Abstract

A system may include a first network in which user device(s) and a HIP server are communicably coupled. The first network may include a secure data administrator, such as a medical data system, that stores secure data. In some implementations, at least one of the user devices may include a web module and communicate with a web server through a second network. At least one of the user device may be restricted from communicating with the secure data administrator, so the user device may request data stored in the secure data administrator through the HIP server. The user device may base the requests for the data on information received from the web server.

Core Innovation

The invention provides an image-icon driven diagnostic interface in which a user selects one or more image icons to automatically prepare one or more diagnoses of test results. The diagnostic interfaces are generated by an application web server in response to a request from a web module of a first user device and are presented on the first user device.

The invention associates user selections with reference information and with presentation of secure medical data on a medical data presentation module. In response to receiving selected image icons, reference information is retrieved from a database indexed based on relationships to the icons and is presented on the first user device via the diagnostic interfaces through the application web server.

A secure data architecture controls access to secure data while allowing secure data administrator-driven presentation. The application web server is restricted from directly accessing secure data, and the medical data presentation module and the secure data administrator are restricted from accepting incoming communication initiated by the application web server and the web module; a HIP module determines that the key is valid, translates the instructions, and transmits translated instructions so the secure data administrator can push secure data to the medical data presentation module for presentation.

Claims Coverage

The partial content includes two independent claims. The independent claims share three inventive features centered on image-icon diagnostic interfaces, application web server generation of interfaces for a first user device, and key-based HIP instruction exchange for secure data presentation.

Image-icon diagnostic interfaces that prepare diagnoses from test results

One or more diagnostic interfaces provide image icons, and selection of a portion of the image icons automatically prepares one or more diagnoses of test results.

Application web server generating diagnostic interfaces for a first user device

An application web server residing on an external network external to a first network generates, in response to a request from a web module of the first user device, one or more diagnostic interfaces to be presented on the first user device.

Secure data access via restricted application web server and HIP module key-based instruction exchange

The application web server is restricted from directly accessing secure data, and the medical data presentation module and the secure data administrator are restricted from accepting incoming communication initiated by the application web server and the web module; a HIP module determines that the key is valid, translates the instructions, and transmits translated instructions such that the secure data administrator can push secure data to the medical data presentation module for presentation.

Across the independent claims, the inventive subject matter centers on image-icon diagnostic interfaces that prepare diagnoses of test results upon selection, combined with a secure data access workflow in which the application web server is restricted from direct access to secure data and a HIP module uses key-based instruction validation and translation to enable a secure data administrator to push secure data for presentation.

Stated Advantages

Enables secure data to be presented on a medical data presentation module while preventing the application web server from directly accessing the secure data.

Allows the secure data administrator to push secure data for presentation based on processing of translated, key-validated instructions.

Documented Applications

Accessing and presenting diagnostic interfaces for medical diagnostics, where selectable image icons automatically prepare diagnoses of test results.

Image-based medical diagnostic systems using diagnostic GUIs with photographic image icons, including reference-information retrieval indexed to selected icons, template-based automatic report generation, and metrics tracking for outcomes and follow-up test results.
