Abstract
A system for recording HIPAA compliant medical imagery may be configured using two separate systems. A first system comprising a separate and independent medical imaging device such as a microscope, an endoscope, or a similar medical imaging tool. The desired medical imaging tool is configured so that a high-definition recording device is able to capture the imagery displayed by the medical imaging tool. The separate and independent medical imaging device is further configured to transmit the high-definition captured imagery to a second separate and independent medical imagery processing system. The second separate and independent medical imagery processing system may be configured to include a special purpose computer with a processor, a hard drive, a random-access memory, and a removable encrypted flash drive. The processor may be configured, using well understood techniques, to process the high-definition imagery that is transmitted from the separate and independent medical imaging device. The processor may be further configured to store the processed data in an encrypted format only on a removable encrypted flash drive that is connected to the second separate and independent me…
