Abstract
An Internet based health data system for providing patient medical, health, insurance and related data via the Internet, to a plurality of potential users including the patient based on profile and security that complies with all regulations including the HIPAA Act. The system registers and maintains an individual'"'"'s health data by adding a meta-data wrapper thereto that then determines applicability-to-use cases defined by system logic. A patient profile is also used to recommend and independently search the Internet for appropriate information to benefit the patient and potential stakeholders and caretakers of the patient. Each profile and related data is interactively developed with regard to the individual patient and the other participant users including physicians, insurance institutions, hospitals, laboratories, family genetics, health care facilities, government agencies, etc. and stored in a relational database to be continuously updated through a patient'"'"'s lifetime. The profiled health material is converted into contemporary, multi-tiered object oriented content utilizing Internet browser technology (i.e. HTML, VRML, HTTP/IIOP, Visual Basic, Active X, XML, RDF, Java-script, etc.) and integrated to the presentation level using object oriented technology and standards (e.g. OODBMS, Java, .jt, SQL, SOAP, CORBA, OLE, COM, etc.). The system is patient centric with a free web interface provided to the individual. Financial support is derived from the other stakeholders that can use this data. The system will constitute a single source of patient data that is secure and immediately accessible over the WWW to the appropriate stakeholders. The data is registered to the system and does not necessarily need to reside in a separate duplicated environment. All this data is converted in real time for standards based viewing across the WWW using standard browser technology.
