Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If psychiatrist consultations are used for ADHD diagnosis, then treatment can be provided, but reliability and accessibility deteriorate due to expert unavailability in remote areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service diagnosis through automated machine learning models that analyze brain imaging data and behavioral patterns, allowing patients to receive ADHD diagnosis without requiring psychiatrist consultations. The model processes fMRI scans and behavioral questionnaires to provide diagnostic results independently, eliminating the need for expert availability while maintaining consistent diagnostic reliability across all locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an artificial intelligence system as an intermediary between patients and psychiatrists. This intermediary automatically processes diagnostic data including brain imaging and behavioral assessments, providing diagnosis recommendations without requiring direct psychiatrist-patient interaction. The intermediary maintains diagnostic reliability while dramatically improving accessibility to remote areas.
2Measurement precision
If traditional classification methods are used for ADHD prediction, then system complexity is reduced, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite diagnostic approach that combines multiple data sources including fMRI brain imaging data, behavioral questionnaire responses, and demographic information. These diverse data types are integrated into a unified machine learning model that achieves high diagnostic accuracy. The composite nature of the input data and the ensemble modeling strategy improve measurement precision while managing system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The machine learning model serves multiple functions: it processes various types of input data (imaging, behavioral, demographic), performs feature extraction and selection, generates diagnostic predictions, and provides interpretability through feature importance analysis. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single unified platform, improving accuracy without proportionally increasing complexity.
3Ease of operation
If remote healthcare framework is implemented, then accessibility is improved, but treatment reliability may deteriorate without expert supervision
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where diagnostic results and treatment recommendations are automatically communicated to patients through the remote platform. The model continuously learns from aggregated diagnostic data and outcome information, refining its predictions over time. This automated feedback loop maintains treatment reliability by ensuring consistent application of diagnostic criteria and enabling continuous model improvement without requiring constant expert supervision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary diagnostic actions automatically through the machine learning model before expert review is needed. The system pre-processes brain imaging data, extracts relevant features, generates initial diagnosis recommendations, and prepares treatment suggestions in advance. This preliminary action enables rapid remote assessment while maintaining reliability through structured automated analysis that can be subsequently reviewed by experts if needed.
Data Source
AI summary
The system comprises a prediction module (1) equipped with artificial intelligence to predict neurological disorders in an individual patient and identify a level of neurological disorders; a central processing unit (2) to detect triggering events and circumstances due to which the neurological disorders trigger in an individual patient upon receiving real-time behavior information data generated by a playing ball (3) of an individual patient and distinguish between a normal behavior and a neurological disorders behavior; an alert module (4) to alert the individual patient upon determining neurological disorders behavior; and an entertainment platform (5) to entertain and engage the individual patient with a specific set of activities assigned according to detected triggering events and circumstances upon determining the neurological disorders behavior, wherein a specific set of activities includes listening to music, playing games, and talking to an AI chatbot.
