Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals often require diagnostic analysis of physiological information but face challenges in accessing comprehensive medical diagnostics outside traditional healthcare settings.
Innovation Solution
A system and method utilizing an avatar engine that retrieves user profiles, interacts with users through avatars, collects physiological data, and provides diagnostic analysis via a medical diagnostic system, presenting results through the avatar.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional in-person diagnostic analysis is used, then comprehensive medical diagnostics can be performed, but accessibility and convenience are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an avatar as an intermediary between the user and the medical diagnostic system. The avatar collects physiological information from the user through interactive conversation, processes this information, and presents it to medical professionals for analysis. This intermediary approach enables remote diagnostics while maintaining comprehensive medical evaluation capabilities, resolving the contradiction between accessibility and system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If remote diagnostic services are implemented, then accessibility improves, but measurement precision and reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the avatar engages in iterative conversation with the user to clarify and verify physiological information. The avatar asks follow-up questions, requests additional details, and validates responses to ensure accurate data collection. This feedback loop compensates for the lack of direct medical professional involvement in data collection, maintaining measurement precision while enabling convenient remote access.
3Reliability
If comprehensive physiological information is collected remotely, then diagnostic quality improves, but time required for data collection increases
Solution Approach 1:
The avatar performs preliminary actions by proactively gathering, organizing, and pre-processing physiological information before it reaches the medical professional. The avatar conducts initial assessments, structures the collected data, and prepares comprehensive reports in advance. This preliminary processing ensures that when medical professionals review the case, they receive well-organized, comprehensive information ready for analysis, reducing the overall time required while maintaining diagnostic quality.

AI summary
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an avatar engine having a controller to retrieve a user profile of a user, present the user an avatar having characteristics that correlate to the user profile, detect one or more responses of the user during a communication exchange between the user and the avatar, identify from the one or more responses a need to determine a medical status of the user, establish communications with a medical diagnostic system, receive physiological information associated with the user, submit the physiological information to the medical diagnostic system, receive from the medical diagnostic system a diagnostic analysis of the physiological information, and present the diagnostic analysis to at least one of the user and a medical agent of the user, wherein the user is presented the diagnostic analysis by way of the avatar. Other embodiments are disclosed.
