Dynamic Video Scripting for Healthcare Patient Engagement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current healthcare delivery systems lack the ability to seamlessly integrate multimedia audio/video content with static web displays, fail to process video content synchronously and asynchronously, cannot display content based on medical instrumentation data, and are inaccessible for unskilled individuals to script or coordinate with patient healthcare plans, and do not allow autonomous operation on remote mobile devices without host communication.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic video scripting system that integrates modal/event-driven control structures, allowing multimedia presentation based on synchronized scripting and user inputs, with dynamic user input 'tags' triggering asynchronous events, enabling integration with patient monitoring data and coordination with patient healthcare plans, and allowing unskilled users to create video scripts for autonomous operation on remote mobile devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional static web displays and modal dialogs are used to provide patient information, then the system is simple to implement, but the system cannot dynamically integrate video content or respond to asynchronous events
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments video content into discrete clips that can be independently selected and played based on patient conditions and healthcare plan parameters. Each video clip is associated with specific trigger conditions, allowing the system to present only relevant content rather than a monolithic video sequence.
Solution Approach 2:
The video scripting system transitions from static pre-recorded videos to dynamic video selection where the presented content changes based on real-time patient data, asynchronous events, and healthcare plan parameters. The system can pause, rewind, and present different video segments based on patient responses and monitoring data.
2Ease of manufacture
If skilled programmers use traditional tools to modify patient displays, then the content can be updated, but the process requires skilled technical help and is difficult for healthcare personnel
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a healthcare provider interface that acts as an intermediary between healthcare personnel and the video content management system. Providers can select and configure video content through simplified templates and parameters without needing programming skills, while the system handles the technical implementation automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses template-based video scripting where predefined video templates can be copied and customized with patient-specific parameters. Instead of creating video content from scratch or modifying code, providers can replicate and adapt existing video scripts by changing parameters such as patient condition, treatment plan, and monitoring thresholds.
3Adaptability or versatility
If video content is presented synchronously only, then the presentation is simple to control, but the system cannot respond to user inputs and asynchronous events
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-defines trigger conditions and associated video responses in the video script network before execution. Asynchronous events such as patient responses, monitoring alerts, and healthcare provider inputs are mapped to specific video segments in advance, allowing the system to automatically respond to events without complex real-time decision logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements bidirectional communication where patient inputs, monitoring device data, and healthcare provider directives are fed back into the video scripting engine. This feedback loop allows the system to adjust video content in real-time based on patient responses and changing conditions, creating an interactive educational experience.
4Extent of automation
If the system requires host communication for video operation, then centralized control is maintained, but autonomous operation on remote mobile devices is prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The video script network is designed to be platform-agnostic and can execute on multiple devices including mobile user devices, tablets, and computer workstations. The same video script can operate autonomously on remote devices or be controlled from a host system, providing flexibility in deployment scenarios without requiring device-specific adaptations.
5Ease of operation
If comprehensive video scripting capabilities are provided, then unskilled users can create video content, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses lightweight video clip segments that can be quickly created, modified, and discarded without significant investment. Individual video clips are self-contained and can be independently updated or replaced without affecting the overall system, allowing rapid iteration and simplification of complex video sequences.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method dynamically presenting video content based on a visually-defined scripting editor that defines a user presentation context (UPC) based on audio/video content, user query/responses, and one or more asynchronous event triggers (AETs) is disclosed. The system incorporates a graphical user interface (GUI) based scripting editor operating on a host computer system (HCS) that enables visual definition of an interconnected video script network (VSN) that may include synchronously displayed content, decision-based content, and/or content dictated by the AETs. The VSN is converted to a video script dataset (VSD) by the HCS and then transmitted over a computer communication network (CCN) to a mobile user device (MUD) that executes the VSD in a user interface context (UIC) that may include the MUD, other devices such as a video display unit (VDU), and/or external data sourcing devices that may constitute the sources for the AETs.
