Solution Overview

Problem

Current diet and disease management programs are ineffective due to lack of personalized behavior modification, inadequate integration of lifestyle elements, and high costs associated with personalized coaching, which limits accessibility and adherence, especially with busy lifestyles and the absence of genetic testing integration.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implementable method and system for integrated and personalized management of nutrition, fitness, and behavior that captures individual attributes, matches them to program templates, and automatically establishes tailored programs, incorporating genetic evaluation and virtual coaching for improved accessibility and affordability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If personalized coaching and training are provided to address individual behavior modification needs, then behavior modification results improve, but cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior modification resultsVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables individuals to self-assess their behavior patterns, personality traits, and lifestyle factors through automated questionnaires and assessments. The system then automatically generates personalized behavior modification programs without requiring continuous human coach intervention, allowing users to serve themselves while still receiving customized guidance based on their unique characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human-on-human coaching interactions with an automated computer-based system that uses algorithms, databases, and software to analyze individual attributes and generate personalized programs. This substitution maintains the personalization benefit while eliminating the high cost associated with human coach time and expertise.

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

2Reliability

If in-person coaching meetings are scheduled regularly to provide personalized guidance, then behavior modification effectiveness improves, but time commitment increases making it difficult for busy individuals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebehavior modification effectivenessVSAvoidtime commitment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows users to access personalized guidance, feedback, and program adjustments at any time through automated digital interfaces. Individuals can review their personalized programs, track their progress, and receive guidance without needing to schedule or attend in-person meetings, completely eliminating the time commitment barrier while maintaining effectiveness through on-demand access to personalized content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides periodic automated feedback and program adjustments based on user progress data, replacing the need for frequent in-person meetings. The automated system checks in with users at scheduled intervals, provides feedback on their behavior changes, and adjusts their programs periodically, maintaining effectiveness without requiring continuous time investment from busy individuals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Productivity

If current standardized diet and disease management programs are implemented, then resource allocation improves, but effectiveness decreases due to lack of personalization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidprogram effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically adjusts program parameters such as nutrition recommendations, exercise prescriptions, and behavior modification strategies based on individual assessments of personality traits, lifestyle factors, genetic predispositions, and current behavior patterns. This dynamic parameter adjustment allows the system to maintain high resource allocation efficiency while delivering personalized effectiveness for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms static standardized programs into dynamic personalized programs that automatically adapt to individual characteristics. The system continuously monitors user progress and adjusts program parameters in real-time based on individual responses, making the program flexible and adaptive while maintaining efficient resource utilization through automated delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive individual assessments and personalized coaching are provided, then program tailoring improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogram tailoringVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the comprehensive assessment and program generation process into distinct modular components: personality assessment modules, lifestyle evaluation modules, genetic analysis modules, and program generation modules. Each module handles a specific aspect of personalization independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive adaptability through the integration of these specialized segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
