Solution Overview

Problem

Existing diabetes management systems provide static and non-intuitive reports that fail to prioritize important information, are not user-friendly, and do not adapt to the needs of different user types, leading to inefficiencies in doctor-patient conversations and potential missed critical health insights.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods for dynamically generating reports that prioritize and highlight important information based on available data, accommodate various user types, and guide doctor-patient conversations by removing irrelevant sections, using customizable templates that visually represent glucose levels and insulin/carbohydrate intake.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If static report formats are used with all standard sections, then complete information is provided, but the report becomes bulky and less comprehensible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidreport comprehensibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The report is divided into multiple sections based on data availability and user needs. The system segments the report content dynamically, showing only relevant sections (e.g., glucose data section only appears when glucose data is available) rather than presenting a fixed comprehensive structure. This segmentation maintains information completeness while improving comprehensibility by reducing clutter.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The report format transitions from static to dynamic, automatically adjusting its structure based on available data and user preferences. The system dynamically generates report sections, prioritizes information based on clinical relevance, and reorganizes content to highlight important patterns. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by providing complete information in a comprehensible, customized format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Loss of information

If detailed sections are included for all data types, then comprehensive coverage is achieved, but important information is buried and users expend considerable time to recognize key findings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation coverageVSAvoidtime to recognize important information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Different sections of the report receive different levels of detail and prominence based on their importance. The system applies local quality by highlighting key findings (e.g., hyperglycemic/hypoglycemic episodes, patterns) with visual cues and placing them in prominent positions, while less critical information is presented in condensed formats. This ensures comprehensive coverage while enabling rapid recognition of important information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system analyzes user interactions with the report and provides feedback to optimize information presentation. By monitoring which sections users spend time on and which patterns are clinically significant, the system learns to prioritize and position important information more effectively in subsequent reports, reducing the time users need to spend searching for key findings while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If the system is designed for specialized doctors with abundant detail, then professional needs are met, but new patients cannot adequately use the system

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetail levelVSAvoiduser type adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The reporting system is designed to serve multiple user types (new patients, experienced patients, specialized doctors) through a single adaptable platform. The system provides universal access to comprehensive data while allowing each user type to customize the level of detail and presentation format according to their needs, making the system versatile across different user competencies and roles.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows users to adjust key parameters of the report, such as detail level, data visualization preferences, and section prioritization. New patients can select simplified views with highlighted key information, while specialized doctors can access detailed comprehensive reports. This parameter-based customization enables the same system to adapt to different user types without sacrificing information completeness for any user group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Stability of the object's composition

If conventional report formats are followed, then standard conventions are maintained, but the report is difficult to manage efficiently during doctor-patient visits

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveformat consistencyVSAvoidreport management efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The report format is made dynamic to adapt to the clinical context and user needs during doctor-patient visits. The system can reorganize content based on the specific conversation topic, highlight relevant sections, and provide quick navigation options. This dynamic approach maintains format consistency through structured templates while dramatically improving management efficiency during clinical interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Systems and methods are described that provide a dynamic reporting functionality that can identify important information and dynamically present a report about the important information that highlights important findings to the user. The described systems and methods are generally described in the field of diabetes management, but are applicable to other medical reports as well. In one implementation, the dynamic reports are based on available data and devices. For example, useless sections of the report, such as those with no populated data, may be removed, minimized in importance, assigned a lower priority, or the like.
