Abstract
Recent ONCHIT mandates call for increased individual health data collection efforts as well as heightened security measures. To date most healthcare organizations have been reluctant to exchange information, citing confidentiality concerns and unshared costs incurred by specific organizations. Implantable monitoring and treatment devices are rapidly emerging as data collection interface tools in response to such mandates. Proposed here is a translational, device-independent consumer-based solution, which focuses on information controlled by specific patients, and functions within a distributed (organization neutral) environment. While the conceptual applications employed in this technology set are provided by way of illustration, they may also serve as a transformative model for emerging EMR/EHR requirements.
