Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional medicine methods are used, then treatment can be administered, but the ability to modify bioactive agent effects in a targeted manner is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to modify bioactive agent effectsVSAvoidcomplexity of treatment system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines medicine with artificial sensory experiences into a unified treatment system. The system integrates prescription medications with sensory stimuli (visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, or tactile) to create a combined therapeutic approach that leverages both pharmacological and sensory pathways to modify bioactive agent effects in a targeted manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system is designed to handle multiple types of bioactive agents and multiple types of sensory experiences through a single integrated platform. The artificial sensory experience can be selected from various modalities (visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile) and can be applied to different classes of medications, making the system universally applicable across diverse treatment scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If personalized treatment combinations are implemented, then treatment efficacy is enhanced and side effects are reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment efficacyVSAvoidcomplexity of combination system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system tailors the artificial sensory experience to the specific attributes of the individual and the particular bioactive agent being administered. Rather than applying a uniform sensory stimulus, the system selects and customizes sensory parameters (type, intensity, duration) based on the specific treatment context, ensuring optimized local effectiveness for each treatment combination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the artificial sensory experience based on real-time detection of individual attributes and treatment response. The sensory parameters can be modified during administration to optimize efficacy and manage side effects, creating an adaptive treatment protocol that evolves based on individual patient characteristics and treatment outcomes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
