Abstract:
A globally interoperable medical information system is provided whereby participants can access central medical files via the Internet. The system employs a specially programmed mini compact disk, which serves as the patient's personal Health-ID card and acts as a secure key to access and communicate with the central records database. CD-based encryption software enables files to be stored within the central servers in an encrypted version. Alternatively, the patients entire medical record can be encrypted and stored on the Health-ID card, and can then be decrypted and viewed (or encrypted and uploaded) by utilizing encryption software stored on the CD.
