Abstract: User interface methods and systems are provided for interfacing with a plurality of objects in three-dimensional virtual environment providing for a medical imaging workspace. A method includes identifying one of a plurality of objects arranged in a three-dimensional virtual medical imaging workspace as a user-intended contextual selection based on detected gaze tracking information and establishing a command context based on the identified object. The command context comprises voice-activated commands, gesture-activated commands, or a combination thereof. The method further includes activating an object-specific action based on a detected voice or gesture command.

Abstract: A device, system, and method creates an operative personal health record (PHR). The PHR server maintains the PHR of an owner, the PHR including a plurality of sections, one of the sections being an aggregated section including a plurality of subsections, one of the subsections corresponding to a health care entity. The method includes receiving a retrieval input from the owner of the PHR, the retrieval input identifying the health care entity from which information is to be requested. The method includes generating a request for the information. The method includes transmitting the request to the health care entity. The method includes receiving the information from the health care entity. The method includes including the information in the subsection of the aggregated section in the PHR corresponding to the health care entity.

Abstract: When transferring a patient's medical records or other healthcare data, an authentication module (201) receives user identification information and authenticates a user. A data service (300) receives a request for healthcare data of the user from a potential recipient, transmits to the user an electronic consent form, and receives from the user a completed electronic consent form with selected healthcare data and one or more selected data recipient information entered therein. The data service requests a confirmation from a messaging service of user approval for the transfer of the selected healthcare data, receives the confirmation from the messaging service, and transmits the selected healthcare data to the one or more selected recipients. The healthcare data can be partitioned according to one or more metrics so that the user can authorize transfer of all or a portion of the user's data.
