Innovation Solution
A centralized medical data management system configured with software modules running on servers connected to a wide-area network, allowing users to collect, analyze, and manage medical data from various medical devices and subjects, providing reporting tools, treatment plan modifications, and ensuring data security and compliance with regulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a centralized medical data management system is implemented to collect and analyze aggregate data from multiple subjects and devices, then the capability to analyze aggregate data and improve healthcare practices is enhanced, but the device complexity and infrastructure requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized server as an intermediary between multiple medical devices and healthcare providers. The server collects, stores, and analyzes aggregate data from various medical devices, providing a mediation layer that enables comprehensive data analysis without requiring direct complex connections between all devices and users. This resolves the contradiction by centralizing data management functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized server performs multiple functions including data collection, storage, analysis, treatment plan modification, and compliance monitoring. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single multi-functional system, the patent achieves versatile aggregate data analysis capabilities while managing complexity through functional integration rather than multiple separate systems.
2Ease of operation
If the system provides comprehensive data access and treatment plan modification capabilities to healthcare providers, then the ease of operation and user-friendliness is improved, but the data security and compliance requirements become more stringent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements role-based access control where different user types (healthcare providers, patients, administrators) have different levels of access rights and permissions. Healthcare providers can modify treatment plans and access comprehensive data, while patients have more limited access to their own data. This local differentiation of access rights enables easy operation for authorized users while maintaining security through restricted access for others.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates audit trails and logging mechanisms that track all data access and treatment plan modifications. This feedback mechanism ensures compliance by recording who accessed what data and when, enabling security monitoring and regulatory compliance without preventing ease of operation for authorized users.
3Measurement precision
If the system collects and stores comprehensive medical data from multiple sources, then the measurement precision and completeness of subject information is improved, but the quantity of data and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and separates critical medical data elements from raw device data streams, storing only the essential information needed for treatment decisions and compliance monitoring. By extracting key parameters rather than storing complete raw datasets, the system achieves high measurement precision for critical measurements while reducing overall data storage requirements.
4Productivity
If the system enables remote data transfer and treatment plan modification, then the productivity and efficiency of healthcare management is improved, but the extent of automation and software update requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures treatment plans and protocols with standard procedures and algorithms. Healthcare providers can modify these pre-configured plans based on patient needs, rather than creating plans from scratch. This preliminary preparation enables efficient remote treatment management while reducing the complexity of automation by working with predefined templates.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and processes for managing data relating to one or more medical or biological conditions of a plurality of subjects (such as patients) over a wide area network, such as the Internet, may be employed for diabetes subjects or subjects with other medical conditions requiring monitoring and/or treatment over time. Such systems and processes provide various functions for several types of users, including patients or subject-users, healthcare provider-users and payor entity-users and combinations thereof, which allow for improved treatment and medical data management of individual subjects and groups of subjects and which allow collection and analysis of aggregate data from many subject sources, for improving overall healthcare practices of providers and subjects (e.g., patients).
