Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for analyzing and managing adverse events in Pharmacovigilance are inefficient, requiring manual data entry and parsing of E2B XML files, which leads to increased processing power usage and poor user interface organization, making it difficult to quickly assess and prioritize adverse event information.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for generating adverse event cases that automatically determine medical product ranks and prioritize cases based on event types, using a secure network to connect provider and user computing devices, allowing for automatic population of medical product and study information, and displaying case information on a user interface sorted by severity and importance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual data entry and parsing of E2B XML files is used, then data can be processed, but processing power usage increases and user interface organization deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveadverse event processing efficiencyVSAvoidprocessing power usage

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data entry and XML parsing operations with automated computational processing. The system automatically ingests E2B XML files, extracts adverse event data, populates case fields, and generates medical product rankings without requiring manual intervention, thereby reducing processing power consumption while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically processing incoming E2B XML files, extracting relevant adverse event information, populating case fields, determining medical product causality rankings, and prioritizing cases based on severity. This automation eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces overall processing power requirements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If manual data entry is used, then data can be entered, but user interface organization deteriorates making it difficult to quickly assess adverse event information

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser interface organizationVSAvoidtime to assess adverse event information

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically organizing and prioritizing adverse event data before presentation to the user. Cases are pre-sorted by priority levels (P1, P2, P3) based on adverse event severity, and medical products are pre-ranked by causality assessment, allowing users to immediately assess critical information without manual sorting or organization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The user interface is segmented into distinct priority levels (P1, P2, P3) with P1 cases displaying at the top for immediate attention. This segmentation allows users to quickly assess adverse events by focusing on the most severe cases first, significantly reducing the time required to evaluate adverse event information

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If medical product information is not automatically populated, then data storage is more flexible, but data accessibility and review speed decrease

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidcase review speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual population of medical product information with automated computational processes. The system automatically extracts medical product data from E2B XML files, matches products against the company's product catalog, and populates case fields including medical product names, dosages, and routes of administration, thereby improving both data accessibility and review speed

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method for generating a case including receiving a source file associated with an adverse event and including adverse event information for the adverse event, generating case information including a medical product rank for each medical product of the plurality of medical products associated with the medical product information, generating a priority of the case based on the type of the event, and providing the case information to a user computing device to be displayed on a user interface. The user interface includes a medical products section including a medical product representation for each of the medical products. Each medical product representation is arranged on the medical products section based on the medical product rank such that a first medical product representation including a first medical product rank is located above a second medical product representation including a second medical product rank on the medical products section.
