Abstract

A medical data management method comprising the steps of: providing a personal identification information to a portable communication terminal of a patient via a communications channel; and determining whether or not medical data of the patient, received from a communication terminal of a medical institute via the communications channel, can be accepted, based on the personal identification information and a corporate identification information received in association therewith.

Claims

1. A medical data management method comprising the steps of:

providing a personal identification information to a portable communication terminal of a patient via a communications channel; and

determining whether or not medical data of the patient, received from a communication terminal of a medical institute via the communications channel, can be accepted, based on the personal identification information and a corporate identification information received in association therewith.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

providing the corporate identification information to the communications terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

sending a confirmation information for confirming acceptance of the medial data, to the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel in case it is determined that the received medical data can be accepted; and

accepting and storing the received medical data in case an information that permits the acceptance of the medical data is received from the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of:

returning the received medical data to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel in case an information that does not permit the acceptance of the medical data is received from the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

in case it is determined that the received medical data cannot be accepted, sending an information indicative of that determination to at least one of the communication terminal of the medical institute and the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

6. A medical data management system comprising a computer in which a software programmed to execute the medial data management method of claim 1 is installed.

7. A medical data management method comprising the steps of:

providing a personal identification information to a portable communication terminal of a patient via a communications channel; and

determining whether or not stored and managed medical data of the patient can be sent to a communication terminal of a medical institute via the communications channel, based on the personal identification information and a corporate identification information received from the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising the step of:

providing the corporate identification information to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising the steps of:

sending a confirmation information for confirming sending of the stored and managed medical data, to the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel in case it is determined that the stored and managed medical data can be sent; and

sending the stored and managed medical data to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel in case an information that permits the sending of the medical data is received from the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising the step of:

in case an information that refuses the sending of the medical data is received from the portable communication terminal of the patient, sending an information indicative of refusal to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.

11. The method of claim 7, further comprising the step of:

in case it is determined that the stored and managed medical data cannot be sent, sending an information indicative of that determination to at least one of the communication terminal of the medical institute and the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

12. A medical data management system comprising a computer in which a software programmed to execute the medical data management method of claim 7 is installed.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising:

second providing means for providing the corporate identification information to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.

15. The system of claim 13, further comprising:

sending means for sending a confirmation information for confirming acceptance of the medial data, to the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel in case it is determined that the received medical data can be accepted,

wherein the managing means stores and manages the received medical data in case an information that permits the acceptance of the medical data is received from the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

17. The system of claim 16, further comprising the step of:

second providing means for providing the corporate identification information to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.

18. The system of claim 16, further comprising the steps of:

second sending means for sending a confirmation information for confirming sending of the stored and managed medical data, to the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel in case it is determined that the stored and managed medical data can be sent,

wherein the first sending means sends the stored and managed medical data to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel in case an information that permits the sending of the medical data is received from the portable communication terminal of the patient via the communications channel.

13. A medical data management system comprising:

first providing means for providing a personal identification information to a portable communication terminal of a patient via a communications channel;

determining means for determining whether or not medical data of the patient, received from a communication terminal of a medical institute via the communications channel, can be accepted, based on the personal identification information and a corporate identification information received in association therewith; and

managing means for storing and managing the received medical data of the patient in association with the personal identification information.

16. A medical data management system comprising:

first providing means for providing a personal identification information to a portable communication terminal of a patient via a communications channel;

determining means for determining whether or not stored and managed medical data of the patient can be sent to a communication terminal of a medical institute via the communications channel, based on the personal identification information and a corporate identification information received from the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel; and

first sending means for sending the stored and managed medical data to the communication terminal of the medical institute via the communications channel.
