Medical Data Presentation Panel Highlighting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing volume of medical data makes it challenging for clinicians to efficiently present and navigate relevant information across different formats and contexts, hindering timely clinical decision-making.
Innovation Solution
A medical data presentation apparatus and method that utilizes multiple presentation panels to display data in various formats, allowing users to select and highlight features on one panel, which are then automatically highlighted across other panels, maintaining context without altering the original presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple presentation panels are used to display medical data in various formats, then data versatility and context availability are improved, but device complexity and navigation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides medical data presentation into multiple independent panels, each displaying data in a different format or context (e.g., timeline view, graph view, table view). Each panel can be independently configured and manipulated, allowing clinicians to access various data representations simultaneously without overwhelming a single display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces smart highlighting as an intermediary mechanism that automatically identifies and marks relevant data across different panels based on user interaction with one panel. This mediator function reduces navigation complexity by actively guiding the user's attention to connected data points rather than requiring manual search across multiple views.
2Loss of information
If clinicians manually navigate across different data formats to find related information, then comprehensive data review is achieved, but time consumption and operational efficiency worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization of medical data across multiple panels before the clinician needs to review it. Data is pre-configured in different formats and contexts, with relationships between data points pre-established. When a clinician interacts with one panel, the system has already prepared the corresponding views in other panels, eliminating the need for manual data gathering and formatting adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback through smart highlighting that automatically responds to user actions. When a clinician selects or hovers over data in one panel, the system immediately highlights corresponding data in other panels, providing instant feedback about related information. This feedback loop dramatically reduces the time needed to understand data relationships across different formats.
3Reliability
If data is presented in multiple formats across different panels, then clinical decision-making accuracy is improved, but ease of operation and user workload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses visual highlighting (color changes) to draw attention to relevant data across different panels. When data in one panel is selected or becomes relevant, corresponding data in other panels is highlighted with visual indicators such as color changes, borders, or background shading. This maintains ease of operation by using intuitive visual cues rather than requiring complex navigation or interpretation of multiple unconnected views.
Data Source
AI summary
A medical data presentation apparatus comprises processing circuitry and at least one display device, the processing circuitry configured to: obtain medical data relating to a patient or other subject; display on the at least one display device at least some of the medical data on a first presentation panel of a plurality of presentation panels; receive from a user a selection of at least one feature of the first presentation panel; and, in response to the selection of the at least one feature, highlight at least one feature on a second presentation panel of the plurality of presentation panels, the second presentation panel having a different type of data presentation than the first presentation panel.
