Medical Support Device Matrix Display for Hospitalization Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical information systems struggle to effectively display and manage hospitalization period-specific medical information, making it difficult for healthcare professionals to focus on critical patient data during hospitalization due to the overwhelming amount of information from past to present.
Innovation Solution
A medical support system that generates a display screen with a matrix format, using a horizontal axis for hospitalization period dates and a vertical axis for associated medical items, allowing easy visualization and selection of relevant information within the hospitalization period.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all medical information from the past to the present is displayed, then complete medical history is available, but it becomes difficult to focus on critical patient data during hospitalization
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple display regions: a first display region showing a matrix of medical information for the hospitalization period, and a second display region showing time-series medical information. This segmentation allows healthcare professionals to focus on the hospitalization period data while maintaining access to complete medical history, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and ease of focusing on critical data.
2Ease of operation
If medical information is displayed in a matrix format with hospitalization period dates on the horizontal axis, then hospitalization period information is easily visualized, but the display structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional time-series display (one-dimensional time axis) to a two-dimensional matrix format where the horizontal axis represents hospitalization period dates and the vertical axis represents medical information items. This dimensional change enables easy visualization of hospitalization period information while the overall display structure remains manageable through systematic organization of axes and regions.
3Ease of operation
If the display screen shows only hospitalization period medical information, then focus on critical data is improved, but pre- and post-hospitalization context is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into distinct regions: the first display region for hospitalization period information and the second display region for time-series information including pre- and post-hospitalization context. This segmentation enables the system to maintain focus on critical hospitalization data while preserving access to broader temporal context, resolving the contradiction between focused viewing and contextual completeness.

AI summary
A medical support device includes at least one processor, in which the processor acquires hospitalization period medical information including a hospitalization period date, which is a date corresponding to a hospitalization period, and a plurality of first items associated with the hospitalization period date, and generates a display screen including a first display region defined by a first axis indicating the hospitalization period date and a second axis indicating the plurality of first items and intersecting with the first axis, in which the hospitalization period medical information is disposed in a matrix in the first display region.
