The invention relates generally to systems and methods for a medical data marketplace where de-identified medical data can be offered for sale or licensing, and prospective customers can search for the medical data using various criteria. The marketplace facilitates clinical research activities, clinical trials, medical research, medical technology development, and the like, while preserving HIPAA privacy protections, and allows medical data owners to monetize the data in an efficient manner.
- Claim:
1. A system for providing a medical data marketplace, the system comprising: a database storing a plurality of de-identified medical data sets, wherein each de-identified medical data set is owned by a different data owner; a server coupled to the database; and a computer-readable storage medium operably connected to a processor coupled to the server, the computer-readable storage medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: generate an interface that allows a customer to submit a search request that includes at least one criteria, receive the search request from the interface, query the database using the criteria to retrieve at least one matching medical data set from the plurality of de-identified medical data sets, display the at least one matching medical data set on the interface, and facilitate a financial transaction related to the at least one matching medical data set between a respective data owner and the customer.
- Claim:
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the criteria is selected from a group consisting of a modality type, an equipment manufacturer, a body part, a study description, a protocol name, a requested procedure description, a scheduled procedure step description, and a keyword.
- Claim:
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the criteria is a study date or a study date range.
- Claim:
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the criteria is a geographic criteria or a demographic criteria.
- Claim:
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the financial transaction is a sale of the at least one matching medical data set.
- Claim:
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the financial transaction is a license to the at least one matching medical data set.
- Claim:
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the server and the respective data owner share proceeds from the financial transaction.
- Claim:
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the server receives a membership fee from the customer.
- Claim:
9. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of medical data sets include a medical report and at least one diagnostic image.
- Claim:
10. A system for providing a medical data marketplace, the system comprising: a database storing a plurality of diagnostic image sets, wherein each diagnostic image set is owned by a different data owner; a server coupled to the database; and a computer-readable storage medium operably connected to a processor coupled to the server, the computer-readable storage medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: perform a de-identification process on each of the plurality of diagnostic image sets to generate a plurality of de-identified diagnostic image sets, generate an interface that allows a customer to submit a search request that includes at least one criteria, receive the search request from the interface, query the database using the criteria to retrieve at least one matching diagnostic image set from the plurality of de-identified diagnostic image sets, display the at least one matching diagnostic image set on the interface, and facilitate a financial transaction related to the at least one matching diagnostic image set between a respective data owner and the customer.
- Claim:
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the criteria is selected from a group consisting of a modality type, an equipment manufacturer, a body part, a study description, a protocol name, a requested procedure description, a scheduled procedure step description, and a keyword.
- Claim:
12. The system of claim 10, wherein the criteria is a study date or a study date range.
- Claim:
13. The system of claim 10, wherein the criteria is a geographic criteria or a demographic criteria.
- Claim:
14. The system of claim 10, wherein the financial transaction is a sale of the at least one matching diagnostic image set.
- Claim:
15. The system of claim 10, wherein the financial transaction is a licensing of the at least one matching diagnostic image set.
- Claim:
16. The system of claim 10, wherein the server receives a listing fee from each of the different data owners.
- Claim:
17. The system of claim 10, wherein at least one of the server and the respective data owner share proceeds from the financial transaction.
- Claim:
18. A system for providing a medical data marketplace, the system comprising: a database storing a plurality of medical data sets, wherein each medical data set is owned by a different data owner; a server coupled to the database; and a computer-readable storage medium operably connected to a processor coupled to the server, the computer-readable storage medium containing programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: perform a de-identification process on each of the plurality of medical data sets to generate a plurality of de-identified medical data sets, generate an interface that allows a customer to submit a search request that includes at least one criteria; receive the search request from the interface, query the database using the criteria to retrieve at least one matching medical data set from the plurality of de-identified medical data sets, display the at least one matching medical data set on the interface, and facilitate a financial transaction related to the at least one matching medical data set between a respective data owner and the customer.
- Claim:
19. The system of claim 18, wherein the de-identification process includes the steps of: retrieving, by the server, a medical image from a medical data set from the plurality of medical data sets; determining, by the server, a modality associated with the medical image; retrieving, by the server, a de-identification profile for the modality, wherein the de-identification profile specifies at least one area of the medical image that contains patient information; and applying, by a sanitizing engine coupled to the server, a blackout zone over the area of the medical image specified in the de-identification profile, wherein the patient information within the blackout zone is deleted by the sanitizing engine.
- Claim:
20. The system of claim 19, wherein the de-identification process further includes the steps of: detecting, by the sanitizing engine, a boundary for a diagnostic portion of the medical image if no characters are detected in the area after the blackout zone has been applied; detecting, by the sanitizing engine, if non-black pixels are present outside of the boundary for the diagnostic portion; and performing a first operation by the sanitizing engine to convert any non-black pixels detected outside of the boundary for the diagnostic portion to black pixels, or performing a second operation by the sanitizing engine to encapsulate the medical image into a DICOM format if non-black pixels are not detected outside of the boundary for the diagnostic portion.
