Blood Glucose Analysis System with Fidelity and Adherence Checks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Diabetic patients face challenges in managing their blood glucose levels due to the lack of effective analysis systems that provide reliable and representative data for informed decision-making, as existing systems often fail to ensure the fidelity and adherence of measured values to established testing schemes.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for analyzing blood glucose values that include a processor and memory device, which perform pre-analysis checks for fidelity and adherence to ensure representative data, providing structured analysis data and output only if the measured values meet specific criteria, such as threshold values and testing frequency, and offer feedback for improved patient management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If pre-analysis checks for fidelity and adherence are implemented, then the reliability of blood glucose data is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs pre-analysis checks (fidelity check and adherence check) before providing structured analysis data. This preliminary action ensures that only representative and properly collected blood glucose values are analyzed, improving data reliability while managing complexity through a structured workflow
2Measurement precision
If structured analysis with multiple control checks is performed, then the measurement precision is improved, but the loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fidelity check and adherence check are performed as preliminary steps before structured analysis. This allows the system to quickly identify and exclude non-representative data sets, improving measurement precision while minimizing time loss through efficient pre-screening
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback on whether the fidelity and adherence checks are positive or negative. This feedback mechanism allows for quick decision-making about whether to proceed with structured analysis, optimizing the balance between precision and time consumption
