Clinical Report Highlighting for Genomic Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Genomic sequencing clinical reports often present genomic and medical information in a counterintuitive and deemphasized manner, making it difficult for clinicians and patients to distinguish clinically relevant information from less relevant information, which can lead to overlooked clinical information and decreased efficacy of care.
Innovation Solution
The system generates a report that automatically highlights and emphasizes clinically significant genomic and medical information, using processors to receive genomic testing data, retrieve medical information, determine clinical significance, and position the information accordingly in the report.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If genomic and medical information is presented in a comprehensive manner, then the completeness of clinical information is improved, but the ease of identifying clinically relevant information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comprehensive genomic and medical information into distinct sections with different visual characteristics. Clinically relevant information is separated from less relevant information and presented in highlighted sections, allowing users to easily identify important content while maintaining completeness of the overall report.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different visual qualities to different parts of the report. Clinically relevant information is highlighted with emphasis markers, bold text, or color coding, while less relevant information is presented in standard format. This local differentiation maintains comprehensive information while improving ease of identification.
2Ease of operation
If clinical information is emphasized more prominently, then the ease of identifying relevant information is improved, but the counterintuitive presentation manner worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional report structure by placing clinically relevant information in prominent, highlighted positions rather than hiding it in standard text flow. This inversion makes the most important information immediately visible while maintaining a clean, intuitive overall presentation structure.
3Quantity of substance
If all genomic and medical information is included in the report, then the completeness of data is improved, but the time required to review the report increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments information by clinical relevance and presents it in organized sections with visual differentiation. Users can quickly scan highlighted sections for critical information and then review detailed sections as needed, reducing review time while maintaining data completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary organization and highlighting of information before the user reviews the report. Clinically relevant information is pre-emphasized and structured in advance, allowing users to quickly locate important data without having to search through unorganized content.

AI summary
Methods for generating a report of genomic and medical information associated with a patient are described. The methods may comprise, for example, receiving genomic testing data associated with the patient. The methods may comprise, for example, based on the genomic testing data, retrieving medical information including one or more potential clinical treatments for the patient. The methods may comprise, for example, determining that the medical information has at least some clinical significance to the patient. The methods may comprise, for example, based on at least a portion of the medical information having at least some clinical significance to the patient, generating patient-specific medical data. The methods may comprise, for example, determining at least one specific position to dispose the medical information on the report based on the patient-specific medical data and generating the report based on the determined at least one specific position.
