Solution Overview

Problem

Non-invasive characterization techniques generate large amounts of data that are difficult to present in a meaningful and intuitive manner, leading to frustration for healthcare providers and increased risk of errors in patient care.

Innovation Solution

A computer system dynamically determines related content based on prior expert selections and predefined relationships, providing a user-friendly interface to navigate and display relevant information alongside selected content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If non-invasive characterization techniques are used to collect comprehensive data, then measurement precision and diagnostic capability are improved, but the quantity of data increases making it difficult to present and navigate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic capabilityVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and prioritizes only the most relevant data elements from the comprehensive dataset based on user role, current context, and predefined relationships. Instead of presenting all collected data, the interface dynamically selects and displays only essential information, reducing cognitive load while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The large dataset is segmented into organized groups and categories based on medical relevance and user needs. Data is divided into hierarchical levels with summary views and detailed views, allowing users to navigate from high-level overviews to specific details only when needed, making data management more manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data is presented to healthcare providers, then diagnostic accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to navigation complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The user interface dynamically adapts its content and layout based on the user's role, preferences, and current interaction context. The system automatically reorganizes data presentation without requiring manual configuration, providing an optimized view that changes in real-time based on user needs while maintaining access to comprehensive data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

An intelligent intermediary layer is introduced between the comprehensive data and the user interface. This layer filters, prioritizes, and organizes data based on predefined medical relationships and user context, presenting information in an intuitive manner while preserving the ability to access underlying comprehensive data when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If more characterization techniques are applied to the same subject, then diagnostic capability is improved, but device complexity and data management difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal data framework that can accommodate multiple characterization techniques and data types through a common structure. This multi-functional framework uses standardized schemas and relationships that work across different imaging modalities and measurement techniques, reducing the need for separate management systems for each technique.

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

4Loss of information

If all available data is displayed at once, then information completeness is improved, but loss of time in navigating and understanding data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata navigation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization and prioritization of data before presentation to the user. Data is pre-filtered, pre-grouped, and pre-ranked based on medical relevance and user context, so that the most important information is immediately visible without requiring navigation through large datasets, yet complete information remains accessible.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A computer system that dynamically determines related content is described. During operation, the computer system may receive information (such as user-interface activity information) specifying selected content. In response, the computer system may dynamically determine the related content based at least in part on one or more prior expert selections that are associated with the selected content and/or one or more predefined or predetermined relationships with the selected content. Then, the computer system may provide the selected content and the determined related content.
