Problem

Existing resident care management solutions are labor-intensive, lack electronic automation, and fail to provide customized interfaces and escalation procedures for users, leading to inefficiencies in information flow and task completion.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for personalized resident care management that includes a network of user devices with interactive interfaces, a central controller for authenticating users based on their roles, and a database for modifying information layouts and generating notifications, enabling efficient data entry and escalation of actionable items across different user roles.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual processes are used for care management, then implementation is simple, but productivity is low and information flow is disrupted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecaregiver efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service functionality where the care management system automatically processes information flow, generates notifications, and manages data without requiring manual intervention at each step. This automation increases productivity while the centralized architecture manages complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides multi-functional capabilities including data entry, information flow management, notification generation, and role-based access control within a single integrated platform. This universal system handles multiple care management tasks simultaneously, improving productivity without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If a single interface is used for all users, then device complexity is low, but adaptability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface customizationVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing customized interfaces tailored to specific user roles (doctors, nurses, caregivers, administrators). Each role receives a customized view and controls relevant to their specific functions, improving adaptability while the modular design manages overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The interface dynamically adapts to the logged-in user's role and permissions, automatically adjusting displayed information and available controls. This dynamic customization provides role-specific adaptability without requiring separate static interfaces for each user type, managing complexity through a single adaptive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If automated notification system is implemented, then productivity increases, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation flow efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated feedback mechanisms where notifications are automatically generated and distributed when data changes occur or actionable items are created. This feedback loop ensures continuous information flow without manual intervention, improving productivity while the centralized notification manager handles complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The notification system acts as an intermediary layer between data entry points and end users. It automatically processes data changes, determines relevant recipients based on roles, and distributes appropriate notifications. This intermediary approach improves information flow efficiency while centralizing complexity management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If role-based access control is implemented, then reliability improves, but ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidlogin process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

User profiles with roles and permissions are pre-configured in the system before actual use. When users log in, their pre-defined role automatically determines their access level and interface customization. This preliminary configuration ensures data security through role-based access control while simplifying the actual login process for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed are systems and methods for personalized care management. A plurality of user devices corresponding to a plurality of authorized caregivers are configured to provide input data to a processing module 1004. The input data is associated with an actionable item being performed for at least one care receiver, wherein the actionable item includes one of: a scheduled actionable item and a non-scheduled actionable item. The processing module 1004 receives, the at least one input data based on the scheduled actionable item and the non-scheduled actionable item. A profile of the at least one care receiver is updated based on the received at least one input data, and thereafter stored in a database 1010. The plurality of authorized caregivers is facilitated to access the stored updated profiles of the at least one care receiver for further analysis.
