Dynamic Destination Routing for Medical Device Results
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical devices installed outside hospitals, such as in ambulances, face difficulties in connecting to medical institutions for transmitting examination results via networks, leading to ineffective transmission when patients are transported to different hospitals, and quality control results are often sent to incorrect locations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where medical devices can determine the type of examination result (patient specimen or quality control testing) and transmit it to different destinations using received destination information, via various networks like the Internet, Email, SMS, or MMS, ensuring results reach the appropriate medical institutions or management servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If examination results are transmitted to a pre-specified hospital via Bluetooth and network, then transmission automation is improved, but adaptability deteriorates when patient is transported to a different hospital
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic destination selection by allowing the examination result transmission destination to be changed based on the patient's actual transport location. The system dynamically adjusts the receiving hospital from a pre-specified fixed destination to a flexible destination determined by the patient's actual arrival location, resolving the contradiction between automation and adaptability.
2Reliability
If quality control results are transmitted separately to a management organization, then quality control management is improved, but device complexity increases due to separate transmission systems
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the transmission paths for examination results and quality control results into a single unified system. Both types of results are transmitted through the same communication interface and network infrastructure, eliminating the need for separate transmission systems while maintaining proper quality control management.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission system is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple types of data (examination results and quality control results) through a single channel. The system can automatically distinguish and route different result types to appropriate destinations using the same hardware and software infrastructure.

AI summary
Provided are a method and system for transmitting an examination result of a specimen from a medical device to a destination. The method of transmitting the examination result from the medical device to the destination includes: examining the specimen by using the medical device; receiving destination information indicating the destination to which the examination result will be transmitted, wherein the receiving is performed by the medical device; and transmitting the examination result to the destination corresponding to the destination information, wherein the transmitting is performed by the medical device.
