Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments and management options do not effectively address memory-related disorders and cognitive decline associated with dementia and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, nor do they enhance memory and cognitive function.

Innovation Solution

A scientifically-based brain health formulation combining emulsified CBD, THC, terpenes, antioxidants, spearmint extract, and film-forming agents to improve and maintain memory, cognition, and prevent symptoms of dementia and related disorders, with specific ratios and dosages of CBD, THC, terpenes, and antioxidants to enhance bioavailability and support brain health.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current treatments and management options are used, then existing therapies are administered, but they do not effectively address memory-related disorders and cognitive decline

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of treatmentVSAvoidaddressing memory-related disorders
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple cannabinoids (CBD, THC, CBC, CBG) with terpenes and other nutraceuticals into a composite formulation designed to address memory-related disorders and cognitive decline, creating a synergistic treatment approach that overcomes the limitations of single-component therapies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Adaptability or versatility

If CBD and THC are used for their known pharmacological effects, then anxiety, seizures, and pain are treated, but memory-related disorders are not addressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment scopeVSAvoidmemory enhancement efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The formulation is designed to perform multiple functions: it maintains the anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties of CBD and THC while adding cognitive enhancement and memory improvement capabilities through specific cannabinoid ratios and complementary nutraceuticals, making the treatment versatile across multiple neurological conditions

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

3Object-affected harmful factors

If antioxidants are added to suppress free radical damage, then brain function decline is addressed, but bioavailability may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefree radical damageVSAvoidbioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses emulsifiers and film-forming agents as intermediaries to enhance the bioavailability of antioxidant compounds and cannabinoids, ensuring these substances can effectively cross biological barriers and reach their target sites in the brain while maintaining their antioxidant properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The formulation effectively improves cognitive function, prevents brain damage, slows the progression of Alzheimer's and dementia, and lessens symptoms, promoting new brain cell growth and enhancing memory and reaction performance without disrupting sleep.

Implementation Method 1

As an antioxidant, CBD works on oxidative stress and the prevention of reactive oxygen species (ROS), or free radicals

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAntioxidant effect: Oxidation

Implementation Method 2

THC also reduces inflammation which contributes to brain cell damage

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectAnti-inflammatory effect:

Implementation Method 3

The formulation of the invention preferably further includes at least one film forming agent/solubilizer to enhance bioavailability of the formulation

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectEmulsification: Emulsion
