The invention relates to a method for analyzing image processing procedures, in which unprocessed original image data is stored, stored original image data is retrieved, retrieved original image data is processed, the individual processing steps during the processing of the image data are in some instances stored together with the respective processing step parameter values, and the processed image data is stored such that it can be assigned to the processing steps stored during its processing and in some instances processing step parameter values. According to the invention the processed image data is analyzed statistically and the result of the statistical analysis is stored such that it can be assigned to the stored processing steps and in some instances processing step parameter values. The original image data is optionally included in the statistical analysis of the processed image data.

Method for analyzing image data

A method and medical system for the postdischarge surveillance of a patient () for detecting a case of pneumonia, secondary bleeding, a wound healing problem, a pulmonary complication, a urinary tract infection or a thrombosis of the patient (), having a data bank (), which is arranged at a location other than the location () at which the patient () is based during the surveillance and stores data relevant for the postdischarge surveillance of the patient () recorded during the postdischarge surveillance.

Method and medical system for the postdischarge surveillance of a patient

In a system for conducting medical studies a number of medical locations, such as clinics or medical practices, are connected to a central server via a computer network. The system is constructed in modular fashion, and it is automatically determined, with computer support within the system, whether a specific patient is eligible to participate in a medical study of the system, and if so, the sequence of the corresponding medical study is controlled centrally by corresponding modules, automatically and in a study-specific and patient-specific fashion.

Computerized system for conducting medical studies

A method for the processing of data which are stored in at least one database in at least partially encrypted form, in which case the data can be read by a user communicating with the database via a communications link and, if necessary, new data can be stored, in which case the data are decrypted and/or encrypted exclusively by the user using a key which is stored in a central further database and can be transmitted exclusively to the authorized user.

Secure data processing method

A medical system for monitoring a measured value of a patient characterizing blood clotting and/or for setting a medication that influences blood clotting for a patient in a home environment, has a device for acquiring measured values of the patient relating to blood clotting, a device for transmitting the measured values to a system central, a device for interrogating the measured values, and a reception device at a monitoring person. The system central has a memory for the measured values, an analysis device for the measured values by comparing the measured values to stored reference values, an alarm generator which generates an alarm signal upon a recognition of predetermined conditions, and a routing device for forwarding the alarm signal to a reception device of a person to be alerted in a process chain.
