Cardiovascular Health Assessment Score Using Central and Peripheral Measures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cardiovascular health assessments fail to provide a comprehensive picture of how individuals respond to treatments and interventions by not combining central and peripheral measures of cardiovascular function, leading to suboptimal or detrimental interventions.
Innovation Solution
An evaluation system that determines working tissue flow by combining central and peripheral measures, such as total blood drive, arterial stiffness, local dilation response, and autonomic constriction index, to generate a cardiovascular health assessment score, enabling individualized interventions tailored to the subject's specific limitations and objectives.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If centralized and peripheral cardiovascular measures are considered independently, then each measure can be obtained using standard testing procedures, but the comprehensive understanding of individual response to treatments is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines centralized cardiovascular measures (blood pressure, heart rate) with peripheral measures (endothelial function, reactive hyperemia) into a unified assessment framework. This merging allows the system to evaluate both central cardiac function and peripheral vascular response simultaneously, providing a comprehensive picture of how individuals respond to treatments and interventions.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system is designed to perform multiple functions: it assesses centralized cardiovascular parameters, peripheral endothelial function, and integrates these into a unified individualized response profile. This multi-functional approach enables the same system to provide both diagnostic information and predictive capabilities for treatment response across different patient populations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional cardiovascular screening measures are used, then the assessment is simple and quick, but it fails to provide individualized intervention guidance
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of both centralized and peripheral cardiovascular measures during routine screenings. By collecting and integrating this data in advance, the system creates an individualized cardiovascular profile that can later be used to quickly guide treatment decisions and interventions without requiring additional time-consuming tests when treatment planning is needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system provides feedback by comparing an individual's combined centralized and peripheral measures against population norms and treatment response patterns. This feedback mechanism enables the system to generate personalized intervention recommendations that adapt to the individual's specific cardiovascular characteristics, allowing for tailored treatment guidance based on the comprehensive assessment data.

AI summary
A cardiovascular health assessment score, representing a working tissue flow and indicating the dependence on central and peripheral control mechanisms, is generated by an evaluation system and used to support a variety of individualized medicine and health applications. One or more of the individualized medicine and health applications may be implemented as part of the evaluation system and incorporate the cardiovascular health assessment.
