Abstract
The present invention provides a computer implemented method for acquiring secure test result data. In one embodiment, the method comprises presenting a test to a test subject through a computer device. Raw test response data based on the subject's response to the presented test is received from the test subject. The raw data is processed to generate test result data. The test result data is encrypted to generate encrypted test result data. The encrypted test result data is made available to a user, but unencrypted raw test response and result data is not accessible. In this way, only users with access to the decryption method for decrypting the encrypted result data have practical access to test result and raw data received from the test subject.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for acquiring secure test result data, comprising:
- (a) presenting a test to a test subject through a computer device;
- (b) receiving from the test subject raw test response data based on the subject's response to the presented test;
- (c) processing the raw data to generate test result data;
- (d) encrypting the test result data to generate encrypted test result data;
- and
- (e) making the encrypted test result data available to a user, wherein unencrypted raw test response and unencrypted test result data within the computer device is not accessible.
A memory storage media with a computerized neuro-psychological test battery program having instructions that when executed by a computer device cause it to perform a method comprising:
- (a) presenting a test subject with a neuro-psychological test;
- (b) receiving from the test subject raw data responsive to the presented test;
- (c) generating a test result file based on the raw data;
- (d) encrypting the test result file into an encrypted test result file;
- (e) allowing the encrypted test result file to be accessed by a user;
- and
- (f) preventing the unencrypted raw data and test result file from being accessed.
A method for securely acquiring clinical test data with a computer device in one or more remote locations, comprising:
- (a) at the one or more remote locations, presenting a test to at least one test subject through a computer device;
- (b) receiving from the at least one test subject data in response to the presented test and inputting said data into the computer device;
- (c) generating an encrypted test result file for the at least one test subject based on its inputted data, wherein received data that is not encrypted is not available outside of the computer device;
- and
- (d) transferring the encrypted test result files for the at least one test subject from the one or more remote sites to a common database.
