Interactive Healing Environment System for Patient Isolation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Patients in healthcare facilities often feel isolated and unaware of their care regimen or team of providers, leading to feelings of helplessness and discontent during their stay.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a system that provides an interactive healing environment through a network of servers operating modules such as information, care team, education, scheduling, health records, and treatment modules, which communicate with a patient's client device to enhance communication and access to care information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If patients are confined to bed without access to care information, then medical treatment can be focused, but patient feelings of helplessness and isolation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary information system comprising servers, communication modules, and client devices that mediates between patients and healthcare providers. This intermediary system delivers care information, provider details, and treatment schedules to patients, reducing feelings of isolation and helplessness without requiring direct complex interactions between patients and the healthcare infrastructure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If patients have complete access to their care information, then patient empowerment increases, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information system is segmented into distinct functional modules: servers for data storage, communication modules for information delivery, and client devices for patient access. Care information is further segmented into categories such as provider information, treatment schedules, and health records, allowing patients to access specific segments based on their needs without overwhelming them with all information simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of patient-provider interaction through digital information delivery. Instead of traditional one-way communication, the system creates a multi-dimensional information ecosystem where patients can access care information, provider information, and treatment details through client devices, empowering them without linearly increasing physical system complexity.
3Loss of information
If real-time medical device data is provided to patients, then patient awareness of treatment increases, but data security and privacy risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements controlled feedback mechanisms where medical device data is selectively delivered to patients through the information system. The communication modules and client devices provide patients with awareness of their treatment data while the server architecture and module design maintain security protocols, balancing patient awareness with data protection.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing an interactive healing environment to a patient are provided. Servers in a network may operate a set of modules to communicate with a client device of the patient. The set of modules may operate to enhance communication between the patient and the healthcare providers of patient in the healthcare facility. The modules may also interact with medical devices associated with the patient. The medical devices may be connected to a component, such as a bus, that receives data from the medical devices and determines where the data should be sent.
