Abstract

Healthcare object management systems and methods are presented. Health Object Identifiers (HOI) representative of healthcare object (e.g., medical records, data, etc.) can be derived from biometric data associated with a patient. HOIs can resolve to a network location where the healthcare object can be accessed. Biometric data, or other types of object data, can be exchanged among computing devices and the healthcare object. On exemplary use of HOIs includes self assembling personal data records as sensor data is obtained.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer based health object identifier (HOI) management system, comprising:
a biometric interface configured to acquire biometric data associated with a patient, the biometric data comprising medical sensor data, the biometric interface comprising a computing device having at least one sensor;
a conversion module coupled with the biometric interface and configured to identify a patient-specific health object identifier (HOI) comprising a patient identifier portion as a prefix portion and an object identifier portion as a suffix portion, where the patient identifier portion is specific to the patient and the object identifier portion is specific to a medical record of the patient to contain the medical sensor data, the patient identifier portion being at least in part derived from the biometric data, the object identifier portion being at least in part derived from the medical sensor data, wherein the patient-specific HOI forms a single address defined by the prefix and suffix portions and that is resolvable to a unique network location via a domain name server; and
a HOI resolution engine coupled with the conversion module and configured to, upon receipt of the patient-specific HOI from the computing device, resolve the patient-specific HOI to an object location over a network at the unique network location based on the single address defined by the prefix and suffix portions;
wherein the computing device writes the medical sensor data to the object location in real-time when the medical sensor data is acquired to auto-assemble the medical record of the patient.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biometric data comprises a digital representation of a portion of the patient.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the portion of the patient includes at least one of the following: a face, a fingerprint, an iris, a vital sign, a voice, and a brain signal.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device comprises a mobile device.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the mobile device comprises a mobile phone.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the mobile device comprises a vehicle.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises at least one of the following types of sensors: a light sensor, a bio-sensor, an audio sensor, a pressure sensor, a perfusion sensor, and a heart sensor.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the object location resolves to at least one of a personal area network location, an internet location, a memory location, and a storage location.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the HOI resolution engine resides within a mobile device.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the HOI resolution engine comprises a distal server.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the HOI comprises at least one of the following: a domain name, a digital object identifier, a URL, a unique identifier, a protocol, and a link.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the object identifier portion is further at least in part derived from at least one of the following: a bar-code, an RFID tag, an alpha-numeric string, a logo, metadata, and a symbol.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein said conversion module is further configured to instantiate a virtual machine to securely store medical sensor data, where the characteristics of the virtual machine are determined, at least in part, by the derived HOI.

14. The system of claim 1 , said conversion module further configured to instantiate a virtual machine to process the medical sensor data, wherein the characteristics of the virtual machine are determined, at least in part, by the derived HOI.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein said biometric interface further comprises a memory for storing the medical sensor data in an encrypted format.

16. The system of claim 1 wherein said object identifier portion is further at least in part derived from sensor identification information.

17. The system of claim 1 wherein the medical sensor data is selected from the group consisting of perfusion sensor data, brain wave sensor data, heart rate sensor data, thermometer data, EKG data, and movement sensor data.

18. The system of claim 1 wherein the single address is a URL, and the prefix is a domain name of the URL.

19. The system of claim 1 wherein the patient identifier portion includes a vector of image features.

20. The system of claim 1 wherein the conversion module derives the object identifier portion from metadata of the biometric data that describes the source of the biometric data.

21. The system of claim 1 wherein the computing device submits the medical sensor data to the conversion module using an API.

22. A method of assembling a personal data record over a computer based network, comprising:
providing at least one sensor configured to acquire biometric data associated with a patient, the biometric data comprising medical sensor data;
providing a sensor hub coupled with at least one sensor;
deriving a patient-specific health object identifier (HOI) corresponding to the patient based on the biometric data wherein said patient-specific HOT comprises a patient identifier portion as a prefix portion that is specific to the patient and an object identifier portion as a suffix portion that is specific to a medical record of the patient to contain the medical sensor data, the patient identifier portion being at least in part derived from the biometric data, the object identifier portion being at least in part derived from the medical sensor data, wherein the patient-specific HOI forms a single address defined by the prefix and suffix portions and that is resolvable to a unique network location via a domain name server;
resolving the patient-specific HOI to an object location over a network at the unique network location based on the single address defined by the prefix and suffix portions; and
writing the medical sensor data to the object location specified by the patient-specific HOI over the network in real-time when the medical sensor data is acquired to auto-assemble the medical record of the patient.

23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the HOI comprises at least one of the following: a domain name, a digital object identifier, a URL, a unique identifier, a protocol, and a link.

24. The method of claim 22 , where the step of providing a sensor hub comprises providing a mobile phone.

25. The method of claim 22 , further comprising storing the medical sensor data in a secured container within a memory of the sensor hub.

26. The method of claim 22 , wherein the step of writing the medical sensor data includes exchanging the medical sensor data over at least one of the following networks: a personal area network, a local area network, a wide area network, the Internet, and a wireless network.

27. The method of claim 22 further comprising the step of securely storing the medical sensor data for processing by instantiating a virtual machine where the characteristics of the virtual machine are determined, at least in part, by the derived HOI.

28. The method of claim 22 further comprising the step of storing the medical sensor data in an encrypted format.

29. A non-transitory computer readable medium on which are stored instructions executable by a processor to perform operations for assembling a personal data record, the operations comprising:
