Medical Data Space Conversion for Multilateral Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional medical information processing systems fail to effectively display and switch between various medical examination data types, leading to reduced visibility and limited multilateral browsing capabilities, making it difficult for physicians to grasp patient conditions and treatment plans.
Innovation Solution
A medical information processing apparatus that performs space conversion on a medical examination data space with dimensions corresponding to data display formats, allowing for appropriate display formats based on clinical examination objects by using a display control function and a converting function to switch the display of medical examination data with reference to a specified conversion reference point.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If various medical examination data are displayed simultaneously on one screen, then the physician can check multiple types of information at the same time, but the visibility and browsability of the data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the medical examination data into different categories (image data, measurement value data, report data) and displays them in separate, organized sections on the screen. This segmentation allows physicians to access multiple data types while maintaining clear visibility and ease of navigation through structured layout and grouping.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a time dimension to the data display by enabling chronological ordering and temporal navigation of medical examination data. This allows physicians to browse data not only by type but also by timing, improving browsability while maintaining comprehensive access to all data types through multi-dimensional organization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If medical examination data is displayed in a fixed format, then the display structure is simple, but the ability to switch between different display formats according to clinical needs is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display format switching that allows the system to adapt its presentation structure based on the type of medical examination data being displayed and the specific clinical needs of the physician. The display can transition between different formats (detailed view, summary view, chronological view) without requiring complex manual reconfiguration, as the system automatically adjusts based on data characteristics and user selections.

AI summary
A medical information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to display medical examination data on the basis of a medical examination data space having a dimension corresponding to a data display format determined for each piece of medical examination data. The processing circuitry is configured to perform space conversion with reference to a specified conversion reference point in the medical examination data space to switch display of the medical examination data that is displayed.
