Solution Overview

Problem

Current adverse drug reaction databases are limited in predicting unplanned reactions, lack personalized patient data, and fail to incorporate real-time feedback, leading to inefficiencies in medication dosing and treatment outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that receives real-time data on drug doses and adverse reactions to calculate personalized adverse drug reaction tolerance for a candidate drug or drug pair, using a processor to refine predictions based on known drug data and patient-specific information, including demographic and genomic data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current adverse drug reaction databases are used for prediction, then general drug safety information is available, but personalized patient prediction accuracy is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by transitioning from general population-level drug reaction data to patient-specific personalized data. The system collects and analyzes individual patient responses to drugs, creating localized prediction models for each patient based on their unique characteristics, thereby improving prediction accuracy for personalized medicine.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by collecting patient-specific drug reaction data before administering candidate drugs. Through pre-screening and baseline data collection during treatment phases, the system prepares personalized prediction models in advance, enabling more accurate tolerance predictions before critical dosing decisions are made.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If real-time data collection is implemented, then personalized prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional prediction system that handles multiple data types (demographic, genomic, real-time reaction data), performs various analysis functions (tolerance prediction, dosing optimization), and serves different clinical purposes. This integrated approach manages complexity through unified architecture rather than separate systems.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary computational processing layer that mediates between raw real-time data collection and clinical decision-making. This intermediary layer aggregates, validates, and processes diverse data streams, transforming complex raw data into actionable prediction results, thereby managing system complexity through structured data flow management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If known drug data is used for candidate drugs, then prediction speed is maintained, but prediction personalization is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction speedVSAvoidpersonalization level
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining known population-level drug data with patient-specific real-time data. The system integrates general drug safety information from databases with individualized patient response data, creating a hybrid prediction model that maintains the speed advantages of established data while incorporating personalized elements for improved accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by selectively applying personalization to specific prediction aspects while relying on known drug data for other components. Rather than requiring complete personalization for all predictions, the system uses known drug data for established safety profiles and supplements with personalized data where it provides marginal gains, optimizing the balance between speed and personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
