Application: Systems and methods for providing access to electronic health records using a virtual health wallet (Patent ID: US20240161889A1)
The patent filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc. describes systems and methods for utilizing a virtual health wallet that is created for a patient by an SSI service. The wallet is associated with a DID stored on a distributed ledger and a public-private key pair, stored on a cloud-based endpoint. When a provider creates a record for a patient, it is stored in the wallet at the endpoint, with the DID of the record stored in the ledger along with the endpoint's address. The patient can then share the DID of the record with a requestor, who can retrieve the endpoint's address from the ledger using the DID and request access to the record, which the wallet verifies and provides if permission is granted.
The claims detail the method of creating the virtual health wallet, storing electronic health records, updating records, and providing access to authorized medical providers. The system involves creating nodes for records, linking updates to existing records, and authenticating requests using digital signatures and patient permissions. The process includes retrieving endpoint identifiers from a distributed cryptographic ledger, receiving requests from medical providers, and ensuring patient consent through applications on their smartphones. The system also allows for the creation of multiple records for a patient, each associated with a unique decentralized digital identifier and endpoint. Overall, the patent outlines a secure and efficient way to manage electronic health records through a virtual health wallet system.
