Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional manual desk research methods are used to identify influential individuals, then the process can be performed with simple tools, but the method is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification efficiencyVSAvoidtime consumed in desk research
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical research processes with automated machine learning models. Multiple ML models process clinical data, online interaction data, and network graph data structures to automatically calculate influence scores and identify key opinion leaders, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual desk research while significantly improving identification efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service automated identification of influential individuals through multi-model machine learning architecture. The models independently process various data sources, calculate metrics, generate network graphs, and produce influence scores without human intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in identifying key opinion leaders and rising stars

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual analysis of limited data subsets is performed, then the process is simpler to execute, but inaccuracies occur and influential individuals are missed or falsely identified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidcomplexity of multi-model architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the identification process into multiple specialized machine learning models, each handling specific aspects: one model processes clinical data and network graphs, another processes online interaction data, and a third model integrates results to calculate final influence scores. This segmentation allows comprehensive data analysis across multiple dimensions while maintaining manageable model complexity through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system combines multiple data types (clinical data, online interaction data, network graph data) and multiple model outputs into a composite influence score. This composite approach integrates diverse information sources to create a more reliable and accurate identification system that reduces false positives and negatives compared to single-data-source methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive data from multiple sources is analyzed, then identification accuracy improves, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfluence score precisionVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides comprehensive data processing into separate specialized models: one model handles clinical data and network graph analysis, another handles online interaction data, and a final model integrates these results. Each model focuses on specific data types and calculations, improving measurement precision while managing processing complexity through modular segmentation rather than requiring one complex monolithic system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components including network graph data structures that mediate between raw clinical data and influence score calculations, and intermediate metric calculations that bridge online interaction data with final scoring. These intermediaries organize and structure comprehensive data from multiple sources, enabling precise influence measurement while reducing overall system complexity through structured data transformation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
