A image server system comprising:

• one or more processors and a non-transitory memory configured to store software instructions, wherein, when executed by the one or more processors, the software instructions are configured to cause the one or more processors to:
• access medical data having a plurality of components;
• access one or more user-defined rules indicating user preferences for formatting and transmitting the plurality of components of the medical data;
• determining a medical data component type associated with a component of the plurality of components of the medical data;
• determine, based on the one or more user-defined rules, that the component is not in a format indicated in the one or more user-defined rules associated with the medical data component type;
• in response to determining that the component is not in the format indicated by the accessed user-defined rules, convert the component to the format;
• generate an electronic token comprising executable software code, wherein the electronic token includes an indication of a software application suitable for viewing the component of medical data;
• determine that the component of the medical data is fully transmitted to a remote computing device;
• and
• in response to determining that the component of the medical data is fully transmitted to the remote computing device, automatically activate, on the remote computing device, the software application indicated by the electronic token.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing software code that, when executed by a computer system, configures the computer system to perform operations comprising:

• accessing medical data having a plurality of components;
• accessing one or more user-defined rules indicating user preferences for formatting and transmitting the plurality of components of the medical data;
• determining a medical data component type associated with a component of the plurality of components of the medical data;
• determining, based on the one or more user-defined rules, that the component is not in a format indicated in the one or more user-defined rules associated with the medical data component type;
• in response to determining that the component is not in the format indicated by the accessed user-defined rules, converting the component to the format;
• generating an electronic token comprising executable software code, wherein the electronic token includes an indication of a software application suitable for viewing the component of medical data;
• determining that the component of the medical data is fully transmitted to a remote computing device;
• and
• in response to determining that the component of the medical data is fully transmitted to the remote computing device, automatically activating, on the remote computing device, the software application indicated by the electronic token.
