Solution Overview

Problem

Current biometric monitoring technologies fail to effectively capture and analyze biometric data without the use of biometric capable devices, limiting their ability to detect biomarker changes and intervene in health issues in a timely manner.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize audio preferences to detect biomarker identifier changes by analyzing current and historic audio preferences and biometric data, creating a user biometric profile, and generating alerts based on detected changes, allowing for passive collection of biometric information without additional user action.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If biometric capable devices are used to capture biometric data, then measurement precision and reliability of biomarker detection are improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebiomarker detection accuracyVSAvoidbiometric capable device requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a biometric profile that copies and represents complex biometric data patterns in a simplified form. Instead of requiring complex biometric devices, the system captures audio preferences and behavioral patterns that serve as proxies or copies of underlying biomarker states, enabling detection without specialized hardware

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces audio preferences and behavioral data as intermediary indicators that mediate between the user's internal biomarker states and external observation. These intermediaries allow indirect measurement of biomarkers through easily collectable data like music preferences, exercise choices, and spending patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If passive biometric collection is implemented without biometric capable devices, then ease of operation and user accessibility are improved, but measurement precision and reliability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepassive data collectionVSAvoidbiomarker change detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the biometric monitoring task into multiple independent data sources (audio preferences, exercise patterns, spending behavior, social interactions) rather than relying on a single complex biometric measurement. Each segment contributes partial information that, when combined, provides comprehensive biomarker detection with high precision through passive collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If comprehensive biometric data is collected and analyzed, then reliability of health monitoring is improved, but loss of time for data processing and analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth monitoring accuracyVSAvoiddata analysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and storing biometric data in the form of a biometric profile before clinical events occur. This pre-processing and accumulation of data in structured formats enables rapid analysis and immediate detection of biomarker changes when needed, reducing processing time during critical moments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
