Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current healthcare systems face challenges in seamlessly sharing medical data across different organizations due to incompatible data standards, proprietary formatting, and patient privacy concerns, leading to inefficient data transfer and reliance on physical media like CDs and DVDs.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that integrates medical data sets with associated information using cloud technology, identifying entitled users, and granting access through additional user information, thereby enabling automated and secure sharing of medical data sets across clinical workflows.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If direct access to databases within healthcare organizations is granted for data sharing, then data exchange efficiency is improved, but patient privacy security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cloud-based intermediary platform that acts as a mediator between healthcare organizations and external entities. This platform enables data sharing without direct database access by using standardized interfaces and protocols, thus maintaining security while improving exchange efficiency. The cloud platform processes and manages data requests, preventing unauthorized direct access to sensitive databases.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate databases with different standards are used for storing medical data and associated information, then data organization flexibility is improved, but data integration complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal cloud-based platform that can handle multiple data standards and formats simultaneously. The system provides standardized interfaces that work with various database types (HL7, DICOM, FHIR, etc.), enabling integration of disparate data sources without requiring changes to existing database structures. This universal approach maintains organizational flexibility while reducing integration complexity through standardized access methods.
3Measurement precision
If manual querying of multiple databases is performed to retrieve information for data sharing, then data accuracy is improved, but time consumption deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated self-service mechanisms where the cloud platform automatically queries multiple databases, retrieves relevant information, and assembles complete data packages without manual intervention. The system uses automated workflows to identify required data sources, extract information according to standardized protocols, and deliver integrated results, thereby maintaining data accuracy while dramatically reducing time consumption compared to manual processes.
4Reliability
If proprietary formatting is applied by equipment manufacturers and individual networks, then system-specific optimization is improved, but interoperability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter transformation techniques that convert proprietary data formats into standardized representations. The cloud platform includes format conversion capabilities that maintain the integrity and optimization characteristics of source systems while translating data into interoperable formats. This allows system-specific optimizations to be preserved locally while achieving seamless interoperability through standardized parameter representations in the cloud environment.

AI summary
The present invention is directed to a method for sharing medical data sets, with the steps of: receiving medical data sets from a medical system (10); receiving associated information from a database (20) separated from the medical system (10), wherein the associated information provides information associated to the medical data sets; uploading the medical data sets to a cloud platform (40); processing the associated information and the medical data sets to identify one or more entitled users (50), the entitled users being entitled to access a respective medical data set; retrieving additional user information of the entitled users (50); and granting the entitled users (50) access to the respective medical data set in the cloud platform (40) on the basis of the additional user information.
