Unified GUI for Health Safety Data Aggregation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing health-based safety practices in workplaces are cumbersome due to the need for manual aggregation of data from various information systems, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors in enforcing social distancing and health safety protocols.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that aggregates data from location and health kiosk information systems using APIs, generating a graphical user interface to visually represent health-interaction data and location information, enabling real-time monitoring and alerting for distancing criteria violations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual aggregation of data from various information systems is performed, then information can be gathered from multiple sources, but the process is time-consuming and prone to errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate information systems (location monitoring system, health kiosk system, access management system) into a single unified graphical user interface that automatically aggregates and displays data from all sources simultaneously, eliminating manual data collection and reducing errors
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (the centralized graphical user interface system) that automatically retrieves, aggregates, and harmonizes data from multiple information systems through automated processes, replacing manual aggregation workflows
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate information systems are used to gather health safety information, then comprehensive data can be collected, but accessing information becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal graphical user interface that serves multiple functions: displaying location data, health status information, distancing compliance, and alert notifications from various information systems in a single integrated view, improving ease of access while maintaining comprehensive data coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the interfaces of multiple separate information systems into one unified graphical user interface, allowing administrators to access all health safety information from a single location rather than navigating multiple separate systems
3Productivity
If automated aggregation of information from multiple systems is implemented, then efficiency in enforcing health safety practices increases, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service automation where the system automatically retrieves, aggregates, and updates data from multiple information systems without requiring manual intervention, improving productivity while the automated processes manage the underlying complexity
Data Source
AI summary
A graphical user interface (GUI) is presented, which visually aggregates information from various information source systems to facilitate management of health-based safety practices in the workplace. Specifically, the methods and systems described herein visually aggregate information from at least a location information system and a health kiosk information system in a GUI. Specifically, a visual aggregation application includes, in a GUI, a map of a monitored physical area that displays health-interaction values for respective humans, associated with displayed location indicators, occupying the monitored physical area. According to an embodiment, the application includes, in the GUI, alerts of enhanced-risk distancing criteria violations in the monitored physical area. An enhanced-risk distancing criteria violation is an instance of distancing criteria violation between two or more humans in the monitored physical area, where one or more of the humans is also associated with a health warning.
