Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for predicting drug side effects are limited by relying solely on data from original clinical trials, which do not account for individual patient variations, especially in designer diseases where each patient's presentation is unique.

Innovation Solution

The development of an AI-based system that utilizes machine learning models to predict drug side effects by analyzing molecular structure information and electronic health records, creating personalized predictions for each patient.

1Measurement precision

If data from original clinical trials is used to predict side effects, then the prediction method is simple and data is available, but individual patient variations cannot be accounted for

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the prediction system into multiple specialized machine learning models: a molecular structure analysis model that processes drug molecular graphs, a patient profile analysis model that processes electronic health records, and a side effect prediction model that integrates both. This segmentation allows each model to specialize in specific data types while collectively achieving personalized prediction accuracy that accounts for individual patient variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms molecular structure data into molecular embedding vectors and patient health record data into patient embedding vectors through neural network processing. These parameter transformations convert raw data into standardized representations that can be effectively combined and analyzed for personalized side effect prediction, enabling the system to handle individual patient variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If AI-based machine learning models are used to analyze molecular structure and patient data, then patient-specific side effects can be predicted accurately, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces embedding vectors as intermediary representations between raw molecular structure data/patient health records and the final side effect prediction. The molecular embedding vector captures drug-specific features while the patient embedding vector captures patient-specific characteristics. These intermediaries enable reliable personalized predictions by systematically integrating multiple data sources without requiring direct complex interactions between all input elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs universal embedding vector representations that can accommodate different molecular structures and diverse patient profiles within a unified framework. The same neural network architecture processes both molecular data and patient health record data, converting them into compatible vector formats that can be combined for prediction. This multi-functional approach maintains reliability across different input types while managing system complexity through architectural consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
