Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, for a user, first user authentication information for a first authentication method and receiving, for the user, second user authentication information for a second authentication method. The second authentication method is different from the first authentication method. Upon authenticating the first user authentication information and the second user authentication information, the method moves a subset of data stored on a back-end storage device to a front-end storage device. The front-end storage device is directly connected to the user via a network and the back-end storage device not being directly connected to the network. The method then allows access to the subset of data for a period of time, wherein after the period of time expires, the subset of data is removed from the front-end storage device.

Abstract: A system and method for protecting sensitive information, for example, a user's personal information, stored on a database where the information is accessible via a communications network such as the Internet. An exemplary embodiment stores the sensitive information on an off-line server. The off-line server is connected to an on-line server. The on-line server is connected to the user via the Internet. The user interfaces with the on-line server, and at a scheduled time window, the sensitive information is made available to the on-line server by the off-line server. Outside of the time window, none of the sensitive information is kept on the on-line server. Thus by placing the sensitive information on-line for only limited periods of time the risk of compromise to the sensitive information is greatly reduced.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for the management of a patient's medical records by a central data repository under the direction of the patient and enabled by an entity managing records on behalf of the patient. Medical records from a plurality of the patient's healthcare providers, including past and present healthcare providers, are maintained in this central repository in a way that provides a centralized, comprehensive, and accessible medical history of the patient, as well as a comprehensive organizational structure across all records. An embodiment has the patient directed central repository as the hub in a hub-and-spoke arrangement, where each spoke goes to one of the patient's healthcare providers, both past and present. The patient's medical records are collected from all the patient's healthcare providers, then classified, stored, and organized for use by the patient, healthcare providers, and any other authorized individuals.
