users can search the central system, even in the absence of a unique identifier, to identify patient records pointing to the remote patient medical files.
