Patent number: 10656796Abstract: In various embodiments, the predicted location of a user within an institutional space is associated with a node at or near that location, and a virtual desktop is prepared before a user has actually logged on and authenticated. Although users are not accorded access to applications and sensitive data until they have properly authenticated themselves, the virtual desktop and associated data are assembled and retrieved in the background in order to eliminate delay following log-on.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventor: Meinhard Dieter Ullrich
-
Patent number: 10642452Abstract: In various embodiments, authentication stations are distributed within a facility, particularly in spaces where mobile devices are predominantly used—e.g., a hospital's emergency department. Each such station includes a series of authentication devices. Mobile device may run applications for locating the nearest such station and, in some embodiments, pair wirelessly with the station so that authentication thereon will accord a user access to the desired resource via a mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventor: Meinhard Dieter Ullrich
-
Patent number: 10606451Abstract: The locations of electronic devices in an institutional facility are determined based on interaction with the wireless mobile devices of users who roam though the facility and interact with (or are detected by) the devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventor: Michael S. Saulnier
-
Patent number: 10542430Abstract: Representative embodiments of secure authentication to a resource in accordance with a predefined, electronically stored quorum-based authentication policy include causing electronic interaction among multiple devices that constitute a quorum in accordance with the policy, computationally determining whether the interaction satisfies the policy, and if so, electronically according access to the resource to one or more individuals associated with the interacting device(s).Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventors: Edward J. Gaudet, David M. T. Ting

Patent number: 10505930Abstract: Data and data requests of users of applications are filtered using a client-resident agent. A user profile may contain data pertaining to restrictions on content the user is permitted to view or types of requests the user is permitted to make. within one or more applications. Data in the user profile may be used to grant or deny access to applications, filter particular content from the user's view, or filter particular data requests made by the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2014Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventor: David M. T. Ting

Patent number: 10333980Abstract: Established user habits in carrying multiple wirelessly detectable devices are used to provide or substantiate authentication. In some embodiments, simply detecting that expected devices are co-located within a limited spatial region is sufficient to establish that the devices are being carried by a single individual. In other embodiments, particularly where the potential for spoofing by multiple individuals is a concern, single-user possession of the devices may be confirmed by various corroborative techniques. This approach affords convenience to users, who may be working at a device that lacks the necessary modality (e.g., a fingerprint or vein reader) for strong authentication.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventors: David M. T. Ting, Alain Slak, Kyle Vernest

Patent number: 10332625Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods automatically track the dynamic composition of a patient-care team by combining and harvesting information from at least two electronic audit trails: (1) a trail recording access to electronic medical records (EMR), e.g., read-access to patient data, electronic prescriptions and physician orders, etc., and (2) a trail recording electronic communications (email, text messages, etc.) regarding and referencing the patient.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: IMPRIVATA, INC.Inventors: David M. T. Ting, Eliot M. Rubinov, Mae-Ellen Gavin, Kyle Vernest, Roelf Kuitse

Patent number: 9251354Abstract: Transitions between users at shared workstations that permit access to private health information or other secure data may be handled, without incurring unnecessary delays due to shut-down of all applications used by the departing user, by selectively hiding applications with sensitive information on a shared desktop while allowing temporary system access for the interrupting user.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Imprivata, Inc.Inventors: David M.
