Method and apparatus for anonymized medical data analysis
Abstract:
A data processing system may include a local computing device to receive medical data including a patient's protected health information (PHI) and at least one medical image associated with the patient; an anonymizing device to separate the PHI with the medical image; an image processing unit to analyze the medical image; and a processed results managing (PRM) unit configured to recognize and link analyzed results of the medical image to the corresponding patient's PHI, and combine the analyzed results and the patient's PHI to generate an analysis report. The present invention is advantageous because it allows medical images to be analyzed off-site while minimizing the risk of compromising the patient's PHI. Furthermore, the anonymized medical analysis can be used to guide and improve medical treatment especially during a medical procedure.
