Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical data analysis tools burden healthcare providers with time-consuming and inconvenient data review processes, leading to potential misdiagnosis and negative patient outcomes due to disjointed data sets and lack of actionable information.

Innovation Solution

A computing apparatus with a medical data aggregation and presentation system that automatically extracts pertinent information, generates diagnostic reports, and provides an interactive user interface for physicians to review and edit medical notes, utilizing expert systems and natural language processing to streamline data review and documentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If physicians manually review and document patient data from disparate sources, then diagnostic accuracy can be maintained through thorough analysis, but time consumption increases significantly (2 hours per hour of patient interaction)

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoidtime for data review
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically aggregating patient data from multiple sources, generating diagnostic notes, and presenting synthesized information without requiring manual review of raw data. The computer vision system autonomously processes medical records, lab results, and imaging data to produce ready-to-review diagnostic summaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system between raw patient data and the physician that automatically synthesizes information. This intermediary layer aggregates data from disparate sources, applies analysis algorithms, and presents consolidated findings, thereby reducing the time physicians spend on data review while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If physicians spend more time reviewing patient data, then diagnostic accuracy improves, but patient care time decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoidpatient care time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service data aggregation and analysis functions that would otherwise require physician time. By automatically synthesizing patient information from multiple sources and generating diagnostic notes, the system frees up physician time for direct patient care while maintaining thorough diagnostic review through automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary data aggregation, synthesis, and analysis before the physician reviews the case. By pre-processing patient data and generating diagnostic summaries in advance, the system enables physicians to make accurate diagnoses more quickly during patient encounters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If multiple data sources are integrated into a unified view, then actionable information becomes more accessible, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs an intermediary system that handles the complexity of integrating multiple data sources. This intermediary layer automatically connects to various healthcare systems, standardizes data formats, and presents unified patient information, thereby providing easy data accessibility without exposing the underlying integration complexity to the physician.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates simplified copies or representations of complex multi-source patient data in a unified interface. By generating consolidated patient records that aggregate information from multiple sources into a single accessible view, the system makes actionable information easily accessible while managing integration complexity through automated data synthesis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Productivity

If automated systems generate diagnostic notes, then documentation time is reduced, but risk of errors increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocumentation efficiencyVSAvoiddiagnostic accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where generated diagnostic notes can be reviewed, verified, and corrected by physicians. The automated aggregation and synthesis processes include validation steps that check for consistency and accuracy, and the system allows for human-in-the-loop verification to maintain high reliability while achieving efficient documentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
