Biometric Data Intermediary for Remote Medical Examination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In online medical examinations, it is challenging for doctors to accurately obtain biometric information from patients due to the physical distance between them, limiting the types of biometric information that can be acquired and potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes an acquisition unit to collect biometric information from a wearable device attached to the patient, a storage unit to store the information, a display control unit to show the information on a medical facility terminal, a reception unit to receive control instructions, and an instruction unit to control the wearable device based on these instructions, allowing for real-time acquisition and display of biometric data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If online medical examinations are conducted remotely, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but measurement precision and reliability of biometric information deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the patient's terminal (wearing the sensor) and the doctor's terminal. The server collects biometric information from multiple sources, manages data aggregation, and transmits it to the doctor, enabling remote examination while maintaining data quality through centralized coordination
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple biometric information sources (wearable sensors on patient, terminal information, and data from multiple devices) into a single comprehensive dataset managed by the server, allowing the doctor to access integrated biometric information that compensates for remote examination limitations
2Adaptability or versatility
If doctors remotely examine patients online, then geographical limitations are overcome, but the ability to accurately obtain biometric information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal system where the server can handle various types of biometric data from different sources (wearable devices, terminal information, multiple sensors) and make them accessible through a single interface to doctors, regardless of the original data source or format
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where the server continuously receives biometric information from wearable sensors, processes the data, and provides it back to the doctor in real-time or near-real-time, allowing for ongoing monitoring and verification of data quality throughout the examination process

AI summary
This information processing apparatus comprises: an acquisition means that acquires subject's biometric information acquired by a sensor provided in a first terminal attached to the subject, and terminal information including the type of the first terminal; a storage means that stores the biometric information and the terminal information that have been acquired; a display control means that displays the biometric information and the terminal information on a display means of a second terminal different from the first terminal; an acceptance means that accepts control information with respect to the first terminal from the second terminal; and an instruction means that instructs the first terminal to control the first terminal on the basis of the control information that has been accepted.
