  • Publication number: 20230385450
    Abstract: A method to manage exposure of confidential user information in a user data record to a third party, the method comprising providing an electronic record system managed by a server arrangement, the server arrangement being configured to interact with a user device associated with the user, implementing with the server arrangement a data privacy configurator including a GUI allowing the user at the user device to specify data access parameters, the data access parameters distinguishing between first data in the user data record that the user is willing to expose to a third party from second data in the user data record that the user is not willing to expose to the third party, in response to a request received at the server arrangement to communicate user data from the user data record to the third party, processing the user data record according to the data access parameters to allow the third party to access the first data while precluding the third party to access the second data.

  • Publication number: 20210343382
    Abstract: A patient-centric electronic health record (EHR) system is provided. The patient-centric EHR system allows for a patient to have centralized storage of his/his health records. The health records associated with the patient may be obtained from multiple sources in an EHR network, where the EHR network comprises multiple nodes storing health records associated with the patient. By obtaining the health records associated with the patient from multiple sources allows for a patient to have a centralized storage of his/her health records. Also, a centralized storage of health records associated with a patient also allows for the patient to have certain level of control over his/his health records, such as providing his/her health records to a third-party.

  • Publication number: 20160259893
    Abstract: A network server arrangement including a processor with a machine readable storage encoded with software for execution by the processor. The network server arrangement is responsive to requests to access a medical record of an individual and generates summary medical record data including summary information having a plurality of data elements associated with the individual, at least one of the data elements conveying medical information about the individual, and a pointers component including at least one pointer pointing to a network location containing importable medical information in connection with the individual that is not contained in the summary information component. The pointer includes a machine readable address part for processing by the client, allowing the client to import the medical information from the network location, and a label part for displaying to a user the nature of the medical information residing at the network location.

  • Patent number: 7734656
    Abstract: A method for conducting genetic research on medical data. The method includes the step of accessing a database storing a plurality of medical records associated with a plurality of individuals, each medical record including at least one unique identifier associated with a certain individual and medical data associated with the certain individual. The method also includes the steps of extracting from the database the medical data associated with at least a subset of the plurality of individuals and, for each individual of the subset, obtaining electronically stored genetic data associated with the respective unique identifier. Also, the method includes processing the extracted medical data and obtained genetic data for attempting to identify an association between particular genetic data and a particular medical condition.

  • Patent number: 6775670
    Abstract: The present invention provides a network system for storage of medical records. The records are stored in a database on a server. Each record includes two main parts, namely a collection of data elements containing information of medical nature for the certain individual, and a plurality of pointers providing addresses or remote locations where reside other medical data for that particular individual. Each record also includes a data element indicative of the basic type of medical data found at the location pointed Lo by a particular pointer. This arrangement permits a client workstation to download the record along with the set of pointers which link the client Lo the remotely stored files. The identification of the basic type of information that each pointer points to allows the physician to select the ones of interest and thus avoid downloading massive amounts of data where only part of that data is needed at that time.
