Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical support systems lack the ability to effectively communicate switching content information to users when the processing content of medical image analysis is changed, making it difficult for medical professionals to understand and utilize the switched processing content.
Innovation Solution
A medical support device and system that includes a processor capable of communicating with external devices to transmit medical images and modality-related information, executing AI processing to generate related information, and switching processing content based on received medical information, while transmitting switching content information to indicate changes in processing content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the medical support device switches processing content based on medical information to improve adaptability, then the adaptability is improved, but the user understanding of processing changes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by transmitting switching content information back to the external device when processing content is changed. This allows the external device to understand and adapt to the processing switches, maintaining system coordination while enabling flexible processing content changes based on medical information.
Solution Approach 2:
The switching content information acts as an intermediary communication mechanism between the medical support device and the external device. It conveys the nature of processing content switches without requiring the external device to directly interpret complex internal processing changes, thus preserving user understanding while enabling adaptability.
2Measurement precision
If the medical support device executes AI processing to generate related information, then the measurement precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The trained model serves as an intermediary that performs complex AI processing internally while presenting simplified inputs and outputs to the external device. This allows the system to leverage advanced measurement precision from AI/ML techniques without exposing the full complexity of the underlying algorithms to the user or external systems.
Data Source
AI summary
A medical support device includes a processor and communicates with an external device that transmits medical information including a medical image and/or modality-related information. The medical image is obtained by imaging a subject via a modality. The modality-related information is information on the modality at a timing at which the medical image is obtained. The processor receives the medical information transmitted from the external device, executes first processing on the medical information, transmits an execution result, switches a processing content of the first processing in accordance with the medical information, and transmits switching content information indicating a switching content.
