Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If conventional electrocardiogram monitoring systems are used, then continuous heart rhythm monitoring is achieved, but sufficient warning time before atrial fibrillation occurrence is not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewarning timeVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of electrocardiogram data to identify early signs of atrial fibrillation before the actual arrhythmia occurs. By analyzing trends and patterns in real-time data, the system issues warnings in advance, allowing medical professionals to intervene before the full arrhythmia develops, thus gaining valuable time without sacrificing reliability through the use of AI-based predictive algorithms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring system dynamically adjusts its analysis parameters and warning thresholds based on individual patient baselines and changing clinical conditions. The AI model continuously learns from incoming data, adapting its prediction capabilities to provide optimized warning times for each patient while maintaining high accuracy through dynamic parameter adjustment rather than fixed thresholds

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If AI-based deep learning models are implemented for early prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

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

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that bridges the gap between raw electrocardiogram data and the AI deep learning model. This intermediary layer includes data preprocessing, feature extraction, and filtering components that prepare the data in a standardized format, reducing the complexity burden on the AI model itself while maintaining high prediction accuracy through careful intermediate processing steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If continuous 7-day monitoring is performed, then comprehensive data coverage is achieved, but data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata coverageVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The continuous 7-day electrocardiogram monitoring data is segmented into smaller, manageable time windows or epochs. Each segment is processed independently by the AI model, allowing for efficient computational handling of large datasets. This segmentation approach maintains comprehensive data coverage across the full monitoring period while reducing the computational burden and processing time through parallel processing of divided data segments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
