Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that notify a user of the status of his or her imaging, such as through the use of an application or website on a communication device. Some embodiments detect completion of an imaging appointment (e.g., for physiological imaging) and retrieve imaging data and a report analyzing the imaging data as they become available. This provides users with easy, seamless access to the status and results of their imaging as soon as possible.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which when executed by the processor, cause the device to perform operations including:
- receiving, from a communication device at a first node on a network, a status request associated with a data record of a user, wherein:
- the data record includes a physiological image, and
- the status request includes a source identifier and a plurality of metadata elements related to the physiological image;
- extracting the source identifier from the status request;
- querying a lookup table to identify a source server associated with the source identifier, wherein the source server populates a database with a plurality of data records of a plurality of users;
- translating at least one metadata element of the plurality of metadata elements into a record identifier;
- establishing a data link with the source server at a second node on the network;
- querying the database of the source server for the data record of the user using the record identifier;
- and
- transmitting a status indication of the data record of the user over the network.
A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of a computing device, including instructions that, when executed by one or more processor, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a communication device at a first node on a network, a status request associated with a data record of a user, wherein:
- the data record includes a physiological image, and
- the status request includes a source identifier and a plurality of metadata elements related to the physiological image;
- extract the source identifier from the status request;
- query a lookup table to identify a source server associated with the source identifier, wherein the source server populates a database with a plurality of data records of a plurality of users;
- translate at least one metadata element of the plurality of metadata elements into a record identifier;
- establish a data link with the source server at a second node on the network;
- query the database of the source server for the data record of the user using the record identifier;
- and
- transmit a status indication of the data record of the user over the network.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a communication device at a first node on a network, a status request associated with a data record of a user, wherein:
- the data record includes a physiological image, and
- the status request includes a source identifier and a plurality of metadata elements related to the physiological image;
- extracting the source identifier from the status request;
- querying a lookup table to identify a source server associated with the source identifier, wherein the source server populates a database with a plurality of data records of a plurality of users;
- translating at least one metadata element of the plurality of metadata elements into a record identifier;
- establishing a data link with the source server at a second node on the network;
- querying the database of the source server for the data record of the user using the record identifier;
- and
- transmitting a status indication of the data record of the user over the network.
