Hybrid media distribution for telehealth sessions

A hybrid media distribution system for a telehealth session, comprising:

• a local server operating on a local network, the local server disposed in a location associated with a patient;
• at least one local media device connected to the local network and configured to capture and encrypt media of the telehealth session in the location associated with the patient;
• and
• at least one remote server operating on a remote network,
• wherein the local server comprises at least one local server processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions to:
• receive encrypted media from the at least one local media device;
• and
• transmit the encrypted media to the at least one remote server,
• wherein the at least one remote server comprises at least one remote server processor configured to execute further computer-executable instructions to:
• receive the encrypted media from the local server;
• decrypt the encrypted media to obtain decrypted media;
• re-encrypt the decrypted media for each of one or more remote participants connected to the at least one remote server to obtain re-encrypted media;
• and
• transmit the re-encrypted media to each of the one or more remote participants.

A method for hybrid media distribution for a telehealth session, comprising:

• authenticating, via a key-pair exchange, at least one local surgical device for participating in the telehealth session;
• receiving, from the at least one local surgical device and at a local server operating on a local hospital network, encrypted data of an operation being performed on a patient within a hospital associated with the local hospital network;
• transmitting, by the local server, the encrypted data to a remote server;
• decrypting, by the remote server, the encrypted data to obtain decrypted data;
• and
• for each remote participant communicatively coupled to the remote server, re-encrypting the decrypted data using an encryption method based on a remote client device of a remote participant.
