Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Medical professionals face challenges in accurately determining the direction and significance of risk changes in various types of time-series medical data, as existing technologies lack standardized criteria for interpreting increases or decreases in medical data values, leading to difficulties in making informed treatment decisions.
Innovation Solution
A medical information processing device that acquires and processes multiple types of time-series medical data, identifies risk ranges based on predefined criteria, and generates standardized risk and threshold values to display data in a unified format, allowing for easier interpretation of risk changes across different medical parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple types of time-series medical data are displayed with their original values and units, then the information completeness is improved, but the ease of interpreting risk changes deteriorates due to lack of standardized criteria
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms multiple types of medical data with different units and scales into a standardized risk score parameter. This parameter transformation allows diverse medical indicators (blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, etc.) to be converted into a unified risk assessment scale, enabling direct comparison and interpretation of risk changes across different data types without losing the underlying information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a standardized risk score as an intermediary parameter between raw medical data and clinical decision-making. This intermediary transforms complex multi-parameter medical data into a single interpretable metric that indicates risk direction and magnitude, facilitating easier clinical interpretation while preserving the informational content of the original data through the transformation process
2Ease of operation
If standardized risk criteria are applied to transform medical data, then the ease of interpreting risk changes is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal standardized risk score system that can handle multiple types of medical data through a single transformation framework. This multi-functional approach allows the same risk calculation mechanism to process various medical indicators (blood pressure, lipids, glucose, etc.) uniformly, reducing the need for separate processing systems for each data type and thereby limiting the increase in device complexity
3Measurement precision
If risk ranges are identified and displayed for each medical parameter, then the measurement precision of risk assessment is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional processing steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the continuous medical data into discrete risk ranges (e.g., low risk, medium risk, high risk) based on standardized criteria. This segmentation transforms precise continuous measurements into categorized risk levels, improving the interpretability and precision of risk assessment while using simple threshold-based processing that minimizes additional device complexity
