Solution Overview

Problem

Critical devices, such as medical devices, often face issues with real-time misinterpretations and fluctuating parameters, leading to critical event mishaps due to human error and unforeseen interruptions, requiring re-execution or re-planning of processes without dynamic estimation of influencing factors.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that identify missed or incorrect time-critical events by comparing reference and observed values, providing a revised execution plan based on historical data, practitioner input, and metadata, allowing for adaptive re-planning without repeating complete procedural sequences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional systems re-execute complete processes or create re-plans for critical event mishaps, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecritical event managementVSAvoidre-execution time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the procedural sequence into individual events and identifies only the missed or incorrect events rather than re-executing the entire process. The system divides the complete procedure into discrete time-critical events, compares observed events against the procedural sequence, and isolates only the specific events that require correction, thereby reducing re-execution time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by providing a revised execution plan that addresses only the missed or incorrect events rather than the complete procedural sequence. The system generates a partial re-plan that contains only the necessary corrections and time-critical events that need attention, avoiding the time waste of re-executing unchanged portions of the procedure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Reliability

If conventional systems re-execute complete processes for critical event mishaps, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecritical event managementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service through an automated system that independently monitors procedural sequences, detects missed or incorrect events, compares observed events against reference procedures, and generates revised execution plans without requiring manual intervention. The system automatically identifies time-critical events, determines which events require correction, and provides targeted re-planning, thereby improving reliability while avoiding the complexity of manual re-execution coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If conventional systems require re-execution of complete processes, then manufacturing precision is improved, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocedural accuracyVSAvoidevent execution efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-identifying and monitoring time-critical events within the procedural sequence before execution occurs. The system预先 establishes the procedural sequence, identifies which events are time-critical, and prepares for rapid detection and correction of missed or incorrect events, thereby maintaining procedural accuracy while improving execution efficiency through targeted rather than complete re-execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses method and a critical event managing system for managing time-critical events associated with critical devices. The critical event managing system identifies time-critical events from plurality of events based on predetermined factors related to the plurality of events. The plurality of events is determined from first procedural sequences identified from procedural narration by a practitioner and stored protocol manual. At least one of missed and incorrect events are determined based on comparison between reference and observed values associated with critical devices. A revised execution plan is provided iteratively based on historical data, data provided by practitioner, first procedural sequences, and metadata associated with plurality of parameters. The missed and incorrect events are executed as second procedural sequences based on revised execution plan, thereafter, outcome from execution of first procedural sequences and second procedural sequences is combined in order to manage time-critical events associated with critical devices.
