Abstract: A method for securing patient medical information for communication over a potentially vulnerable system includes separating patient's medical file into a demographics layer and a data layer, separately encrypting the demographic layer and data layer using different encryption keys, and providing servers in a communication and processing system with a decryption key for the layer processed by such server. Medical file data may be separated into more than two layers. Users accessing the system are authenticated using standard techniques. By separately encrypting different parts of a patient medical record, processing and communication of patient medical files by intermediary servers is enabled without risking disclosure of sensitive patient information if such servers are compromised.

Abstract: A method for remotely reviewing medical data allows medical data to be transmitted to a physician's mobile device from where they are stored or collected. The method sends data to be transmitted through a console, and a data server to reach the mobile device. After reviewing the data, physicians may then transmit their comments from their mobile device to the requestor by going through the same system. This is accomplished while maintaining patient privacy according to applicable laws by using encryption and authentication methods. The method further notifies users of messages or data awaiting review along with the urgency of the required review are also described. The process of capturing a users' response, upload the response to the server, and distribute such information to one or more consoles and databases are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for remotely reviewing medical data allows medical data to be transmitted to a physician's mobile device from where they are stored or collected. The system includes a console, a data server and at least one mobile device, although the data server may be a software component within the console. The system may further include medical imaging equipment, medical records databases, and other sensors and servers. Medical data is routed through the console to the data server to reach the mobile device via a wireless network. After reviewing the data, physicians may transmit their comments from their mobile device to the requester by going through the same system. The data server may further include a resident messaging system that communicates to the mobile device such that the user is notified of messages or data awaiting review along with the urgency of the required review are also described.
