Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual validation procedures are used with rule-based engines, then validation accuracy can be maintained through expert review, but human resource costs and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automated validation using machine learning models before manual expert review. The ML model pre-assesses medical data validity, filtering out clearly valid cases that don't require expert attention, thereby reducing the time burden on experts while maintaining validation accuracy for problematic cases.
Solution Approach 2:
A machine learning model is introduced as an intermediary between the rule-based engine and manual expert review. The ML model acts as a smart filter that processes medical data and prioritizes cases for expert review, reducing overall time consumption while preserving the reliability of expert judgment for complex cases.
2Reliability
If manual review by laboratory experts is performed, then validation accuracy is maintained, but human resource costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service validation where the machine learning model autonomously validates the majority of medical data without requiring human expert intervention. Only edge cases that the ML model identifies as uncertain are forwarded for expert review, significantly reducing human resource costs while maintaining validation accuracy through the combination of automated and manual processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The machine learning model performs preliminary validation of medical data before it reaches human experts. By pre-processing and filtering cases, the system reduces the volume of data requiring expert review, thereby reducing human resource costs while preserving validation accuracy for the subset of cases that require human judgment.
3Extent of automation
If rule-based validation is used, then automated processing is achieved, but validation efficiency and accuracy vary depending on technician expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from rigid rule-based parameters to flexible machine learning parameters that can adapt to different validation scenarios. The ML model learns optimal validation parameters from historical data, enabling consistent high-quality automated validation that is not dependent on individual technician expertise while maintaining high extent of automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical rule-based validation system with an intelligent machine learning system. This substitution eliminates the variability inherent in rule-based systems that depend on technician interpretation, providing consistent, high-quality automated validation that maintains both high automation extent and reliable validation accuracy.
