Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mental health assessment and management procedures are resource-intensive, time-intensive, and error-prone, failing to effectively process and integrate caregiver-related data, leading to inadequate management of mental distress and social rhythm disruptions in patients and caregivers.

Innovation Solution

The use of artificial intelligence techniques to analyze patient-caregiver dyadic biomarker data, predicting mental distress and social rhythm disruptions through phenotypic characterization and multivariate time series modeling with probabilistic transformers, and initiating automated interactions to mitigate these issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional mental health assessment procedures are used, then resource consumption and time consumption are high, but prediction accuracy and integration of caregiver data are insufficient

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges patient data and caregiver data into a unified dyadic analysis framework. The system integrates multiple data sources including electronic health records, wearable device data, and caregiver reports into a single predictive model that assesses the patient-caregiver system as a whole, thereby improving prediction accuracy while avoiding the need for separate complex assessment procedures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an artificial intelligence-based predictive analytics platform as an intermediary between raw data collection and clinical decision-making. This intermediary layer processes and integrates diverse data sources, transforming them into actionable predictions about mental distress and social rhythm disruption, thereby reducing the complexity burden on clinicians while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional assessment procedures are used, then data processing capability is limited, but implementation simplicity is maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal predictive analytics platform that can process multiple types of data (electronic health records, wearable sensor data, caregiver reports) through a single integrated system. The AI model is designed to handle diverse data formats and sources uniformly, enabling versatile data processing without requiring separate specialized systems for each data type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual data processing and analysis mechanisms with automated artificial intelligence algorithms. The system automatically collects, integrates, and analyzes data from multiple sources using machine learning models, eliminating the need for manual data compilation and analysis while significantly enhancing data processing capability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Measurement precision

If dyadic biomarker data analysis is implemented, then prediction accuracy improves, but computational resource requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and analyzes only the most relevant features and biomarkers from the dyadic data set using the predictive model. Rather than processing all available data equally, the system identifies and focuses on key predictive indicators, thereby maintaining high prediction accuracy while reducing the computational resources required for data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Methods, systems, and computer program products for predicting states from patient-caregiver dyadic biomarker data using artificial intelligence are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining biomarker data derived from one or more dyads, each dyad comprising at least one patient and at least one caregiver associated with the at least one patient; determining, based on processing the obtained biomarker data, data-based representations of mental distress and/or social rhythm disruption among at least one of the one or more dyads; predicting mental distress and/or social rhythm disruption among a given dyad of at least one patient and at least one caregiver associated with the at least one patient by processing input biomarker data, derived from the given dyad, using artificial intelligence techniques in connection with at least a portion of the data-based representations; and performing automated actions based on the predicting.
