AI Assistant Health Information Security Through Unauthorized-Person Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In residential environments, ensuring secure and proper sharing of health information is challenging due to the open nature of the setting, which makes access restriction difficult, unlike closed healthcare environments.
Innovation Solution
An AI assistant device employs a machine learning model to identify unauthorized persons and manage access to health information by generating audio deferrals or alerts, ensuring that only authorized individuals receive the requested information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If access restriction procedures are implemented in a closed healthcare environment, then data security is improved, but device complexity and operational difficulty increase in open residential environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical access control mechanisms (doors, badges, security personnel) with an AI-based auditory detection system. The AI assistant uses machine learning to analyze audio patterns and identify unauthorized persons through voice characteristics, eliminating the need for complex physical security infrastructure in residential settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The AI assistant acts as an intermediary between the healthcare information system and the residential environment. It mediates access to health information by detecting unauthorized persons and preventing information disclosure, thereby simplifying the access control mechanism while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If AI assistant generates audio deferral to prevent unauthorized access, then data security is improved, but information accessibility deteriorates for authorized users
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the AI assistant continuously monitors the environment, detects unauthorized persons, and dynamically adjusts its response behavior. When authorized users request information, the system provides feedback about the presence of unauthorized persons and only discloses information when it is safe to do so, ensuring both security and accessibility.
Data Source
AI summary
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for security management of health information using artificial intelligence assistant by receiving, at an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant device from a requestor in an environment, an utterance including a request to provide health information related to a patient and confirming, via a machine learning model hosted by the AI assistant device, whether an unauthorized person is present in the environment with the AI assistant device, where the unauthorized person is not permitted by the patient to receive the health information but is permitted to interact with the AI assistant device. Further, in response to determining that the unauthorized person is present, generating, by the AI assistant device, an audio deferral that does not include the health information that was requested.
