Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals with medical conditions face challenges in accessing current and relevant information about treatments, medications, and medical services due to the need to determine appropriate keywords and sift through search results, making it difficult to find valuable information.

Innovation Solution

A system that receives claim data from a health plan server, analyzes it to select medical codes, and displays relevant health content through a graphical user interface, including a claim management interface and information interface, using medical codes such as diagnosis, drug, or service provider codes to facilitate access to accurate information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users perform web searches to find medical information, then they can access a wide range of information, but they must determine the right keywords and sift through results to find relevant information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevance of informationVSAvoidtime to find information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes claim data and provides relevant health content without requiring user intervention to select keywords or search for information. The claim management application performs self-service by autonomously identifying medical codes from claim data and retrieving corresponding health content, eliminating the need for users to manually search and filter information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary component (the claim management application) between the claim data and the health information. This intermediary automatically processes claim data, extracts medical codes, and retrieves relevant health content, serving as a mediator that eliminates the need for users to directly search and filter information themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If users manually search for medical information, then they can find specific content, but the process requires determining keywords and sifting through search results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of information accessVSAvoidtime for keyword selection and result filtering
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs the entire information retrieval process automatically without user intervention. The claim management application autonomously analyzes claim data, identifies medical codes, searches for relevant health content, and displays results, completely eliminating the manual keyword selection and result filtering process for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically analyzing claim data and identifying relevant medical information before the user even requests it. The claim management application proactively processes claim data, extracts medical codes, and prepares health content for display, eliminating the need for users to perform keyword selection and result filtering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If the system displays all claim data, then complete information is available, but relevant health content may be difficult to locate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of informationVSAvoidease of locating relevant content
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the relevant health content from the complete claim data by automatically identifying medical codes and retrieving corresponding health information. The claim management application separates relevant health content from other claim data and displays it in a dedicated information interface, making it easily locatable while preserving access to complete claim data in the claim management interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the display into two distinct interfaces: the claim management interface showing complete claim data and the information interface showing extracted relevant health content. This segmentation allows users to access both complete information and easily locate relevant health content by separating them into different display areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
