Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical big data systems face challenges in accurately recommending treatment plans due to reliance on knowledge bases without feedback from large patient data and the complexity of unstructured data, leading to potential misdiagnosis and inefficient decision-making.

Innovation Solution

A personal health record system with a decision support function that extracts clinically significant characteristic data from non-characteristic data using a cloud-based server and client platform, enabling effective data analysis and recommendation through a non-characteristic data processing interface and statistics query module.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If computer-aided diagnosis systems use knowledge bases to assist diagnosis, then information integration ability is improved, but the ability to obtain feedback from large amount of patient data is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation integration abilityVSAvoidfeedback from patient data
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the large-scale patient data into structured data (organized in knowledge base) and unstructured data (clinical notes, reports). By segmenting the data processing tasks, the system can maintain the organized structure of the knowledge base while separately processing unstructured data through natural language understanding to extract relevant information and provide feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary natural language understanding module that bridges the knowledge base and patient data. This intermediary extracts structured information from unstructured clinical data, enabling the system to utilize both the organized knowledge base and the feedback from actual patient cases without direct conflict between the two data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If natural language processing technology is used to understand medical data, then knowledge acquisition from massive data is improved, but technology complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknowledge acquisition abilityVSAvoidtechnology complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The natural language processing system is divided into separate functional modules: text preprocessing, entity recognition, relationship extraction, and semantic analysis. Each module handles a specific aspect of language understanding, reducing the complexity of any single component while maintaining overall capability to process medical data effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements partial natural language processing by focusing on extracting specific structured information (diagnoses, treatments, symptoms) from clinical texts rather than attempting to fully understand all aspects of medical language. This selective approach reduces computational complexity while still achieving the goal of knowledge acquisition from unstructured data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If individual case treatment plans are recommended based on treatment effect score, then personalization is improved, but accuracy decreases due to unrepresentative individual cases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoidtreatment plan accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data sources including structured knowledge base information, unstructured clinical data, and aggregated treatment outcome data. By combining these diverse sources, the system can provide personalized treatment recommendations that are both individually tailored and grounded in broader statistical evidence, improving accuracy while maintaining personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where treatment outcomes from individual cases are continuously collected, analyzed, and fed back into the recommendation system. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from actual treatment results and adjust future recommendations, ensuring that personalization is based on representative and validated case data rather than isolated individual cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
