Abstract

The invention relates generally to systems and methods for a medical data marketplace where de-identified medical data can be offered for sale or licensing, and prospective customers can search for the medical data using various criteria. The marketplace facilitates clinical research activities, clinical trials, medical research, medical technology development, and the like, while preserving HIPPA privacy protections, and allows medical data owners to monetize the data in an efficient manner.

Core Innovation

The invention provides a medical data marketplace system in which a database stores a plurality of de-identified medical data sets, where each de-identified medical data set is owned by a different data owner. The system includes a server coupled to the database and programming instructions that cause a processor to generate an interface for customer search requests. The interface allows a customer to submit at least one criteria selected from modality type, equipment manufacturer, body part, study description, protocol name, requested procedure description, scheduled procedure step description, and a keyword.

The processor receives the search request from the interface, queries the database using the criteria, retrieves at least one matching medical data set, and displays the at least one matching medical data set on the interface. The system facilitates a financial transaction related to the at least one matching medical data set between a respective data owner and the customer. The marketplace structure supports controlled access to de-identified medical datasets via search, display, and transaction handling.

In another aspect, the system provides a marketplace for diagnostic image sets by storing a plurality of diagnostic image sets in which each diagnostic image set is owned by a different data owner. The system performs a de-identification process on each diagnostic image set to generate de-identified diagnostic image sets and supports the same type of customer interface for submitting search criteria, querying, displaying matching de-identified image sets, and facilitating a financial transaction between a data owner and the customer.

Claims Coverage

The document provides three independent claims. Across these claims, the coverage centers on a server-and-database marketplace for de-identified medical data sets or de-identified diagnostic image sets that supports customer search via specified criteria, displays matching results, and facilitates financial transactions between data owners and customers.

Medical data marketplace with de-identified datasets owned by different data owners

A database storing a plurality of de-identified medical data sets, wherein each de-identified medical data set is owned by a different data owner; a server coupled to the database; and programming instructions to generate an interface that allows a customer to submit a search request and to facilitate a financial transaction related to matching medical data sets between the respective data owner and the customer.

Customer search using selectable medical data criteria in a marketplace interface

Generate an interface that allows a customer to submit a search request that includes at least one criteria selected from modality type, equipment manufacturer, body part, study description, protocol name, requested procedure description, scheduled procedure step description, and keyword; receive the search request; query the database using the criteria to retrieve at least one matching medical data set; and display the matching medical data set on the interface.

De-identification of diagnostic image sets for marketplace delivery

A database storing a plurality of diagnostic image sets, wherein each diagnostic image set is owned by a different data owner; perform a de-identification process on each diagnostic image set to generate a plurality of de-identified diagnostic image sets; generate an interface for customer search using criteria selected from modality type, equipment manufacturer, body part, study description, protocol name, requested procedure description, scheduled procedure step description, and keyword; query the database to retrieve at least one matching diagnostic image set; display the at least one matching diagnostic image set; and facilitate a financial transaction related to the matching diagnostic image set between the respective data owner and the customer.

Overall claim coverage is directed to a medical data marketplace architecture that stores de-identified medical data sets or de-identified diagnostic image sets owned by different data owners, provides a customer interface for submitting search requests using defined criteria sets, retrieves and displays matching results, and facilitates a financial transaction between data owners and customers.

Stated Advantages

Supports controlled access to de-identified medical data sets via customer search, display, and financial transaction handling.

Facilitates financial transactions related to matching de-identified medical data sets between data owners and customers.
