A method for data security including receiving, at a server, a record, said record including at least one field for storing personally identifiable information (PII) and querying a structured data store for key information associated with the PII. Then replacing the PII with the key information, altering the key information by combining it with a unique pre-determined modifier, and storing the record wherein the PII includes at least one of a name, social security number, telephone number or address. In some embodiments the key information is numeric and altering includes either adding or subtracting the key information to the unique modifier.

Secure medical apparatus communication is described herein. An example apparatus can include a processor and an apparatus communication component. The apparatus communication component can be coupled to the processor and can be configured to, in response to receiving data from an external communication component, generate an apparatus private key and an apparatus public key, provide the apparatus public key and data to the external communication component, receive data from the external communication component in response to providing the apparatus public key and data to the external communication component, decrypt the received data using the apparatus private key, verify an identity of the external communication component, and in response to verifying the identity of the external communication component, perform an operation on the medical apparatus using the received data.

A system and method for digital smart wallet communications that operates by managing separately-owned, private blockchains to reduce processing times, eliminate proof of work burdens, and retain blockchain immutable security while allowing protection of confidential information contained on each blockchain. The system and method may further comprise auditability of blockchains, and may be operated on an integrated communications platform that allows seamless interoperability of communication devices across multiple modes of communication, and automates digital smart wallet transactions.

Method for authenticating at least one ventilator with at least one remote station, wherein the ventilator can connect itself via at least one interface to the remote station, at least one authentication file is stored on the ventilator, the authentication file contains at least one signature code of a signing authority, and a public keycode of the signing authority is known to the remote station, the ventilator sends the authentication file to the remote station when establishing the connection to the remote station, the remote station checks the signature code of the authentication file using the public keycode as to whether the signature code originates from the signing point and the ventilator is authenticated when the remote station recognizes the signature code as originating from the signing authority.

System and methods for out-of-band pairing sterile medical device with non-sterile devices without compromising sterility thereof. A system includes a sterile medical device; a non-sterile computing device; at least one near field communication (NFC) tag; and a sterile packaging enclosing the sterile medical device. In one example, a sterile percutaneous needle guidance device needs to pair and communicate with a non-sterile computer. The sterile device has an NFC tag embedded in the sterile device and an NFC tag embedded in the sterile packaging. The two NFC tags include identification information duplicate of each other. Before opening the sterile packaging either NFC tag can be scanned with the non-sterile device to initiate wireless pairing. If the sterile package is opened before pairing, the NFC tag contained in the packaging can be brought out of the sterile field and scanned with the non-sterile computer thus preserving the sterility of the sterile device.

A method of cryptographically secured decentralized testing includes receiving, by a computing device and from a secure test apparatus, an output of a cryptographic function of a secret test result identifier, authenticating the output, and recording, in a data repository, an indication of a test result as a function of the output.

A method for data security including receiving a first recordset, said first recordset including a first poly-identifier representing a first personally identifiable information (PII), and a first contextual information, said first poly-identifier associated with a name field of a record in a PII structured data store. Also receiving at the server a second recordset, said second recordset including a second poly-identifier representing a second personally identifiable information (PII) and a second contextual information, said second poly-identifier comprised of unique characters associated with the name field of a record in the PII structured data store. Then comparing the first and second contextual information to calculate a correlation score to create a match table entry as a result of said comparing, said match table entry including both an internal ID and an external anonymous ID. The IDs may associate the contextual information between records to a single person.

The system comprises a plurality of sensing nodes for detecting real time health parameters of patients; a user interface having a plurality of entry fields allotted to a plurality of medical practitioners and pharmacy shops for updating an information of treatment, medication, disease, stage of disease, treatment duration, and the like; a 6G transceiver for wirelessly communicating with the plurality of sensing nodes and user interfaces; a blockchain-based memory for storing the real time health parameters and the information of treatment, medication, disease, stage of disease, treatment duration, and the like; and a central processing unit for generating a health record of each patients thereby storing into the blockchain-based memory such that a medical practitioner is allowed to access the stored data to study the health record of a patient before treatment or before suggesting any medication/vaccine to avoid the complications or any side effect.

Various embodiments provide for decentralized crowd sourced generation of recommendation data objects. An example apparatus receives, originating from an external computing device, a recommendation data object request, the recommendation data object request comprising a user identifier and one or more user attributes. The example apparatus may further retrieve, based on a predictive recommendation model, one or more therapy identifiers associated with a therapy efficacy score exceeding a therapy efficacy score threshold for attributes of a first attributes set associated with a first cluster identifier, the first attributes set comprising one or more of the one or more user attributes. The predictive recommendation model is trained based at least in part on trusted efficacy blocks of a distributed ledger, where the trusted efficacy blocks are added to the distributed ledger when a number of therapy efficacy transaction blocks associated with a given therapy identifier and having a therapy efficacy score exceeding a therapy efficacy score threshold meets or exceeds a therapy efficacy transaction block threshold. The example apparatus may further transmit, to the external computing device, a recommendation data object configured for rendering for display via a display device of the external computing device, where the recommendation data object comprises one or more of the one or more therapy identifiers.
