Patent ID: 11887705

Abstract:
A computerized system and method to allow patient to control and provide a safe, secure and efficient real-time access to the patient's private health records (PHR) stored in the encrypted uniform format in a Private Health Vault (PHV) database. The system utilizes patient's private encryption key for encrypting and decrypting PHR stored in the PHV. The patient (or patient's appointed agent) controls access to the PHR and authorizes by electronic communications with the PHV server to allow doctors to have access to the centrally maintained and structured medical data in the PHV. The access can be limited in duration.The patient's private keys may be stored in a remote Key Bank database, separately form the PHV database, and the location of the patient's PHV data may also require transmission of the location id from a separate Mapping server. Additional security is provided by determining digital proximity of the doctor's and patient's mobile devices to the node device in the doctor's office, and terminating access upon set condition. It also utilizes 2-way digital token or id exchange and confirmation between the patent and doctor, as well as digital authentication for access and identity verification. The centralized PHV stores patient data more efficiently and prevents unauthorized use of the patient data by separating the key(s) needed to decrypt patient data from the actual patient records in the PHV.
