Anatomical Avatar Interface for Clinical Documentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current clinical documentation systems lack efficient methods for associating photographic images with anatomical images and providing intuitive interfaces for selecting and documenting patient conditions and treatments, which hinders effective clinical documentation.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface for healthcare software applications that allows users to interact with three-dimensional anatomical avatars, associate photographic images with specific hotspots, and drag-and-drop list items for clinical documentation, enabling enhanced visualization and documentation of patient conditions and treatments.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional clinical documentation systems are used, then documentation can be completed, but the process is inefficient and lacks intuitive image association with anatomical regions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a two-dimensional representation (anatomical image) that copies or represents the three-dimensional human body structure. This allows users to interact with a simplified visual model rather than the actual complex anatomical structures, making image association more intuitive and efficient while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The anatomical image serves as an intermediary between the patient's actual condition and the clinical documentation system. By dragging and dropping images onto specific regions of the anatomical image, users can intuitively associate clinical images with anatomical locations without complex coordinate systems or manual mapping procedures.
2Measurement precision
If detailed anatomical regions are used for documentation, then precision of condition documentation is improved, but the interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The anatomical image is segmented into multiple interactive regions or hotspots corresponding to different anatomical areas. Each region can be independently selected and associated with clinical images, allowing precise documentation of specific body parts while maintaining a unified, simple interface structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the anatomical image have different properties or functionalities. Each anatomical region can be configured to accept specific types of clinical images or documentation, allowing precise local documentation while maintaining overall system simplicity through consistent interaction patterns.
