A method for integrated longitudinal condition tracking, the method comprising:
- performing diagnosis acquisition tasks related to a participant using a diagnosis acquisition device;
- generating, using the diagnosis acquisition device, an encrypted diagnosis event block that corresponds to each of the diagnosis acquisition tasks performed and stores diagnosis data in structured data units;
- capturing, using a symptom collecting device, symptom information related to a participant;
- generating, using the symptom collecting device, an encrypted symptom event block that stores symptom data in structured data units;
- verifying, then storing, and linking, using a secure chain of decentralized ledger blocks, decentralized chains of encrypted diagnosis event blocks and encrypted symptom event blocks for a participant based on structured data, wherein the encrypted diagnosis event blocks and encrypted symptom event blocks of the secure chain are immutable;
- managing, using a gatekeeper, encryption and access to the secure chain based on authority granted to the gatekeeper and recorded in the secure chain, wherein the gatekeeper possesses authority to grant and deny access to subsets of the secure chain by participants, wherein access is controlled by configuring sets of structured data;
- and
- storing, using a network of secure processing devices, secure chains of decentralized ledger blocks comprising encrypted diagnosis event blocks and encrypted symptom event blocks from participants;
- performing data integration tasks, using a network of secure processing devices, by migrating along longitudinal paths of the secure chain, parsing decentralized ledger blocks using structured data embedded in the decentralized ledger blocks, wherein structured data embedded in the decentralized ledger blocks controls access to encrypted diagnosis event blocks and encrypted symptom event blocks based on access granted by the gatekeeper;
- generating, using a network of secure processing devices, pathology collections of encrypted diagnosis event blocks and encrypted symptom event blocks based on sets of parsed structured data, wherein pathology collections are configured based on input from a participant, subject to access granted to the participant by the gatekeeper;
- and
- providing an interface to supply participants with reports and action directives aggregating data from the pathology collections;
- approving access to pathology collections, unstructured data and structured stored in decentralized ledger blocks and the network of secure processing devices related to participants participating in a digital health marketplace based on submissions of at least one requesting participant, the approving comprising:
- providing the at least one requesting participant with access to a network portal displayed using an interface of a system for integrated longitudinal condition tracking;
- receiving, from the at least one requesting participant accessing the network portal using the interface, a request to set up a research project offer submission on a digital health marketplace residing within the network of secure processing devices;
- receiving, from the at least one requesting participant accessing the network portal using the interface, identification information linking the research project offer submission to structured data stored in a secure chain of decentralized ledger blocks and the network of secure processing devices belonging to the requesting participant;
- receiving, from the at least one requesting participant, research project parameters for setting up a research project designed by one or more requesting participants, wherein research project parameters comprise inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, threshold criteria, time criteria, criteria weighting, compensation data for participants, compensation account data, and offer data to be presented to participants including type of research and research goal;
- storing research project parameters and the request to set up a research project offer submission in the network of secure processing devices, wherein project parameters are encrypted;
- receiving, from the at least one requesting participant, evidence of approval, wherein evidence of approval comprises uploading to the network of secure processing devices, using the interface, one or more of the group consisting of internal approval, regulatory approval, and prior network administrator approval;
- reviewing, by the network of secure processing devices and network administrators, the stored research project parameters, evidence of approval, network data and laws, rules and regulations governing research projects;
- providing to the at least one requesting participant, by the interface, an approval decision;
- transferring funds, based upon the approval decision and research project parameters, using compensation account data, into an escrow account managed by the network of secure processing devices to be distributed by the network of secure processing devices to participants completing milestones in research project participation;
- publishing, the research project offer in the digital health marketplace using the interface and the network of secure processing devices, and storing the research project offer in a database related to the digital health marketplace that is indexed and searchable;
- and
- updating structured data, encrypted blocks, access controls, access privileges, privacy restrictions and security restrictions stored in the secure chain of decentralized ledger blocks and the network of secure processing devices managed the network, and network administrators based on the approval decision.
