Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional insurance medical data analysis systems can only predict the overall effectiveness of healthcare measures, failing to verify the effectiveness for specific users due to varying routes through services based on conditional branches.

Innovation Solution

A display method that emphasizes a selected user's route and index values on a screen, using a processor to acquire and display path information from a storage, allowing for visualization of care pathways and index values for individual users.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional insurance medical data analysis systems predict overall effectiveness of healthcare measures, then the system can provide aggregate performance metrics, but it cannot verify the effectiveness for specific users due to varying routes through services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness verification precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the overall effectiveness measurement into individual user-level measurements. By dividing the aggregate data into discrete user pathways, the system can track and verify effectiveness for each specific user while maintaining the overall system framework. This segmentation allows precision at the user level without requiring a complete redesign of the analysis system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary visualization component that bridges the gap between complex backend data processing and simple user understanding. The visualization system acts as a mediator that translates complex pathway data into comprehensible displays, allowing users to verify effectiveness without directly interacting with the underlying system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If the system visualizes individual user pathways and index values, then effectiveness verification for specific users is enabled, but the ease of operation decreases due to more complex display requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddisplay operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of information detail to different users based on their needs. The visualization system can display comprehensive pathway information for users who require detailed verification, while offering simplified summaries for users who only need high-level overviews. This localized information quality maintains ease of operation while preventing information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic visualization that adapts to user interactions. The display can transition between different levels of detail, allowing users to drill down into specific pathway components when needed and return to simplified views when not. This dynamic adjustment maintains ease of operation while ensuring complete information is available when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A display method includes, when one user is selected from among a plurality of users, acquiring an index value and route information for the selected user from a storage, and displaying a path in which a route for the selected user is emphasized and the index value for the selected user on a screen based on the acquired route information, by a processor.
