Abstract: A method for securely relaying personal data between a telemedicine device and a remote terminal via a proxy server includes establishing a communication link between the telemedicine device and the proxy server over a first communication network. A request, including authentication access data, is received from a remote terminal for a remote user to assess personal data of a telemedicine device user. Upon validating the authentication access data to approve access to the personal data on the telemedicine device by the remote user, the personal data is relayed between the telemedicine device and the remote terminal in a remote assess session while preventing secure personal data of the telemedicine device user from being sent to the proxy server. If the telemedicine device communicates over a second communication network, the communication link is re-established with the proxy server over the second communication network without terminating the remote access session.
