Solution Overview

Problem

The complexity of medical treatment involves multiple care providers generating diverse patient data forms, making it challenging to consolidate, access, and provide relevant data in a timely and summarized manner, especially across different locations and remote communication systems.

Innovation Solution

A care management platform that integrates a data extraction engine, recommendation engine, semantic search and question engine, and machine learning retraining feedback mechanisms to ingest, transform, and provide secure real-time provider intelligence information, consolidating structured and unstructured data and presenting it in a usable format to care providers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If data from multiple care providers and locations is consolidated into a centralized repository, then data availability and completeness improve, but data access complexity and time to retrieve relevant information increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoiddata access complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized data repository into organized categories and types (e.g., patient demographics, clinical data, test results, imaging data). Each data type is structured with standardized schemas, allowing care providers to access specific segments relevant to their needs without navigating the entire dataset, thus reducing access complexity while maintaining data availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer (data repository with standardized interfaces) between the centralized data collection and care providers. This intermediary organizes, standardizes, and manages data access through defined protocols, acting as a mediator that simplifies retrieval processes while preserving comprehensive data availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If comprehensive patient data from multiple sources is collected and stored, then care quality and decision-making improve, but the time required to find and access relevant data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecare qualityVSAvoiddata access time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing and structuring patient data into standardized categories during the data ingestion phase. Data is pre-tagged, indexed, and arranged according to care provider needs before retrieval is required. This preliminary organization enables rapid access during clinical decisions, reducing data access time while maintaining comprehensive data availability for high-quality care.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If data is transformed and consolidated from different formats and locations, then data usability and relevance improve, but the complexity of data transformation processes increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata usabilityVSAvoidtransformation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming diverse data formats into a standardized schema with consistent data types, structures, and metadata parameters. The system changes the parameters of incoming data (format, structure, encoding) to match a unified model, making data universally usable across different care providers and systems while managing transformation complexity through automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Speed

If real-time data access is provided to remotely distributed providers, then care responsiveness improves, but network and system infrastructure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata access speedVSAvoidsystem infrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional data repository system that simultaneously serves multiple care providers across different locations through standardized interfaces. The system performs multiple functions (data storage, transformation, retrieval, and distribution) through a unified platform, enabling real-time access for remotely distributed providers without proportionally increasing infrastructure complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A method and apparatus for a care management platform and a user device interacting during the providing of real-time provider intelligence information are described. The method includes receiving, from the user device, a request for patient records relevant to a patient, the request comprising a patient identifier (ID), a care provider identifier (ID), and a care provider context. The method also includes querying a patient data store for patient records based on the patient ID, care provider ID, and care provider context, and performing two or more different types of filtering operations of the returned results to generate a final reduced set of patient records. The method can also include transmitting, to the user device, a response comprising at least a subset of the final reduced set of patient records.
