Blood Purification System Incident Pattern Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blood purification systems face challenges in quickly and appropriately responding to irregular incidents during treatment due to the lack of effective utilization of accumulated treatment histories, making it difficult to identify and prepare for frequent occurrences of specific events or patient conditions.
Innovation Solution
A blood purification system that includes a managing apparatus capable of storing and analyzing treatment histories, an extracting device to search for and calculate frequent-occurrence time slots of specific incidents, and a display control device to visually represent this information on a graph, allowing medical workers to anticipate and respond to potential issues during current sessions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If treatment histories are stored and displayed in the server, then information accumulation and retrieval are improved, but the ability to quickly identify and respond to frequent incident patterns deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of treatment histories by automatically extracting incident patterns and calculating frequent-occurrence time slots before the current treatment session begins. This advance preparation enables medical workers to anticipate potential incidents and respond more quickly when they occur, resolving the contradiction between information retrieval and response time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying the calculated frequent-occurrence time slots on the display device during the current treatment session. This real-time feedback mechanism allows medical workers to compare current treatment progress with historical patterns, enabling faster identification and response to frequent incident patterns.
2Reliability
If detailed treatment histories are accumulated and analyzed, then incident pattern recognition is improved, but system complexity and processing requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The extracting device selectively extracts only the relevant incident information from the comprehensive treatment histories stored in the server. By isolating and extracting only the necessary data points (incidents occurring unsteadily), the system reduces processing complexity while maintaining reliable incident pattern recognition.
Solution Approach 2:
The calculating device processes the extracted incident data by changing the parameter of time organization - transforming raw incident records into frequent-occurrence time slots. This parameter transformation simplifies the data structure and makes pattern recognition more manageable while maintaining prediction accuracy.
3Loss of information
If all treatment information is displayed, then comprehensive information availability is improved, but the ability to quickly grasp critical incident patterns deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display device segments the comprehensive treatment information into two distinct parts: complete treatment information (maintaining completeness) and highlighted frequent-occurrence time slots (enhancing ease of detection). This segmentation allows medical workers to quickly identify critical incident patterns while still having access to full treatment details when needed.

AI summary
A blood purification system is provided that is capable of effectively utilizing accumulated histories stored during blood purification treatment and that helps take a quick and appropriate action in response to a particular incident that occurs unsteadily. In a blood purification system, a history stored in a storage device includes particular incidents having occurred unsteadily in blood purification treatment. The blood purification system includes an extracting device capable of searching the histories accumulated in the storage device and extracting a desired one of the particular incidents, a calculating device capable of calculating a time when the particular incident extracted by the extracting device occurs a predetermined or more number of times as a frequent-occurrence time slot, and a display control device capable of displaying the frequent-occurrence time slot calculated by the calculating device on a display during a current session of blood purification treatment.
