Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual medical screening and diagnosis is performed by healthcare providers, then human expertise and judgment can be applied, but the accuracy of diagnosis is compromised due to inexperience, stress, and variability in provider expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of clinical assessment with an autonomous robotic system equipped with sensors and machine learning algorithms. The robotic device autonomously performs data collection, integration, and diagnostic reasoning, substituting human healthcare providers with an automated intelligent system that eliminates variability and stress-related errors in diagnosis.
Solution Approach 2:
The robotic device is designed to autonomously perform the entire medical screening and diagnosis process without human intervention. It self-manages data acquisition from multiple sensors, integrates clinical evidence, applies machine learning models to determine diagnoses, and provides treatment recommendations, thereby serving itself as a complete autonomous diagnostic system.
2Productivity
If traditional manual screening processes are used, then comprehensive clinical evidence can be gathered, but the process is time-consuming and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The robotic device continuously collects data from multiple sensors simultaneously and processes clinical evidence in real-time without interruption. The system maintains continuous operation throughout the screening process, eliminating the sequential delays inherent in manual assessment where providers must systematically evaluate each piece of evidence one after another.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data integration and analysis automatically as data is being collected, rather than waiting until all data collection is complete. The machine learning models begin processing clinical evidence in advance, preparing diagnostic recommendations before the full assessment is finalized, thereby reducing overall diagnosis time.
