Abstract
A method for generating DICOM images as part of a real-time virtual medical consultation includes receiving, by a handheld patient device associated with a patient, a DICOM image associated with the patient generated by a diagnostic device, encrypting, by the handheld patient device, the DICOM image and linking the encrypted DICOM image to a unique patient identifier associated with the patient, wherein the handheld patient device is one of a tablet computer and a smartphone, and transmitting, by the handheld patient device, the encrypted DICOM image to a server configured to provide a DICOM viewer option within a secure telemedicine platform accessible by a medical professional and executed by the server.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a handheld patient device associated with a patient, a DICOM image associated with the patient and generated by a diagnostic device;
- encrypting, by the handheld patient device, the DICOM image, wherein the handheld patient device is one of a tablet computer and a smartphone;
- and
- transmitting, by the handheld patient device, the encrypted DICOM image to a medical professional device associated with a medical professional.
A system comprising
- a handheld patient device associated with a patient, the handheld patient device being one of a tablet computer and a smartphone, and the handheld patient device comprising:
- data processing hardware;
- and
- memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a DICOM image associated with the patient and generated by a diagnostic device;
- encrypting the DICOM image;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted DICOM image to a medical professional device associated with a medical professional.
A tablet computer associated with a patient comprising:
- data processing hardware;
- and
- memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware, the memory hardware storing instructions that when executed on the data processing hardware cause the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a DICOM image associated with the patient and generated by a diagnostic device;
- encrypting the DICOM image;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted DICOM image to a medical professional device associated with a medical professional.
