Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack a systematic and accurate approach to evaluate the risk of lifestyle-related diseases using amino acid concentrations, particularly for preventive medicine, as existing biomarker evaluations fail to effectively predict future risks of diseases like cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize amino acid concentration data from blood to evaluate the future risk of lifestyle-related diseases by analyzing specific amino acid concentrations, converting values into standardized scores, and applying evaluation formulas to provide reliable predictive information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If amino acid concentration data is used to evaluate future risk of lifestyle-related diseases, then the ability to predict future disease risk is improved, but the systematic and accurate evaluation method was previously lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefuture risk prediction accuracyVSAvoidevaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms raw amino acid concentration data into standardized scores through mathematical transformation. This parameter change enables systematic evaluation by converting complex concentration variations into comparable standardized metrics that can be systematically analyzed for disease risk prediction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system segments the complex task of disease risk prediction into distinct components: data acquisition, standardized score calculation, and risk level determination. This segmentation creates a systematic approach that improves reliability while managing complexity through structured processing steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive amino acid analysis is performed to accurately evaluate disease risk, then measurement precision is improved, but the complexity of comprehensive analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamino acid concentration measurement accuracyVSAvoidcomprehensive analysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts specific amino acid concentration data from comprehensive blood analysis and focuses evaluation on these key parameters. By extracting only the necessary amino acid measurements rather than analyzing all blood components, the system achieves precise disease risk evaluation while reducing analytical complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial analysis by selecting specific amino acids that are most relevant for lifestyle-related disease prediction rather than analyzing all possible biomarkers. This partial action approach maintains measurement precision for critical parameters while avoiding the complexity of exhaustive comprehensive analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
