Medical Protocol
Walk-state compression for patient records, DICOM metadata, and clinical observations.
Overview
Medical Protocol encodes patient records, DICOM metadata, and clinical observations into walk-state compressed form. Patient data becomes a compact, integrity-verified capsule — transmit securely, reconstruct completely. PHI fields are hashed; clinical content is fully reconstructable from the walk state.
Pipeline
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Classify | Fields partitioned: Private (PHI) / Clinical / Meta |
| Hash | PHI fields one-way hashed (SHA-256); not included in capsule |
| Encode | Clinical + meta fields walk-state compressed into capsule |
| Sign | Integrity hash covers walk ID + full record payload |
| Transmit | Capsule transmitted; walk ID serves as retrieval key |
| Reconstruct | Decode from capsule; PHI remains hashed unless externally matched |
Privacy Model
Private (PHI)
Name, DOB, MRN, address, identifiers. One-way hashed. Cannot be reconstructed from capsule.
Clinical
Conditions, medications, allergies, vitals. Encoded in capsule and fully reconstructable from walk state.
Meta
Resource type, version, structural metadata. Transmitted in plaintext as capsule header.
