Some of these new methods harness distributed computing capabilities to integrate biometric abstraction processes, wireless network connectivity, and specialized software for mediation, to produce a unified result set. A mediator that enables rapid health care support is used in a computer system having a database of information to be shared with authorized requesters, under privacy rules or other pre-defined constraints. The methods, using specialized software for mediation, are preferably enabled to process a securely transmitted remote data request as a query to verify or identify an individual, whether it is sent via a network that is wireless in any part, or not. Upon receiving a remote request, typically sent by a requesting application other than one operated by the individual who is the subject of the request, the mediator uses the individual's transformed biometric data of the request to rapidly advance query resolution, under all query preprocessing rules, and query results post-processing rules, that apply.
