Handheld Device Transmitting Biometric Data to Medical Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical facilities face challenges in accessing user-specific information, such as medical history and biometric data, especially when patients are unconscious or in unfamiliar locations, leading to difficulties in providing proper care and diagnosis, and creating unnecessary loads on both users and medical facilities.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a handheld device that transmits user-specific information and biometric data to a server, which determines access point changes and satisfies predetermined criteria to automatically send this information to a medical facility terminal, ensuring timely and accurate medical care without increasing loads on users or facilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If user-specific information is manually provided by the user to the medical facility, then the medical facility can access the information, but the user bears the burden of searching for and contacting the facility and the facility bears the burden of managing and storing the information
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service by having the handheld device autonomously transmit user-specific information to the medical facility terminal without requiring manual intervention from the user. The device automatically detects when the user is carried to the facility and initiates information transmission, eliminating the burden of manual contact while ensuring information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing user-specific information in the handheld device before the user is carried to the medical facility. When the facility is reached, the information is already prepared and can be immediately transmitted, eliminating the need for on-site data collection and reducing the operational burden at the critical moment.
2Loss of information
If the user carries a notebook with recorded user-specific information, then the information is available at the medical facility, but the user is at risk of losing the notebook and must always carry it
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy of the user-specific information stored in the handheld device, eliminating the need for a physical notebook. The information is replicated in electronic form within the device's memory, which is more secure and convenient than carrying a physical copy that could be lost.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces the mechanical physical notebook with an electronic digital storage system in the handheld device. This substitution eliminates the risk of losing a physical object and the burden of always carrying it, while ensuring the information remains securely stored and accessible.
3Reliability
If the medical facility manages user-specific information to ensure proper care, then appropriate medical treatment can be provided, but the facility increases its working load for managing and storing information
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by having the handheld device transmit user-specific information to the medical facility terminal before the user undergoes medical examination. This ensures the information is already available for immediate use, reducing the facility's working load for information management while ensuring reliable medical care.
Solution Approach 2:
The handheld device acts as an intermediary that automatically transmits user-specific information to the medical facility terminal. This intermediary function relieves the medical facility of the burden of manually collecting and managing user information, while still ensuring the information is available for proper medical care.
4Loss of information
If the user sends user-specific information to the medical facility in advance, then the information is available for care, but the user must actively search for and contact the facility each time they move
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service by having the handheld device autonomously detect when the user is carried to a medical facility and initiate information transmission without requiring any active participation from the user. The device automatically handles the entire process of information delivery.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the handheld device to automatically trigger information transmission. When the device detects that the user is carried to a medical facility (through changes in location or detection of the facility environment), it automatically sends the user-specific information, creating a closed-loop system that responds to real-time conditions without user intervention.

AI summary
A user-specific data provision system includes: a handheld device transmitting user-specific information held specifically by a user and user's biometric information acquired by measuring biometric information of the user; the server device receiving the user-specific information and the user's biometric information; and a medical facility terminal receiving information transmitted from the server device, a server device including an access point information determining unit acquiring access point information representing an access point to which the handheld device belongs at present and determining whether the access point is changed or not, at least one of the handheld device and the server device, further including a biometric information prediction determining unit determining whether or not the user's biometric information satisfies a predetermined criterion, wherein the server device transmits the user-specific information to the medical facility terminal when determining that the access point is changed and/or when determining that the predetermined criterion is satisfied.
