1. A method for sharing medical data in a telemedicine session comprising:
- receiving a biometric imaging stream in real time from a medical scanning device;
receiving a data stream in real time, the data stream being one selected from the group consisting of a video stream received from a video camera and a biometric data stream that is received from a medical sensing device wherein the biometric imaging stream and the data stream are received simultaneously;
obtaining a plurality of biometric imaging frames from the biometric imaging stream as the biometric imaging stream is being received;
obtaining a plurality of data frames from the data stream as the data stream is being received;
inserting timestamps into the biometric imaging and data frames so that they can be rendered synchronously in real time on a remote device; and
transmitting the biometric imaging and data frames in real time to the remote device while the biometric imaging and data streams are being received so that the biometric imaging and data frames can be rendered in substantially real time at the remote device.

Abstract
A variety of methods and arrangements for sharing medical data are described. In one aspect, one or more data streams are received from one or more medical imaging/sensing or other types of devices. Frames are obtained from the streams. In some embodiments, particular frames and/or parts of frames are selectively encrypted. The frames are transmitted to a remote device, where they are rendered and/or displayed at the remote device. In various embodiments, the frames of different streams are synchronized.

12. A method for collaborating in a telemedicine session comprising:
-
receiving biometric imaging frames in real time from a transmitting device over a network wherein the biometric imaging frames are generated at least in part by a medical scanning device; receiving data frames from the transmitting device over the network, the data frames being one selected from the group consisting of video frames that are generated at least in part by a video camera and biometric data frames that are generated at least in part by a medical sensing device wherein the biometric imaging frames and the data frames are received simultaneously as they are being generated and transmitted; obtaining timestamps from the biometric imaging and data frames; synchronizing the biometric imaging and data frames based on the timestamps; and rendering the synchronized biometric imaging and data frames synchronously in real time as the biometric imaging and video frames are received from the transmitting device over the network. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for selectively encrypting medical data, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data stream from a medical imaging/sensing device; obtaining a plurality of data frames from the data stream; selectively encrypting a portion of the data frames and leaving another portion of the data frames unencrypted; and transmitting the data frames to a remote device as the data stream is being received. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A telemedicine device, comprising:
-
at least one processor; at least one memory that stores computer readable instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor cause the telemedicine device to; receive a biometric imaging stream in real time from a medical scanning device; receive a data stream in real time, the data stream being one selected from the group consisting of a video stream received from a video camera and a biometric data stream that is received from a medical sensing device wherein the biometric imaging stream and the data stream are received simultaneously; obtain a plurality of biometric imaging frames from the biometric imaging stream as the biometric imaging stream is being received; obtain a plurality of data frames from the data stream as the data stream is being received; insert timestamps into the biometric imaging and data frames so that they can be rendered synchronously in real time on a remote device; and transmit the biometric imaging and data frames in real time to the remote device while the biometric imaging and data streams are being received so that the biometric imaging and data frames can be rendered in substantially real time at the remote device.
