Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If cosmetic procedures are performed by practitioners with diverse backgrounds (including non-physicians), then accessibility and availability of treatments increase, but patient safety and aesthetic outcomes deteriorate due to lack of proper training
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a computing platform as an intermediary system that mediates between practitioners of varying skill levels and safe treatment outcomes. The platform provides computer-generated treatment plans, real-time guidance during procedures, and automated safety checks that act as a mediator to ensure proper technique even when the practitioner lacks extensive training. This resolves the contradiction by allowing broader access while maintaining safety through the intermediary technological system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback mechanisms including real-time monitoring of injection parameters, automated alerts when safety thresholds are approached, and post-procedure outcome tracking. This feedback loop enables practitioners with diverse backgrounds to receive immediate guidance and correction, ensuring safety standards are maintained while allowing broader participation in cosmetic procedures.
2Manufacturing precision
If soft tissue fillers are used to achieve aesthetic enhancement, then cosmetic outcomes are improved, but risk of serious complications (stroke, blindness, permanent damage) increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating comprehensive treatment plans before the actual injection procedure. These plans include detailed anatomical mapping, identification of high-risk areas, selection of appropriate products and volumes, and step-by-step procedural guidance. By preparing all safety measures and treatment parameters in advance, the system enables aesthetic enhancement while pre-emptively mitigating risks of stroke, blindness, and permanent damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary anti-action through automated safety checks and real-time monitoring that actively prevent harmful outcomes before they occur. The system monitors injection depth, pressure, and anatomical boundaries, and automatically alerts or stops the procedure when approaching dangerous zones. This preliminary counter-action to potential harm allows safe use of soft tissue fillers while maintaining high aesthetic quality.
3Reliability
If machine learning algorithms are used to create treatment plans, then aesthetic outcomes and safety are improved, but system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The computing platform is designed as a universal system that performs multiple functions: facial analysis, treatment planning, real-time guidance, safety monitoring, and outcome tracking. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional platform, the system achieves high reliability through machine learning while managing complexity through integration rather than separate specialized systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The machine learning algorithms operate autonomously to generate treatment plans and provide real-time guidance without requiring constant human intervention or complex manual configuration. The system self-adjusts parameters, automatically identifies anatomical features, and adapts to individual patient characteristics, reducing the operational complexity burden on practitioners while maintaining high safety standards.
Data Source
AI summary
An electronic computing system creates a treatment plan and provides safe and accurate treatment recommendations by obtaining an input image of a face; comparing, using a pattern recognition process, one or more aspects of the input image to corresponding aspects of a plurality of reference images; obtaining, based on a result of the comparing, supplemental information associated with one or more additional characteristics of the face; and creating a treatment plan based on the input image and the additional characteristic.
