Contextual Patient Data Display Across Multiple Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing healthcare data sharing systems face challenges such as delayed data transmission, inability to aggregate multiple devices on a single screen, lack of real-time data synchronization, and inadequate protection of confidential information, especially when sharing patient records across different devices.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for automatically detecting and sharing contextually related patient healthcare data in real-time between multiple communication devices, utilizing a first application interface connected to a backend server, which captures and recognizes accessed data, creates a data stream, and synchronizes it across secondary devices with authentication and authorization mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional streaming solutions are used to share patient information between devices, then data can be transmitted between devices, but the transmission is delayed and becomes cumbersome due to large data volume and connection limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only the specific patient information that is currently displayed on the primary device screen, rather than streaming the entire electronic medical record system. This selective extraction of needed data reduces transmission volume and eliminates delays associated with transferring large datasets, while still providing real-time information access on secondary devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If streaming solutions are used to share patient information, then data can be accessed on multiple devices, but confidential data protection is inadequate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements different security measures for different types of information being transmitted. Confidential patient data receives enhanced protection through encryption and access controls, while non-sensitive information can be shared more freely. This localized quality approach allows broad data accessibility while maintaining strong security for sensitive elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary layer that captures screenshots of displayed information and processes them before transmission to secondary devices. This intermediary mechanism enables data sharing while allowing for selective redaction of confidential information and implementation of access controls, thus protecting sensitive data while maintaining versatility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If streaming solutions are used, then information can be shared between devices, but multiple devices cannot be aggregated onto a single screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the display outputs from multiple secondary devices onto a single primary device screen by capturing and composite the information. This allows healthcare providers to view patient information from multiple sources simultaneously on one display, eliminating the need for complex multi-device aggregation while maintaining information sharing versatility.
4Loss of information
If existing systems are used to share patient information, then some data can be accessed, but contextually related data from other devices cannot be displayed simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal screening mechanism that operates across all devices in the system. The primary device captures and displays not only its own information but also contextually related data from secondary devices, creating a multi-functional display capability that consolidates information from multiple sources without requiring complex device-to-device synchronization protocols.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and a method for automatic display of contextually related information includes a first communication device, connected to first data sources, comprising a plurality of contextual information of a predetermined information type, stored therein. The first communication device includes a first application provided with a first application interface, communicatively connected to a backend server. The system further includes one or more second communication devices each comprising a secondary application provided with a second application interface, which are connected to second data sources having contextual information stored therein. The first application interface detects an access of a patient healthcare information and shares one or more context data with back-end server which in turn shares context data with second communication devices. The context data thus received at the second communication devices is utilized to visualize additional contextual information thereat.
