Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0055706, filed on May 4, 2022. The disclosures of the above-listed application are hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure generally relates to medical data management systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to inventive and unconventional systems for receiving, integrating, storing and managing medical data including data located on an external device, and providing the medical data to a user device. BACKGROUND With the developments of computer and communication technology, the medical community is also researching and developing systems that provide medical services using computer and data communication technology. Numerous computerized medical image management systems exist. For example, Picture Arching Communication System (PACS), that is a medical imaging technology used primarily in healthcare organizations to securely store and digitally transmit electronic images and clinically-relevant reports, is introduced to eliminate the need to manually file and store, retrieve and send sensitive information, films and reports. With the PACS, the computer network is installed all over the hospital, all X-Ray films can be digitalized in database to be stored in a large central storage medium. A particular X-Ray film of the stored film data can be accessed by a computer monitor in an individual doctor's office. These PACS can be configured as a centralized system or a distributed system, according to image data storage and request path methods. The centralized system may store all image data in a large central storage medium and transmit the data to the requested system when requested. In the centralized system, all users (doctors) can access all image data regardless of time and place, but fast data transmission speed is required because data transmission can be made after an access request is received. On the other hand, the distributed system distributes and stores image data in one or more storage media according to work characteristics. In the distributed system, each workstation has a cache-like local image storage characteristic that temporarily stores requested image data. The distributed system can be configured as a low-speed network that is relatively slow compared to the centralized system, but there is a disadvantage that data transmission takes some time when requested image data is not stored in a local workstation. Meanwhile, with the recent increase in demand for remote medical data processing, various data processing companies are providing software for medical data processing. The demand for platforms that may process multiple types of medical software is also increasing. SUMMARY One aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a system for receiving, integrating, storing and managing medical data, and providing the medical data to a user device. The system may include: a medical data management device comprising a hardware processor and a hardware memory; a virtual folder management device comprising a hardware processor and a hardware memory; and a control device comprising a hardware processor and a hardware memory. The hardware processor of the medical data management device may receive medical data through an input interface of the medical data management device, store the received medical data in the hardware memory of the medical data management device, and transmit the stored medical data to at least one selected from the group consisting of the virtual folder management device, the control device, and one or more external devices. The hardware processor of the virtual folder management device may create a virtual folder in the virtual folder management device, and store, in response to a request for storing, received from a user device, address information corresponding to a particular part of the stored medical data, in the virtual folder. The hardware processor of the control device may set at least one condition for storing the medical data in the virtual folder, and control the medical data management device and the virtual folder management device to selectively store the address information that meets the at least one condition, in the virtual folder. The hardware processor of the virtual folder management device may transmit, in response to a request for accessing, received from the user device, the particular part of the stored medical data, corresponding to the address information, to the user device. Other features of the inventive concept are included in the detailed description and drawings. TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENT The integrated medical data management systems according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a large amount of medical data to a user by storing an address that can access data located on an external device a
