Healthcare Identity Credentials for Private Data Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in efficiently verifying and managing private information, particularly in healthcare settings, due to interoperability issues among different data providers, vulnerability to fake AI-generated data, and security and privacy concerns when aggregating sensitive information.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows entities to self-report private information, generating credentials or tokens that guarantee identity, which are stored on a blockchain for immutability and can be transferred between systems, ensuring data privacy and reducing processing resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If private information is collected and analyzed by pre-processors to determine data quality, then data quality can be assessed, but data privacy and security issues arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary verification function from the pre-processor, separating identity verification from comprehensive data analysis. The credential system allows verification of private information without requiring pre-processors to collect and analyze all private data, thus maintaining data quality assessment while reducing privacy and security risks.
Solution Approach 2:
The credential acts as an intermediary between the health provider and the pre-processor. Instead of the pre-processor directly accessing and analyzing private information, the credential serves as a verified token that proves identity without exposing the underlying private data, thereby maintaining security while enabling verification.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data providers are involved in healthcare data sharing, then comprehensive care can be achieved, but interoperability issues occur
Solution Approach 1:
The credential system provides a universal verification mechanism that works across different healthcare applications and data providers. The same credential structure can be verified by multiple applications without requiring application-specific verification logic, thereby improving interoperability while keeping the verification mechanism relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the verification process into independent components: the health provider issues credentials based on their private information, and different applications independently verify these credentials. This segmentation allows each component to operate independently, improving interoperability without increasing overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If credentials are stored in a credential store to verify identity, then identity verification is enabled, but processing resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The credential is issued and stored in advance during the onboarding process, before the actual verification is needed. This preliminary action allows rapid verification during service usage without consuming additional processing resources for credential generation or storage, as the credential is already prepared and cached in the credential store.
Data Source
AI summary
A system can include one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a selection of at least one type of private information of a plurality of types of private information of a health provider from a computing system of the health provider. The instructions can cause the one or more processors to receive private information of the type from the computing system. The instructions can cause the one or more processors to issue a credential that guarantees an identify of the health provider based on the type selected and a verification of the private information. The instructions can cause the one or more processors to add the credential to a credential store of the computing system, the credential store to verify the identity of the health provider with a plurality of applications.
