Solution Overview

Problem

Existing clinical data management systems face challenges in effectively managing large volumes of patient data and facilitating real-time collaboration among disparate entities, leading to inefficiencies in updating and accessing electronic health records.

Innovation Solution

A clinical communication platform that enables real-time collaboration and data management through a system comprising a clinical communication system with a real-time clinical data engine, permission engine, device database, user database, and reimbursement calculation sheet engine, allowing for secure, asynchronous, and contextual awareness of electronic clinical data objects across various devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If large amounts of patient data are stored in clinical databases, then data completeness is improved, but data management difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata volumeVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the clinical data into distinct types (structured data in EHRs, unstructured data in separate repositories, video data in video storage systems) and organizes them in a hierarchical database architecture. This segmentation allows each data type to be managed independently with appropriate tools and methods, reducing the overall management complexity while maintaining data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a clinical communication platform as an intermediary system that integrates multiple disparate data sources and entities. This platform provides unified access and coordination mechanisms, enabling efficient management of large volumes of clinical data without requiring direct management of each individual data source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If electronic health records are updated at each clinical event, then data currency is improved, but collaboration difficulty among disparate entities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata currencyVSAvoidcollaboration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal clinical communication platform that serves multiple functions: storing structured and unstructured data, capturing video data, enabling real-time communication, and coordinating updates across disparate entities. This multi-functional platform simplifies collaboration by providing a single integrated system rather than requiring separate solutions for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system automatically notifies relevant parties of data updates and changes. This automated feedback loop ensures that all disparate entities receive timely updates without requiring manual coordination, maintaining data currency while reducing collaboration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If objective assessments of patient actions are generated, then assessment accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual subjective assessment with automated computer-based analysis of video data. The system uses image processing and pattern recognition algorithms to objectively measure and assess patient actions, eliminating the need for manual observation and interpretation while improving assessment accuracy and consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A system includes an image capture device and one or more processors. The image capture device is configured to detect a plurality of images regarding a subject. The one or more processors are configured to receive the plurality of images, identify the subject using the plurality of images, detect a movement of the subject using the plurality of images, compare the movement to a predetermined movement pattern, generate a movement metric based on the comparison, and store, in a database, an association between a subject profile corresponding to the identified subject, the plurality of images, and the movement metric.
