  • Patent number: 11410754
    Abstract: A method to prevent conflict during synchronization of medical data between a cloud repository on a cloud server and a plurality of local repositories on a plurality of local servers of healthcare facilities connected to the cloud server is provided. The plurality of local servers includes a first local server and the plurality of local repositories includes a first local repository on the first local server. The method includes, in response to a connection between the first local server and the cloud server getting disconnected, causing the first local server to: access the first local repository instead of the cloud repository, determine whether local data is associated with a shared patient registered with more than one healthcare facility among the healthcare facilities connected to the cloud server, and prohibit alteration of the local data if the local data is associated with the shared patient.

  • Patent number: 11265377
    Abstract: A method to exchange medical data between a cloud repository on a cloud server and a plurality of local repositories on a plurality of local servers connected to the cloud server. The plurality of local servers comprises a first local server and the plurality of local repositories comprises a first local repository on the first local server. The method includes, causing the first local server to: transmit an image retrieval request to the cloud server, receive the medical image generated by the cloud server or an instruction from the cloud server to generate the medical image locally, and display the generated medical image on a display. The image retrieval request causes the cloud server to determine whether raw image data associated with the image retrieval request is stored in the cloud repository or locally in the first local repository.
