Abstract
A computer based method and system for masked data record access are presented in which data masks are applied to sensitive personal information so that non-masked portions of that information can be used in the selection of products, services and service providers for a consumer. In one application the method and system are utilized in the selection of healthcare products, services and providers based on pangenetic (genetic and epigenetic) and non-pangenetic information associated with the consumer.
Claims14
A computer based method, said computer including a processor, an information display interface, a data receiving interface, a memory, and a data transmitting interface, for utilization of masked healthcare data records including pangenetic data associated with a consumer to consider a proposed medical treatment, said computer based method comprising:
- a) transmitting a request via said data transmitting interface for at least one healthcare data record associated with said consumer;
- b) receiving, via the data receiving interface, said at least one healthcare data record and storing said record in said memory, wherein said at least one healthcare data record contains pangenetic data associated with the consumer that has been masked at one or more locations to reveal a set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors and conceal a set of treatment non-relevant pangenetic factors;
- c) correlating, using said processor, said at least one healthcare data record with a pangenetic database containing pangenetic based treatment records including efficacy data corresponding to a set of pangenetic related medical treatments to determine a correlation between said set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors contained in the at least one healthcare data record and an efficacy of a particular pangenetic related medical treatment from said set of pangenetic related medical treatments;
- d) repeating step (c) for a plurality of pangenetic related treatments to determine at least one proposed medical treatment which correlates with said set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors above a threshold parameter;
- e) storing said at least one proposed medical treatment which correlates with said set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors above said threshold parameter wherein said at least one proposed medical treatment is associated with said consumer's set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors.
A computer system for utilization of masked healthcare data records including pangenetic data associated with a consumer to consider a proposed medical treatment, said computer system comprising:
- a) a transmitting interface for transmitting a request for at least one healthcare data record associated with and identifying said consumer and for transmitting said proposed medical treatment having a correlation with said at least one healthcare data record;
- b) a receiving interface for receiving said at least one healthcare data record wherein the at least one healthcare data record contains pangenetic data associated with said consumer that has been masked at one or more locations to reveal a set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors and conceal a set of treatment non-relevant pangenetic factors;
- c) a memory for storing said at least one healthcare record;
- d) a database containing pangenetic based treatment records including efficacy data corresponding to a set of pangenetic related medical treatments;
- and
- e) a processor for correlating said at least one healthcare data record with a plurality of said pangenetic based treatment records to determine said correlation between said set of treatment relevant pangenetic factors contained in the at least one healthcare data record and the efficacy of a proposed medical treatment from said set of medical treatments, and for determining said a of possible medical treatments having a correlation with said at least one healthcare data record.
