Information Processing Device for Healthcare R&D Data Collection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for collecting data from research subjects in healthcare-related research and development often fail to gather sufficient data, leading to potential project discontinuation and wasted development costs.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that includes an information acquisition unit, output unit, project application acquisition unit, and project establishment determination unit, enabling R&D workers to collect data by recruiting participants through user terminals and determining project establishment based on applicant numbers, with incentives for participants.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data collection methods from prior art are used, then some data can be collected from research subjects, but sufficient data cannot be collected leading to project discontinuation
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where research subjects receive information about project progress and data collection status. The determination unit provides feedback on whether the project is established based on application numbers, and this information is communicated back to subjects through notification units, encouraging continued participation and data provision.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between R&D workers and research subjects. It manages project information, handles applications from multiple subjects, determines project establishment status, and coordinates data collection activities, thereby facilitating sufficient data collection that would be difficult to achieve through direct bilateral interactions.
2Quantity of substance
If traditional data collection approaches are used, then development costs can be controlled, but data insufficiency leads to wasted development costs due to project discontinuation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of project establishment based on application numbers before full-scale data collection begins. This preliminary action allows R&D workers to assess whether sufficient participant interest exists, preventing investment of development resources in projects that would likely fail to gather adequate data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides continuous feedback on project establishment status and data collection progress to R&D workers and subjects. This feedback mechanism enables real-time assessment of whether data collection is proceeding successfully, allowing for timely adjustments to prevent wasted development expenditures.
3Productivity
If manual project management methods are used, then project establishment determination is difficult and data collection efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service mechanisms where the determination unit automatically evaluates project establishment status based on predefined criteria regarding application numbers. This automated self-determination eliminates the need for manual assessment, significantly improving data collection efficiency while the modular architecture keeps system complexity manageable.

AI summary
In the information processing device, the information acquisition means acquires project information inputted by an R&D worker. The information output means outputs the project information to a user terminal. The project application acquisition means acquires applications for a project inputted by a plurality of user terminals. The project establishment determination means determines whether or not the project is established, based on the applications for the project.
