Solution Overview

Problem

Users often face frustration in finding specific information on dashboards as they are pre-defined and may not include the desired combinations or information, leading to inefficiency and inefficacy in accessing the required data, especially in healthcare analytics where users need to navigate multiple dashboards to obtain comprehensive information.

Innovation Solution

A data processing system that tracks user interactions and applies predictive analytics to identify the type of data users are attempting to access, correlating this with dashboard configuration information to recommend relevant dashboards or portions thereof, and logs usage patterns for insights into improving dashboard offerings across multiple users and organizations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If pre-defined dashboards are used to present information, then information organization is standardized, but users cannot find specific information efficiently

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing required dataVSAvoidtime to navigate multiple dashboards
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by tracking user interactions with dashboards in advance, building a profile of user needs and preferences before the user actually searches for information. This allows the system to proactively understand what data the user is likely to need and prepare personalized dashboard recommendations, eliminating the time users would otherwise spend manually navigating through multiple pre-defined dashboards to find specific information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If multiple pre-defined dashboards are provided, then comprehensive information is available, but user frustration increases due to inability to find desired combinations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of information accessVSAvoidease of finding specific information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring and analyzing user interactions with dashboards, including which dashboards users access, what data they view, and how they navigate. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from user behavior patterns and automatically generate personalized dashboard recommendations that combine data elements in ways that match each user's specific needs, thereby maintaining information completeness while dramatically improving ease of finding specific information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If dashboards are pre-defined with fixed configurations, then system complexity is reduced, but adaptability to user needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of dashboard systemVSAvoidadaptability to user information needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dynamics by transforming static, pre-defined dashboards into dynamic, adaptive recommendations. While the underlying dashboard configurations remain fixed and simple, the system dynamically generates personalized dashboard recommendations for each user based on their tracked interaction patterns. This allows the system to maintain simplicity in the core dashboard structures while achieving high adaptability to individual user needs through automated, data-driven personalization.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

Mechanisms are provided for generating a dashboard recommendation based on tracked user input patterns and the operation of predictive analytics. The mechanisms present a dashboard interface to a user via a client computing device, and track user inputs to the client computing device at least during and after presentation of the dashboard interface to the user via the client computing device. The mechanisms apply predictive analytics to the tracked user inputs to predict a type of data the user is attempting to access, and correlate the predicted type of data with one or more portions of one or more other dashboard interfaces that provide a representation of data having a type matching the predicted type of data. The mechanisms output a recommendation output to the user via the client computing device recommending the user access the one or more other dashboard interfaces.
