An example operation may include one or more of receiving, by a pharmacy node, a request from a patient node for a prescription refill, the request contains a secret key of a patient, extracting, by the pharmacy node, the secret key from the request to verify a patient's identity, and executing, by the pharmacy node, a smart contract to: (a) decrypt a prescription data located on the ledger by an application of the secret key; (b) retrieve patient's allergy records from the ledger to check the allergy records against the prescription data; (c) determine a number of remaining refills from the prescription data; (d) check validity of the prescription data based on an expiration date; and commit a prescription refill transaction to the blockchain based on a successful execution of (b)-(d).

An apparatus and a method capable of effectively providing services in a mobile communication system, and a data processing method of a data reception apparatus are provided. The apparatus and method includes obtaining, by a first lower packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer and a second lower PDCP layer, a plurality of PDCP packet data units (PDUs) based on data received from a first base station (BS) and a second BS, parallel deciphering, by the first and second lower PDCP layers, the plurality of PDCP PDUs, transmitting, from the first and second lower PDCP layers to an upper PDCP layer, the plurality of deciphered PDCP PDUs, and reordering, by the upper PDCP layer, the plurality of deciphered PDCP PDUs.

In the present invention, a system and method is provided for the self-certification of third party software products for use on medical products by the customer. The system enables the customer to test, qualify, and certify a third party software product for use on a controlled medical device independent of any testing or other intervention by the manufacturer. The system can be located on the particular medical device and provides internal testing and certification mechanisms to promote/authorize third party software products onto to the device/software authorization catalog, as well as notification to the manufacturer of the customer approved addition to the device certified third party software product catalog.

Systems, devices, and methods for encrypting genetic information are provided herein. Also provided herein are systems, devices, and methods for encrypting compressed genetic data, transmitting encrypted compressed genetic data, and receiving, storing, accessing encrypted compressed genetic data. In some cases, a user interface is in communication with a system or device provided herein

Gateways for patient-responsibility portions of medical bills (PRPMB) transactions, regardless of healthcare provider or merchant services (Credit card processing) provider are disclosed, which also provide big data analytics and interoperability across systems and networks. These principles provide uniform, consistent and secure devices, methods and systems that allow a patient to make PRPMB payments on one website or by one phone call or physical address regardless of the entity that is due payment, or when multiple entities are due payment and allow or the use of cryptocurrencies.

A method is disclosed including: allowing a contract research organization device to generate clinical trial information and transmit the information to a blockchain server; allowing the server to register the information, and assign a first private key and a first public key to a set site device and transmit the assigned keys to the site device in response to a request from the organization device; allowing the server to complete applicant authentication using a second private key assigned to an applicant for a clinical trial; allowing the site device to confirm previous participation information of the applicant; and allowing the site device to perform the clinical trial based on the previous participation information, encrypt a performance result of the clinical trial using the first public key, a second public key corresponding to the second private key, and the second private key, and transmit the encrypted performance result to the server.

An operation method for an electronic device is disclosed. The operation method for an electronic device according to an embodiment may comprise the steps of: configuring a block layer for virtualizing a storage on a volatile memory as a block device; storing a file in the configured block layer in units of blocks; selectively encoding, in a unit of at least one block, the file which has been stored in units of blocks; and storing at least one of an encoded block and a non-encoded block in the storage.

In a method for protecting electronic data, a data processing system (20, 20A, 20B) uses (a) a master electrocardiogram (ECG) identifier (44) for an authorized user of the system and (b) a secret chip key (26) for the system to encrypt data in the system. Also, before allowing the encrypted data to be decrypted, the system collects an ECG reading for a current user of the system and uses (a) the collected ECG reading for the current user and (b) at least one predetermined ECG identifier (EID) vector for the authorized user to determine whether the current user is the authorized user. In response to determining that the current user is the authorized user, the system uses the master ECG identifier (44) for the authorized user and the secret chip key (26) for the system to decrypt the data.

The present invention relates to directly and securely transferring encrypted medical data between parties, wherein a sender generates an encrypted access code. The access code is provided to a recipient who can then view the medical data without requiring cloud and virtual private network infrastructures, and which eliminate the need for medical data to be stored on physical media and physically carried to a recipient's location. The invention empowers patients to view, share, and manage their medical data, and facilitates the preservation of the continuum of care.

The present disclosure provides a method for securely transmitting electronic healthcare records between computing devices in communication. A request is received to access a database of electronic health records, checking for an authorization requirement, and generating a token associated with the authorization requirement and the received request. The token corresponds to a block in a Blockchain. The block includes a cryptographic hash of a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data related to the received request, and the at least one authorization requirement. The token can be sent to allow access to at least one electronic health record in the database of electronic health records.
