Claim 8:
9. A system for processing electronic images to preserve privacy while transferring data across regions, the system comprising:
at least one data storage device physically located within a first geographic region and storing instructions for providing cross-border health data transfer while preserving first patient privacy; and
at least one processor physically located within the first geographic region and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving patient-specific data including first patient privacy information at the data storage device within the first geographic region in compliance with privacy standards specific to the first geographic region;
removing the first patient privacy information from the patient-specific data to generate a first set of anonymous health data, based on the privacy standards specific to the first geographic region;
storing the first patient privacy information within the data storage device within the first geographic region, the first patient privacy information being stored using a storage entity separate from a permanent storage at a second geographic region;
transmitting the first set of anonymous health data to a remote data analysis server physically located within the second geographic region for a patient-specific computation based on the first set of anonymous health data, the second geographic region being distinct from and outside the first geographic region;
prompting generation of an anatomical model of a patient based on the first set of anonymous health data and conducting the patient-specific computation through the generated anatomical model, at the remote data analysis server physically located within the second geographic region;
determining a patient-specific blood flow computation in the patient based on the generated anatomical model and a mass or a volume of a myocardial tissue of the patient;
receiving analyzed anonymous health data from the remote data analysis server physically located within the second geographic region, the analyzed anonymous health data including results of a patient-specific blood flow computation calculated at an earlier date and stored in the permanent storage; and
identifying a patient associated with the generated anatomical model by determining, at the processor within the first geographic region, first patient privacy information associated with the analyzed anonymous health data based on the first patient privacy information stored in the data storage device within the first geographic region and the patient-specific blood flow computation stored in the permanent storage, wherein the first patient privacy information is inaccessible at the second geographic region.
