EHR Body Mapping With Color-Coded Severity Risk Indices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing healthcare systems lack an effective method to visually represent and analyze patient data from electronic health records (EHR) to provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual's health status, including risk indices and personalized health scores, thereby hindering preventive care and lifestyle modifications.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that maps patient data from EHR onto a pictorial representation of the human body, using color-coding to depict medical records and calculates a Severity Risk Index (SRI) for each organ, providing a customized overall health score, and offers interactive features like clickable navigation and virtual assistance for personalized health management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If patient data is presented in traditional electronic health record formats, then data completeness is maintained, but user understanding and accessibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates visual copies of patient data in the form of colored icons representing different body systems and conditions. These visual representations are derived from the underlying EHR data but presented in a simplified, intuitive format that maintains the essential information while dramatically improving comprehensibility for patients and providers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs color-coding to represent different health conditions and risk levels across various body systems. Colors provide immediate visual cues about the severity and type of health issues, allowing users to quickly grasp complex medical information without having to parse detailed text records.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive patient data is analyzed to provide detailed health assessments, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments comprehensive patient data into distinct body system categories (e.g., cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive) represented by different colored icons. This segmentation allows the system to process and analyze complex multi-system health data while presenting it in an organized, manageable format that reduces perceived complexity for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The visual representation system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays current health status, indicates risk levels, tracks changes over time, and provides navigation to detailed information. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate tools or interfaces into a single unified system.
3Quantity of substance
If traditional text-based health records are used, then information density is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms dense text-based health information into color-coded visual icons that represent different body systems and conditions. This color-coding system maintains the essential information density while dramatically improving accessibility, allowing users to quickly identify and understand health issues without reading through lengthy text records.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates visual copies of complex medical data in the form of intuitive icons and graphical representations. These visual copies preserve the essential health information while making it accessible to users who may not have medical training, effectively translating professional medical records into patient-friendly format.
