Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack an effective method for aggregating and analyzing healthcare data to generate clinically validated diagnostic measures and predictive analytics for managing autoimmune and inflammatory-related conditions, disorders, and diseases, particularly in accurately monitoring and managing conditions like Lupus, which presents challenges due to subjective symptoms and unpredictable flares.

Innovation Solution

An AI-powered platform that aggregates data from various sources, including wearable devices, Lab Information Management Systems, and electronic medical records, using machine learning models like artificial neural networks to provide diagnostic measures and recommendations for healthcare providers, enabling proactive management of autoimmune conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional healthcare monitoring methods are used for autoimmune diseases, then patient visits are scheduled regularly, but flares occurring between visits go unreported or inaccurately described

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease monitoring accuracyVSAvoidtime between scheduled visits
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection and analysis before scheduled visits by continuously monitoring patient data through wearable devices and mobile applications. This allows the system to detect flare symptoms early and prepare predictive analytics in advance, enabling clinicians to address issues proactively rather than reactively during scheduled visits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where patient data from wearable devices is automatically collected, analyzed by machine learning models, and used to generate real-time insights and alerts. This feedback mechanism ensures that clinicians receive updated information about patient status between visits, improving monitoring accuracy without requiring more frequent scheduled appointments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive healthcare data aggregation is implemented, then diagnostic precision improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic precisionVSAvoiddata aggregation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data aggregation into modular components: wearable device data collection, mobile application data entry, electronic health record integration, and machine learning analysis modules. Each component handles specific data types and processing tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data aggregation capabilities for improved diagnostic precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary layers including standardized data protocols, automated data cleaning algorithms, and machine learning models that translate raw multi-source data into clinically actionable insights. These intermediaries simplify the integration process between diverse data sources and clinical decision-making systems, reducing complexity while preserving diagnostic precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning models analyze aggregated healthcare data, then predictive analytics capability improves, but computational resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive analytics capabilityVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by using machine learning models selectively for specific predictive tasks rather than analyzing all data comprehensively. The system identifies key flare predictors and focuses computational resources on analyzing those specific parameters, reducing overall computational resource consumption while maintaining effective predictive analytics capability for clinical decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

An artificial intelligence (AI) system and methods for management of an autoimmune or inflammatory condition, disorder or disease in a patient for the diagnosis, prognosis, or risk assessment of symptoms thereof. The AI system includes patient and provider applications and a payer application interface accessible via a communications network. The system contains a data-driven recommendation engine using machine learning and/or deep learning based on active monitoring of patients with an autoimmune or inflammatory-related condition, disorder, or disease. The system can alert clinicians to an impending symptom flare and provide a treatment solution that reduces symptom severity, reduces or eliminates the onset.
