System and method for quantifying, ensuring, and triggering the prescriptive authority for a telemedicine session

A method for creating a unique transaction ID (UTID) securely representing a medical diagnostic transaction between a user/patient and a telemedicine professional, comprising the steps of:

• receiving, at a central office from a user/patient's mobile unit (MU), test information generated by a test platform proximate the user/patient's MU of a biologic received from the user/patient, to initiate a new diagnostic transaction, wherein the information generated by the test platform includes a representation of positive results of a specific medical condition and information regarding the test platform, wherein the information regarding the test platform includes an indication of the specific medical condition tested by the test platform;
• the central office having a first central office database for storing medical information and profile information for a plurality of users/patients, the central office having a second central office database for storing UTIDs;
• initiating generation of a UTID for the new diagnostic transaction initiated by the receiving operation after creation thereof in the second central office database, wherein the UTID stores, as part of the UTID, transaction information including the positive results and the information regarding the test platform, and wherein the UTID is associated with the user/patient;
• analyzing the received test information to determine if the test information for the specific medical condition being tested represents a positive result for an existence of the specific medical condition;
• transferring test results back to the user/patient's MU for display to the user/patient;
• updating the UTID in response to receiving additional information generated by another test platform, wherein the additional information includes a representation of positive results of a specific medical condition and information regarding the other test platform, wherein the information regarding the other test platform includes an indication of the specific medical condition tested by the other test platform, and wherein the UTID is configured to be updated to store, as a part of the UTID, information on a plurality of transactions upon an occurrence of each of the plurality of transactions, and
• receiving from the MU a request for a telemedicine professional session limited to the specific medical condition being tested and in response thereto executing the following steps at the central office representing a diagnostic procedure for the specific medical condition following predetermined industry standard diagnostic procedures for such diagnosis for the specific medical condition:
• analyzing the test results with an expert system in view of user/patient stored information in the first central office database to determine at least one treatment regimen for the specific medical condition, the expert system being trained on the predetermined industry standard diagnostic procedures associated with the diagnostic procedures for the specific medical condition and for generating a result of a suggested industry recommended treatment regimen,
• generating a digital certificate, wherein the digital certificate includes the UTID and information associated with the UTID, user/patient authentication information, test results information, determined treatment regimens determined by the expert system, and expiration information, wherein the expiration information indicates a time when a validity of the digital certificate expires,
• encrypting the digital certificate using an encryption key, wherein the encrypted digital certificate is only decrypted by a decryption key made available to partnered telemedicine providers,
• contacting a telemedicine professional and transmitting predetermined information from the first central office database including at least the encrypted digital certificate,
• receiving interactions between the telemedicine professional and the user MU,
• receiving approval from the telemedicine professional of a selection of the determined treatment regimen determined from at least responses from the user/patient by the telemedicine professional through the user/patient's MU in addition to the determined treatment regimens for the specific medical condition provided by the expert system or from stored preferences of the user/patient stored in the first central office database that define an appropriate action to be taken to complete an approved treatment regimen approved by the telemedicine professional for the specific medical condition, and
• locking the UTID to prevent additional transaction information from being appended thereto during the telemedicine professional session.
