Solution Overview

Problem

Existing healthcare systems lack the ability to empower patients to self-manage post-diagnosis care by failing to make analytical inferences from patient behavior and clinical data, and adapt action plans based on discovered patterns, thus being 'not smart' and unable to learn.

Innovation Solution

The development of an Adaptive Analytical Behavioral and Health Assistant (AABHA) system that collects patient behavior and clinical information, learns patterns using pattern recognition algorithms, identifies interventions, and prepares plans to prevent or facilitate events, with the ability to receive feedback, revise plans, and automatically make inferences using machine learning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional healthcare systems use individual data for diagnosis and medical decision support, then basic healthcare functions are provided, but the systems lack the ability to empower patients to self-manage post-diagnosis care and adapt action plans based on discovered patterns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to adapt action plansVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex healthcare management task into distinct functional modules: a pattern recognition module that discovers patterns from patient data, an intervention identification module that selects appropriate actions, and a plan preparation module that creates personalized care plans. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to patient needs through pattern discovery while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic adaptability by continuously learning patterns from patient behavior and clinical data, then automatically adjusting action plans based on discovered patterns. The plan adaptation is dynamic because it responds to changing patient conditions and newly identified patterns, transforming static healthcare protocols into adaptive, patient-specific care pathways.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If healthcare systems implement pattern recognition and machine learning capabilities to learn from patient data, then the systems become smart and adaptive, but the computational requirements and data processing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary pattern recognition by analyzing patient data to discover patterns before clinical events occur. This preliminary action enables the system to predict potential health issues and prepare intervention plans in advance, improving predictive accuracy while managing computational complexity through proactive rather than reactive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where patient outcomes and behavior changes are continuously monitored and fed back into the pattern recognition module. This feedback mechanism allows the system to refine its patterns and improve predictive accuracy over time, while the iterative nature of feedback processing manages computational complexity by building on previously learned patterns rather than requiring complete re-analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the system collects and analyzes comprehensive patient behavior and clinical information to create personalized plans, then patient outcomes improve, but the amount of data to be processed and stored increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepatient monitoring accuracyVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant features and patterns from comprehensive patient data for analysis, rather than processing all raw data. By taking out and focusing on critical information elements that drive patient outcomes, the system achieves high measurement precision in monitoring patient status while reducing the effective data volume that requires intensive processing and storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
