Solution Overview

Problem

Current statistical analysis methods for clinical data are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and lack the ability to perform global analysis, relying on subjective judgments and finite permutations, which limits the comprehensive evaluation of clinical data.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for managing experimental data that classifies data into baseline indicators, evaluation indicators, intervention methods/groups, and time, enabling complete permutation and combination analysis through a cyclic experimental database, allowing for global statistical analysis and visualization of results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional statistical software (SPSS, SAS) is used for finite permutation and combination analysis, then analysis can be performed for one permutation and combination, but the process is time-consuming and labor-consuming when multiple permutations and combinations need to be analyzed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis throughputVSAvoidtime for statistical analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the clinical data into four distinct classes (baseline indicators B, evaluation indicators E, intervention methods/groups G, and time T), allowing independent processing and combination of each class. This segmentation enables systematic generation of multiple permutation and combination results without manual reconfiguration, significantly improving analysis throughput while reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary classification and organization of clinical data into the BEGT structure before analysis. By pre-establishing the data framework with all possible permutations and combinations, the system eliminates the need for repeated manual setup when analyzing multiple scenarios, thereby increasing productivity and reducing analysis time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If finite permutations and combinations are used for subgroup analysis, then analysis can be completed for specific cases, but global analysis of all possible combinations is impossible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescope of analysisVSAvoidcomplexity of analysis system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal BEGT classification framework that can handle any permutation and combination of clinical data attributes. This unified structure allows the system to perform both specific subgroup analysis and comprehensive global analysis across all possible combinations, greatly enhancing adaptability without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional structure by organizing data along four independent axes (B, E, G, T) rather than traditional single-dimension analysis. This multi-dimensional framework enables systematic exploration of all possible combinations, expanding the scope from limited case-specific analysis to comprehensive global analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If conventional statistical analysis methods are used, then results can be obtained for selected groups, but judgments on results are highly subjective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobjectivity of analysis resultsVSAvoidconvenience of analysis process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting clinical data into four standardized classes (B, E, G, T) with clear definitions and stratification criteria, the patent establishes an objective framework for data classification. This structured approach reduces subjectivity in result interpretation while maintaining ease of operation through systematic processing rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
