Cloud-Based Diagnostic Data Transmission System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for communicating diagnostic information and consultation responses between healthcare providers are inefficient, often requiring lengthy waits and inconvenient access to computer terminals, and lack effective scheduling coordination.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for transmitting and managing diagnostic information through a non-proprietary server, allowing emergency room physicians to send a discrete packet of information (PHOTON) to a cloud-based server, which can be accessed by any provider on any software platform, enabling secure and timely review and response on various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If paging devices and voice calls are used for communication, then basic diagnostic information can be transmitted, but communication efficiency is low and time is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical communication methods (paging devices, voice calls) with an electronic data transmission system. The system uses computer terminals, networks, and software to transmit diagnostic information, images, and consultation responses electronically, eliminating the need for physical travel and manual information exchange.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication system with message queues, servers, and network infrastructure as intermediaries between the consulting physician and the consultant. This intermediary system automatically routes diagnostic information and responses, coordinates availability, and manages the consultation workflow without requiring direct manual intervention for each communication step.
2Loss of information
If computer terminals are made available for viewing patient information, then diagnostic information can be accessed, but convenience is reduced as users must travel to access them
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal communication system that can be accessed through multiple types of devices (computer terminals, mobile devices, tablets) and multiple communication channels (network, email, messaging). The system is designed to work across different platforms and locations, allowing consultants to access patient information wherever they are, not just at fixed computer terminals.
3Loss of information
If telephone communication is used for responses, then consultation responses can be transmitted, but coordination of availability and schedules is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated feedback mechanisms where the system tracks the availability status of consultants, automatically notifies them of incoming consultation requests, and provides confirmation of their responses. The message queue system provides real-time feedback on the status of consultations, allowing for automatic coordination of schedules without complex manual intervention.
Data Source
AI summary
System and methods are disclosed, one method can comprise the steps of receiving a request for a diagnostic message, receiving a selection of diagnostic information, retrieving at least a portion of the selected diagnostic information, generating the requested diagnostic message, wherein the diagnostic message comprises the portion of the selected diagnostic information, and transmitting the requested diagnostic message.
