Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If patients receive outpatient or inpatient treatment for bedsores, then treatment effectiveness is improved, but accessibility and convenience deteriorate due to difficulty in moving to receive treatment
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables patients to perform self-diagnosis and self-treatment by providing AI-based bedsores stage evaluation and treatment recommendation services that can be accessed at home, eliminating the need for patients to physically travel to medical facilities while maintaining effective treatment through professional-grade AI analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The AI evaluation system acts as an intermediary between patients and medical professionals, providing automated assessment and treatment recommendations that bridge the gap between home care and professional medical treatment, making effective treatment accessible without requiring patient mobility
2Measurement precision
If AI technology is used to analyze bedsore images, then diagnosis accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses pre-trained AI models and pre-processed image datasets to achieve high diagnosis accuracy without requiring complex real-time analysis infrastructure, effectively copying the expertise of experienced physicians into automated algorithms that can be deployed with minimal system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The AI model is pre-trained on extensive datasets of bedsores at different stages, performing the complex analysis work before actual use. This preliminary training allows the system to deliver accurate diagnoses without requiring complex computational resources or expertise during patient interaction
3Ease of operation
If remote management is implemented, then patient convenience is improved, but monitoring frequency and treatment adjustment may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides continuous feedback to patients through automated evaluation and treatment recommendations, creating an active monitoring loop that compensates for the reduced frequency of direct medical visits by maintaining ongoing professional guidance and timely intervention cues
