Abstract

This invention describes how users can capture digital artifacts from any medical device using their mobile device. Some examples of medical devices included, but are not limited to a medical ID card, Medical ID bracelet, Electronic Medical Records, blood pressure machines, blood glucose, scales, inhalers, INR, prescription bottles and trays, pulse oximeter, etc. Digital artifacts included, but are not limited to a medical ID, basic patient information, patient contact information, emergency contact information, primary care physician information, health insurance information including co-pay and deductibles, prescriptions, office visit summary, appointment cards, Electronic Medical Records (EMR), lab results, blood type, organ/donor status, vital signs, diagnostic data, immunization records, payments and transaction history, pictures, etc

Claims

1. A method for receiving a digital medical artifact at a mobile device, the method comprising:

executing software applications on a processor of a secure element coupled to a medical device, wherein the secure element is connected to the medical device via a universal port;

wireless sending digital artifacts associated with the executed secure element software application, through a first communication channel to the mobile device which subsequently sends the transaction to a remote server for processing;

receiving response data from the sever using a second communication channel for display within a specific mobile application mobile application generated screen based on correlating parameters from personal information and transaction history, wherein the mobile application generated screen is a screen, scene, or real estate of the application.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the secure element is wirelessly coupled to the medical device.

8. The method of claim 1 where the medical digital artifacts are stored in another memory storage different than the memory storage the application resides in

9. The method of claim 1 where the different medical applications are stored in different secure elements, wherein the secure element controller manages the multiple secure element applications.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the digital medical artifacts comprises one of medical id, patient information, prescription, emergency contact information, physician information, vital signs, insurance information, etc

2. The method of claim 2 wherein the secure element is coupled to the universal port using USB.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the wireless connection is NFC.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the wireless connection is Bluetooth.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the wireless connection is inaudible sound waves.

7. The method of claim 2, wherein the universal port is infrared.

11. A system for receiving a digital medical artifact at a mobile device, the system comprising:

a secure element processor executing a software applications, wherein the secure element is coupled to the medical device using a universal port;

a secure element transceiver for wireless sending digital artifacts associated with the executed secure element software application, through a first communication channel to the mobile device which subsequently sends the transaction to a remote server for processing;

a display for receiving response data from the sever using a second communication channel for display within a specific mobile application mobile application generated screen based on correlating parameters from personal information and transaction history, wherein the mobile application generated screen is a screen, scene, or real estate of the application.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the secure element is coupled to the universal port using USB.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the secure element is wirelessly coupled to the medical device.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the wireless connection is NFC.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the wireless connection is Bluetooth.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the wireless connection is inaudible sound waves.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the universal port is infrared.

18. The system of claim 13 where the medical digital artifacts are stored in another memory storage different than the memory storage the application resides in.

19. The system of claim 11, where the different medical applications are stored in different secure elements, wherein the secure element controller manages the multiple secure element applications.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein the digital medical artifacts comprises one of medical id, patient information, prescription, emergency contact information, physician information, vital signs, insurance information, etc
