Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Current health information exchange platforms lack interoperability between healthcare providers, requiring patients to manually consolidate fragmented medical records across multiple systems, leading to inefficiencies and incomplete care, especially for those with complex conditions.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for managing medical records that unifies data from disparate sources into a centralized, user-friendly interface accessible via network-connected devices, using an application server, medical record database, and secure user authentication, enabling real-time data synchronization and secure sharing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If patients manually consolidate medical records from multiple providers, then they can access their own medical history, but the process is time-consuming and administratively burdensome

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of accessing medical recordsVSAvoidtime to consolidate records

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a centralized medical record aggregation system that acts as an intermediary between multiple healthcare providers and patients. This system automatically collects, consolidates, and stores medical records from disparate sources, eliminating the need for patients to manually request and organize records. The intermediary system handles data exchange protocols, record formatting, and centralized storage, thereby resolving the technical contradiction by improving ease of access while reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If healthcare providers maintain separate electronic medical record systems, then each provider can manage its own data, but interoperability between systems is limited and data remains fragmented

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata accuracy and securityVSAvoidinteroperability between systems

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal medical record aggregation system that can interface with multiple different electronic health record systems from various providers. The system employs standardized data exchange protocols and formats that enable it to collect and consolidate records from diverse sources while maintaining data integrity. This multi-functional approach allows the system to adapt to different provider systems without compromising data reliability or security, thereby resolving the contradiction between maintaining reliable provider-specific systems and achieving broad interoperability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If medical records are stored in paper files at individual facilities, then records are physically secure, but they are vulnerable to damage, loss, and difficult to share across institutions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverecord security and durabilityVSAvoidefficiency of record management and sharing

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical paper-based record storage system with an electronic digital storage system. Instead of physical paper files that are vulnerable to damage and difficult to share, the system uses digital records stored in a centralized database with electronic access controls. This substitution eliminates the physical vulnerabilities of paper while dramatically improving the efficiency of record management, sharing, and retrieval across multiple institutions, thereby resolving the contradiction between security/durability and productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Loss of information

If patients use multiple patient portals to access records from different providers, then they can access comprehensive medical data, but the user experience is fragmented and complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecompleteness of medical dataVSAvoidcomplexity of accessing multiple systems

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate patient portal systems into a single unified access point. The centralized aggregation system consolidates medical records from multiple providers into one integrated interface that patients can access through a single login. This combining of previously separate systems eliminates the need for patients to navigate multiple portals while maintaining complete access to all their medical data, thereby resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A system for accessing and managing medical record data is disclosed, including at least one user computing device in operable connection with a user network. An application server is in operable communication with the user network to host an application program for collecting, accessing, and managing medical record data. At least one medical record database is configured to receive a plurality of medical record data from one or more disparate medical record data source. A user interface is provided via the application program to enable the user to access the plurality of medical record data.
