Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If population-wide thresholds and singular data streams are used for disease prediction, then the system is simple to implement, but the prediction accuracy deteriorates due to failure to account for individual variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisease prediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the population into individual subjects and further segments data into multiple heterogeneous streams (vehicle operation data, physiological data, environmental data). This segmentation allows personalized analysis for each subject using their specific data streams, improving prediction accuracy while managing complexity through modular data processing architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from singular data streams to multi-dimensional heterogeneous data streams by incorporating vehicle operation parameters, physiological measurements, and environmental factors as additional dimensions. This dimensional expansion enables comprehensive individual-specific analysis, significantly improving disease prediction accuracy despite increased system complexity.

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

If multiple heterogeneous data streams are collected and analyzed, then the detection of anomalous behaviors improves, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple heterogeneous data streams (vehicle operation data, physiological data, environmental data) into a unified analysis framework. By combining these diverse data sources and correlating them with each other and with the subject's medical history, the system achieves reliable anomaly detection that accounts for individual variations and environmental factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces machine learning algorithms and digital twin technology as intermediaries to process and analyze the complex heterogeneous data streams. These intermediaries automatically identify patterns, correlations, and anomalies across multiple data sources, reducing the perceived processing complexity while maintaining high detection reliability.

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and pre-processing heterogeneous data streams, and by generating digital twins in advance. This preliminary data preparation and model creation enable rapid, accurate wellness advisories when needed, improving response accuracy while managing computational complexity through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital twins as virtual copies of the subject's physiological and behavioral state. These digital twin copies allow comprehensive analysis and modeling without requiring complex real-time processing of all原始数据, improving advisory accuracy while reducing computational burden through virtual representation.

AI summary

A wellness learning platform may collect and analyze heterogenous data streams representative of multiple individualized behavioral and physiological data/parameters or characteristics of users or subjects, such as vehicle drivers. Such parameters can be observed from the users' own actions or physiology/physiological response(s), as well as from “user-adjacent” behaviors or conditions observed, e.g., from the way users operate a vehicle or interact with the users' environment(s). The parameters can then be used to train personalized models (generated using, for example, a digital twin system or machine-learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI) mechanisms with which the collection/analytical platform is operatively connected) to predict the onset of disease conditions. Notifications suggesting remediating actions or instructions in response to identifying some disease onset may be provided to the user.
