Abstract

The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that effectuate accurate communication of health data. The system can include mechanisms that initiate data interchange with a records manager that controls personal health records, and that selectively causes a physicians portal to acquire and display the personal but circumscribed health records associated with the user of the system.

Claims

1. A machine implemented system that facilitates and effectuates accurate communication of health data, comprising:

a component that detects a proximity sensor and initiates data interchange with a records manager, the component selectively causes a physicians portal to acquire and display a personal health record associated with a user of the component.

2. The system of claim 1, the component acquires an aspect of the personal health record associated with the user of the component and provides indication of a match with a second component that acquires an aspect of a personal health record associated with an individual utilizing the second component.

3. The system of claim 2, the match based at least in part on a shared ethnological characteristic or a shared medical characteristic.

4. The system of claim 1, the component utilizes a cryptographic key to provide the physicians portal access to the personal health record associated with the user of the component.

5. The system of claim 1, the component selectively screens off an aspect of the health record associated with the user of the component from acquisition by the physicians portal.

6. The system of claim 1, the records manager utilizes a cryptographic key dispensed by the component to access a pharmacy component or an insurance component, the records manager utilizes records from each of the pharmacy component or the insurance component associated with the cryptographic key to stitch the records from the pharmacy component or the insurance component together with the personal health record associated with the user of the component.

7. The system of claim 1, the personal health record includes a familial disposition to a disease or an ethnological vulnerability to a particular ailment.

8. The system of claim 1, the personal health record includes an indication of a travel itinerary associated with the user of the component.

9. The system of claim 1, the component included in at least one or more of textiles, fabrics, or jewelry.

10. A machine implemented method that effectuates accurate communication of health data, comprising:

detecting a proximity detector;

initiating communications with a consolidated health repository; and

transferring circumscribed aspects of a health record to a physicians portal.

11. The method of claim 10, the initiating further comprising at least one or more of interchanging cryptographic keys, username and password couplets, or biometric information associated with a user.

12. The method of claim 10, further comprising acquiring an aspect of the health record associated with a first user and providing indication of a match with a second user, the match based on a shared characteristic between the first user and the second user.

13. The method of claim 12, the shared characteristic related to at least one of an ethnographical characteristic or a medical characteristic.

14. The method of claim 10, the circumscribed aspects of the health record selectively made available to an individual based on a situational location.

15. The method of claim 14, the situational location relates to one or more of a hospital location or a social location.

16. The method of claim 10, the proximity detector included in wireless telephonic communication equipment.

17. The method of claim 10, the proximity detector employed to monitor one of activity or inactivity associated with a user of the health record.

18. A system that facilitates communication of health data, comprising:

means for detecting proximity to a means for transmitting;

means for initiating communications with a means for persisting health records; and

means for transferring circumscribed aspects of a health record to means for communicating medical information.

19. The system of claim 18, the means for initiating communication employs one or more of cryptographic keys, username and password couplets, or biometric information associated with a user.

20. The system of claim 18, the means for detecting proximity utilized to monitor at least one of activity or inactivity associated with a users of the means for transmitting.
