Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical decision support platforms do not effectively integrate population-specific data to optimize therapy management, leading to suboptimal patient safety and outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A graphical user interface and dashboard system that provides real-time, near real-time, and historical medical data analysis, allowing clinicians to monitor and manage patient therapy more effectively by leveraging population-specific data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If medical decision support platforms aggregate information into databases independently, then data collection is simplified, but the ability to optimize therapy management and improve patient safety is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection simplicityVSAvoidpatient safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple independent data sources including population-specific data, patient-specific data, and therapy management data into a single integrated dashboard. This integration allows clinicians to simultaneously view aggregated statistics and individual patient information, enabling both simplified data collection and optimized therapy management through comparative analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The dashboard serves multiple functions: it aggregates population data for statistical analysis, displays real-time patient-specific monitoring data, provides therapy management tools, and enables comparative analysis. This multi-functionality allows a single system to both simplify data collection and improve patient safety through comprehensive data integration and analysis capabilities.

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

2Reliability

If population-specific data is integrated into decision support platforms, then therapy optimization is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapy optimizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The dashboard segments information into distinct sections: population-specific data displays, patient-specific monitoring data, therapy management controls, and comparative analysis tools. This segmentation organizes complex integrated data into manageable segments that can be independently configured and displayed according to clinician needs, reducing perceived system complexity while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The dashboard acts as an intermediary layer between multiple data sources and the clinician. It integrates population data, patient data, and therapy management functions through a unified interface, shielding users from the underlying system complexity while providing access to optimized therapy management capabilities through intuitive visual displays and controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If real-time and historical medical data are provided simultaneously, then clinical decision-making is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclinical decision-makingVSAvoidinformation processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The dashboard dynamically adjusts data display based on clinician interactions and current clinical needs. Real-time data and historical data are integrated in a dynamic interface that allows clinicians to drill down from population-level summaries to individual patient details as needed. This dynamic presentation optimizes information processing by displaying only relevant data at each level of interaction while maintaining access to comprehensive datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
