Solution Overview

Problem

Banks struggle to provide personalized financial services to their clients due to financial stress and lack of knowledge among customers, particularly younger Americans, leading to inadequate financial planning and product recommendations.

Innovation Solution

A financial wellness scoring system using a machine learning model that evaluates and monitors a person's financial wellness, providing a score to guide personalized banking service recommendations and updating the model with new data over time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If banks use traditional conversation guides to identify life events and provide product recommendations, then the process is simple and easy to implement, but the system cannot provide personalized financial services and fails to address individual customer needs effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs machine learning models that automatically learn from customer data and financial information without requiring manual programming of recommendation logic. The model self-adjusts and improves its recommendations based on incoming data, enabling personalized financial services while reducing the need for complex manual system configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes its analysis parameters and recommendation criteria based on the machine learning model's learning from new customer data. As the model processes more information about customer financial behavior, life events, and product usage patterns, it adapts its evaluation parameters to provide increasingly personalized recommendations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If banks collect and process more data about customers to improve financial wellness assessment, then the accuracy and precision of financial wellness evaluation improves, but the time required for data collection and processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefinancial wellness assessment accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model continuously processes new customer data and updates its assessments in real-time as data becomes available, rather than requiring batch processing. This continuous action enables the system to maintain high measurement precision while minimizing time delays, as the model is always current with the latest customer information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and stores customer data in structured formats ready for rapid analysis by the machine learning model. This preliminary organization of data enables quick processing and immediate updates to financial wellness assessments without requiring time-consuming data preparation during actual analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If banks provide more personalized financial service recommendations, then customer financial wellness improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring customer needs and responses increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefinancial service effectivenessVSAvoidcustomer need detection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model incorporates feedback loops that analyze customer responses to financial recommendations and product usage patterns. This feedback enables the system to detect what works effectively for each customer and adjust future recommendations accordingly, improving reliability while systematically managing the complexity of detecting customer needs through structured data collection and analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A system and method that evaluate and monitor the financial and physical wellbeing of a person that is a client of a bank, and provides a financial wellness score that is used to provide banking service recommendations that may act to increase the wellness score. The method includes collecting data and information as it is being received over time about the financial wellness of the person, processing the collected data and information as it is being received over time using a machine learning model, determining the financial wellness of the person based on the processed data and information, and updating and tuning the machine learning model as new data and information about the financial wellness of the person is collected and processed.
