Biological Information Measurement Device Data Sufficiency Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current biological information measurement devices fail to ensure that sufficient data is collected for accurate diagnosis, leading to incomplete or delayed medical assessments, as users may not measure necessary information before hospital visits.
Innovation Solution
A biological information measurement device and accompanying program that determine the achievement status of predefined conditions related to measured data and notify users of any deficiencies, allowing for timely and correct diagnosis by ensuring sufficient data collection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the subject measures biological information at designated times using a biological information measurement device, then the biological information is recorded for diagnosis, but there is a possibility that insufficient samples are collected for correct diagnosis determination
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically notifying the subject of measurement status before the hospital visit occurs. The notification is sent in advance to inform the subject whether sufficient biological information has been collected, allowing the subject to take corrective action (continue measuring) before the diagnosis time arrives, thus preventing insufficient data from reaching the hospital.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by sending notifications to the subject about the collection status of biological information. This feedback loop allows the subject to understand whether the required number of samples has been obtained and to adjust measurement behavior accordingly, ensuring sufficient data is collected before the diagnosis appointment.
2Ease of operation
If the subject carries the biological information measurement device to the hospital with stored measurements, then the doctor can check the biological information, but the diagnosis may be delayed if insufficient information is collected
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system provides feedback to the subject about whether sufficient biological information has been collected during home measurements. This allows the subject to verify data adequacy before leaving home, ensuring that the convenience of home measurement does not compromise the sufficiency of diagnostic data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the subject to independently check the collection status of their own biological information through notifications. The subject can determine whether sufficient data has been gathered without requiring external verification, empowering them to ensure data adequacy before the hospital visit.
3Reliability
If additional measurements are requested to correctly perform a diagnosis, then sufficient data can be collected, but the diagnosis process becomes longer and more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of data sufficiency through automated notifications before the diagnosis process begins. By checking whether the required number of biological information samples has been collected in advance, the system prevents the need for additional measurements during the diagnosis process, thereby reducing overall complexity while maintaining diagnostic correctness.

AI summary
A diagnosis assistance device, diagnosis assistance method, and diagnosis assistance program which enable checking whether information necessary for a diagnosis is accumulated or not, and which can assist a prompt and correct diagnosis are provided. A biological information measurement device 1 includes a system controller 11 which assists a diagnosis which is performed by using a plurality of sets of biological information that are measured from a subject, and that are stored in a storage medium 13. The system controller 11 includes: an achievement status determining section 11B which determines an achievement status of a predetermined condition related to biological information that is measured from the subject, based on the plurality of sets of biological information stored in the storage medium 13; and a notification processing section 11D which performs a process of notifying of the achievement status.
