Solution Overview

Problem

Clinical practitioners face the challenge of manually scanning through multiple displays to assess a subject's health due to the overwhelming amount of medical information, necessitating a more efficient and automated method to prioritize and switch between general and detailed health data presentation.

Innovation Solution

A method for controlling a display that automatically switches between different avatars based on predetermined conditions, using predictive models or threshold comparisons to modify the display control signal, ensuring vital signs and specific physiological subsystem data are presented accordingly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If all available clinical values are presented on the display at once, then complete information is provided to the clinician, but the display becomes overwhelming and difficult to interpret

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of clinical informationVSAvoidease of clinical assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display is segmented into multiple avatar representations, each showcasing different sets of clinical values. The system divides the comprehensive clinical data into manageable segments presented through different avatar views, allowing clinicians to access complete information without being overwhelmed by displaying all data simultaneously in an organized, selective manner

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically switches between different avatar displays based on clinical conditions and assessment needs. The display transitions from showing a first set of clinical values to a second set of clinical values, adapting the information presentation to the specific clinical context and helping clinicians focus on relevant data without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the display shows detailed clinical values for a specific physiological subsystem, then comprehensive information about that subsystem is provided, but the overall subject monitoring overview is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetail of physiological subsystem dataVSAvoidflexibility of display view
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The display system dynamically adapts between detailed and overview views based on clinical conditions. When a predetermined condition is met, the system transitions to showing detailed clinical values for a specific physiological subsystem; when the condition is not met, it returns to the general subject monitoring overview, providing both detailed precision and overall versatility as needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters by switching between different avatar representations that showcase different sets of clinical values. This parameter change allows the display to transition from general monitoring views to detailed subsystem views and back, maintaining both measurement precision and adaptability through controlled parameter transitions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If manual scanning through different displays is required to perform a full health assessment, then complete information can be accessed, but time is lost and efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of health assessmentVSAvoidtime for clinical assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically and dynamically switches between different avatar displays showing different sets of clinical values based on predetermined conditions, eliminating the need for manual scanning. This dynamic transition provides complete health assessment information while significantly reducing the time required for clinical evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from clinical condition analysis to automatically determine which avatar display should be shown. By monitoring clinical values and comparing them against predetermined conditions, the system provides timely, relevant information without requiring clinician intervention to switch views, thus maintaining information completeness while reducing assessment time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
