Solution Overview

Problem

In hospitals, patients and medical staff face inefficiencies in accessing and managing patient information, as they rely on paper records and manual consultations, which is time-consuming and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

An interactive method and electronic device with identity authentication and touch screen interface that allows patients and medical staff to access and manage patient information, including basic information, condition updates, doctor's advice, and expenses, through a tablet computer with various controls for viewing and communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If paper medical records and manual consultation are used, then information accessibility is limited, but device complexity and implementation cost are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables patients to autonomously access their own medical records, examination results, and billing information through the terminal device, eliminating the need for manual consultation with medical staff for routine information queries. The authentication mechanism allows patients to independently retrieve their data using their identity information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical paper-based record system with an electronic information display system. Instead of physically carrying and consulting paper medical records, the system uses electronic terminals to display patient information, examination results, and billing data, significantly improving accessibility and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If paper medical records are carried during ward rounds, then information portability is improved, but weight and convenience are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation portabilityVSAvoidrecord weight
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces physical paper medical records with an electronic display system accessible through terminal devices. Medical staff can access patient information electronically during ward rounds without carrying physical records, eliminating the weight burden while maintaining information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If centralized information management is implemented, then information security is improved, but access convenience is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation securityVSAvoidaccess convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements an authentication feedback mechanism where the terminal device verifies patient identity information and provides appropriate access rights based on authentication results. The system responds to authentication status by displaying or restricting information access, balancing security requirements with user convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
