Abstract
The assembly and communication of medical information from a variety of modalities to remote stations through a public network is provided for by the combined use of a transmitter and disassembly structure. The transmitter includes an assembly unit for gathering data into packets and a processing unit to provide security for transfer. The disassembly structure reconfigures the data for relay to a receiving station. Mechanisms are provided for conserving the transfer time from transmitter to disassembly structure.
Claims24
Stored in a computer readable format, computer executable instructions which when executed cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:
- recognizing the identity of a receiving station that is to receive medical data;
- identifying a disassembly structure from the identity of the receiving station;
- and,
- preparing packets containing the medical data and causing the packets to be sent via a network to the disassembly structure, the preparing comprising attempting to secure the medical data for its transportation over the network by applying to the medical data at least one security technique selected from the group consisting of
- encryption;
- authentication;
- and,
- key management.
