Infection State Calculation via Self-Test Data Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for determining infection states, such as those involving viruses or bacteria, require users to visit medical facilities, which can be inconvenient and may not provide timely results, especially for individuals who need early detection and treatment.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that receives test request information from a communication terminal, calculates the infection state of a user based on detection data from a detection device, and transmits the test result information back to the terminal, allowing users to self-collect specimens and receive diagnostic results without visiting a hospital, using neural networks for diagnostic assistance and encryption for secure communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users visit medical facilities for infection testing, then professional diagnosis and reliable test results are obtained, but convenience and timing are reduced due to travel requirements and appointment scheduling
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to perform self-testing at home using detection devices that collect specimens and transmit data to the information processing device, eliminating the need to visit medical facilities while maintaining reliable test results through automated professional analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device acts as an intermediary between the user's detection device and the medical professional, receiving detection data, calculating infection states using stored programs, and providing diagnostic results without requiring direct user interaction with medical facilities
2Measurement precision
If users visit medical facilities for infection testing, then accurate diagnosis is provided, but time consumption increases due to travel and waiting periods
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by enabling users to collect specimens and transmit detection data immediately after self-testing at home, eliminating travel and waiting time while the information processing device continuously monitors and analyzes infection states
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device continuously monitors infection states and provides real-time results through communication terminals, eliminating interruptions for travel and appointment scheduling, thereby reducing overall testing time while maintaining accurate diagnosis
3Ease of operation
If detection devices are provided to users for self-testing, then testing convenience and timing are improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple devices and data transmission requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing device serves multiple functions including receiving detection data, calculating infection states, generating test results, and communicating with users through various communication terminals, consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate systems into a single multi-functional platform
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing device acts as an intermediary that simplifies the system architecture by centralizing data reception and processing functions, reducing the complexity burden on individual user devices while maintaining self-testing convenience
4Productivity
If detection data is processed and infection states are calculated automatically, then testing speed and result availability are improved, but computational requirements and data processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary computational actions by pre-storing infection state calculation programs and processing algorithms in the information processing device, enabling rapid automatic calculation of infection states from detection data without requiring complex real-time computations during actual testing
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses copied and pre-processed data models and calculation algorithms stored in the information processing device to rapidly determine infection states, replacing complex real-time computational requirements with pre-computed reference data and simplified processing rules

AI summary
To provide a user with a test result of a viral infection or a bacterial infection based on detection data obtained by detecting particles of the virus or bacteria from the user even if the user has not been tested in a hospital or the like. An information processing device includes a test request reception unit receiving, from a communication terminal, test request information including detection data obtained by a detection device that detects particles of virus or bacteria contained in a specimen collected from a user, an infection calculation unit calculating an infection state of the user based on the detection data, and a test result output unit generating test result information including a calculation result from the infection calculation unit and outputting the test result information to the communication terminal.
