Abstract: A medical data governance system records, secures, and provides appropriate access to all patient data. By concentrating all available relevant medical data into a single source and providing a subset of data to each receiving subsystem with the correct source and time reference, the medical data governance system becomes the true source of data and guarantees the data consistency through the use of block chain signatures. A data recovery scheme allows for missing or incomplete data to be sourced from any server to which patient data is sent, even data sourced from a remote location.

Abstract: A comprehensive health care data management system is provided. In an embodiment, a Medical Data Governance System records, secures, and provides appropriate access to all patient data. By concentrating all available relevant medical data into a single source, and providing a subset of data to each receiving subsystem with the correct source and time reference, the Medical Data Governance System becomes the True Source of Data and guarantees the data consistency through the use of block chain signatures. In another aspect of the invention, a system of servers is provided, which communicate data in real time with white boards stationed in the operating rooms of a healthcare facility. Medical personnel and healthcare facility staff members can view the formatted data on a white board and input new or revised data directly on the white board or at an input station near the white board.

Abstract: A customized active dongle plus cable arrangement is used to show combined and time synchronized data from different medical devices in realtime or from a specified point in time on a connected medical grade standard display monitor. The active cable arrangement of the invention is capable of communicating with a plurality of legacy and third-party medical devices via their designed physical and proprietary semantic protocols. Using the active cable arrangement, the user has the sensation of “plug and play”, by simply connecting the medical device to the monitor USB port (or to the USB hub extending the monitor USB port). The active cable arrangement of the invention transforms the proprietary protocol of the medical device, providing the monitor with standardized output for data, waveforms, alarms, setting, notifications, values and other useful information.

Abstract: Methods and devices for retrieving data from a variety of devices, such as biomedical devices, are disclosed. In an embodiment, a communications path is established between a device manager and a device configured to collect data from a patient. A device type associated with the device is detected. Based on the device type, connections settings required to exchange data between the device manager and the device are requested from a first server. A patient identifier is also obtained. The patient identifier is sent to a second server, which may be the same as the first server. Verification of the patient identifier is received at the device manager from the second server. Data is then received at the device manager from the device. Upon receipt, the data is either stored in a storage or the data is sent via an encrypted communication channel to a server for data format conversion.
