Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If medical practitioners manually assess blood test result data from multiple machines, then they can integrate comprehensive diagnostic information, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically interpreting blood test results and generating diagnostic suggestions without requiring manual analysis by medical practitioners. The algorithm autonomously processes data from multiple machines, compares it against threshold values, and produces structured diagnostic outputs, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual assessment process while maintaining comprehensive information integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual assessment process with an automated computer-based system. The algorithm substitutes human cognitive processing with computational operations, automatically comparing test results against stored threshold values and generating diagnostic suggestions. This substitution eliminates the time consumption associated with manual data integration while maintaining the comprehensive analysis capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different hospitals impose different standards for blood test results, then local clinical needs can be met, but complexity and variability increase in clinical decision-making
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamics by allowing configurable threshold values that can be dynamically adjusted according to different hospital standards and clinical protocols. The algorithm adapts its reference criteria based on user-defined parameters, enabling each facility to customize the interpretation standards while maintaining a unified automated processing framework. This dynamic configurability resolves the contradiction by allowing local adaptation without increasing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies parameter changes by modifying threshold values and reference criteria to match different hospital standards. The system allows users to adjust critical parameters such as diagnostic thresholds and weightings to align with local clinical guidelines. This parameter customization enables adaptability to different institutions while maintaining standardized automated processing, thereby reducing decision-making complexity despite varying clinical requirements.
3Productivity
If automated result interpretation is implemented, then time for analysis is reduced and standardization is improved, but the system must handle complex data from multiple machines
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by designing a multi-functional algorithm that can process various types of blood test data from different machine manufacturers and platforms. The unified algorithm handles diverse data formats and test parameters through a single integrated framework, comparing all results against configurable threshold values. This multi-functionality enables high-speed automated analysis of complex multi-machine data without requiring separate processing systems for each data source, thereby improving productivity while managing data integration complexity through standardization.
