Patient sensor data exchange systems and methods
A system for patient data exchange is provided and includes a plurality of sensors monitoring a patient according to a default sensor configuration, and a patient data exchange engine that receives a request comprising one or more parameters, identifies at least one applicable sensor from the plurality of sensors based on the one or more parameters, and reconfigures the at least one applicable sensor from the default sensor configuration to a different sensor configuration in accordance with the one or more parameters to generate applicable sensor data responsive to the request. In specific embodiments, the patient data exchange engine further computes a monetary value for the generated sensor data based at least on an attribute of the patient and an attribute of the sensor data.
1. A patient data exchange system, comprising:
a plurality of sensors monitoring health conditions of a plurality of patients wherein each of the plurality of sensors is associated with one of the plurality of patients and is configured to generate patient sensor data of the associated patient according to a default sensor configuration;
a memory storing software instructions; and
a processor coupled with the memory wherein the processor, upon execution of the software instructions, performs operations comprising:
receiving a request for patient sensor data, the request comprising one or more parameters including at least one health status parameter,
identifying, from among the plurality of sensors, at least one applicable sensor whose associated patient satisfies the at least one health status parameter of the request, and
reconfiguring the at least one applicable sensor from the default sensor configuration to a different sensor configuration in accordance with the one or more parameters of the request to generate applicable patient sensor data responsive to the request.
2. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the default sensor configuration comprises a time-synchronization with another of the plurality of sensors.
3. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one applicable sensor generates patient sensor data at a first sampling rate according to the default sensor configuration, wherein the operations further comprise reconfiguring the at least one applicable sensor to have a second sampling rate according to the one or more parameters.
4. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise reconfiguring the at least one applicable sensor to remove an identifier associated with the patient from the sensor data according to the one or more parameters.
5. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise rejecting the request if reconfiguring the at least one applicable sensor defeats an original purpose of the at least one applicable sensor.
6. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise computing a monetary value for generated sensor data based at least on an attribute of the patient and an attribute of the sensor data.
7. The patient data exchange system of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise enabling a transaction with respect to generated sensor data using the computed monetary value.
8. The patient data exchange system of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise computing the monetary value based on a rarity of the attribute among a plurality of patients.
9. The patient data exchange system of claim 6 , wherein the attribute of the patient comprises a demographic attribute of the patient.
10. The patient data exchange system of claim 6 , wherein the attribute of the patient comprises a health condition of the patient.
11. The patient data exchange system of claim 10 , wherein the health condition comprises at least one of a disease, a treatment, and a reaction to a treatment.
12. The patient data exchange system of claim 6 , wherein the attribute of the patient comprises a location of the patient.
13. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise aggregating multiple streams of the sensor data that are associated with a plurality of patients sharing at least one attribute.
14. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise providing a user access to the generated sensor data.
15. The patient data exchange system of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise scrubbing the generated sensor data to remove any information that can identify the patient before providing the user access to the generated sensor data.
16. The patient data exchange system of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise compressing the generated sensor data before providing to the user.
17. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
deriving a patient health attribute from the generated sensor data responsive to the request;
determining a rarity of the patient health attribute among a plurality of patients;
deriving a correlation between the patient health attribute and the at least one health status parameter of the request; and
computing a monetary value for the request based on the determined rarity and the correlation.
18. The patient data exchange system of claim 1 , wherein the default sensor configuration and the different sensor configuration specify different measurement frequencies.
19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which are stored software instructions executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request for patient sensor data, the request comprising one or more parameters including at least one health status parameter;
identifying, from among a plurality of sensors monitoring health conditions of a plurality of patients, at least one applicable sensor whose associated patient satisfies the at least one health status parameter of the request; and
reconfiguring the at least one applicable sensor from a default sensor configuration to a different sensor configuration in accordance with the one or more parameters of the request to generate applicable patient sensor data responsive to the request.
20. A method using at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the method comprising:
receiving a request for patient sensor data, the request comprising one or more parameters including at least one health status parameter;
identifying, from among a plurality of sensors monitoring health conditions of a plurality of patients, at least one applicable sensor whose associated patient satisfies the at least one health status parameter of the request; and
reconfiguring the at least one applicable sensor from a default sensor configuration to a different sensor configuration in accordance with the one or more parameters of the request to generate applicable patient sensor data responsive to the request.
