Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional periodic clinic visits are used for healthcare monitoring, then patients can receive face-to-face care, but real-time data capture and immediate intervention are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetimeliness of careVSAvoidresponse time to health issues
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary monitoring and assessment through videoconference data collection and machine learning analysis before critical health events occur. Risk assessments are calculated in advance based on videoconference data, allowing the system to predict and prepare for potential health deterioration, enabling timely interventions before conditions worsen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of periodic in-person clinic visits with a digital system using videoconferencing and machine learning algorithms. This substitution enables continuous remote monitoring and real-time data analysis, capturing health information as it changes without requiring physical patient presence at the clinic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple specialists are involved in collaborative care, then comprehensive treatment plans can be generated, but system complexity and coordination difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of care planVSAvoidcare coordination system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple specialists' assessments, patient videoconference data, and clinical information into a unified care plan generated by the machine learning model. This consolidation integrates diverse expert inputs and data sources into a single coordinated treatment plan, reducing the complexity of manual coordination while maintaining comprehensive care.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model serves as a universal platform that processes various types of input data from multiple specialists and generates standardized care plans. This multi-functional system handles different data formats, specialist inputs, and care coordination tasks through a single integrated algorithmic framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive patient data is collected for accurate risk assessment, then care plan accuracy improves, but data processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk assessment accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of videoconference data during and immediately after consultations, extracting relevant clinical information and digital biomarkers in real-time. This preliminary action prepares data for rapid risk assessment calculation without requiring extensive post-processing, reducing overall computation time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model creates simplified representations or copies of complex patient data patterns learned during training. Once trained on comprehensive datasets, the model can rapidly assess new patients by comparing their data against learned patterns, reducing processing time for individual assessments while maintaining high accuracy based on comprehensive data analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

In at least one example, a method for utilizing an enhanced collaborative care model includes receiving videoconference data from a videoconference between a patient and a first provider, incorporating the interview data with the videoconference data, entering the videoconference data and incorporated interview data into an electronic health record (EHR) associated with the patient, calculating risk assessments for the patient based on the interview data, providing the interview data and calculated risk assessments to a machine learning model configured to generate a care plan for the patient based on the calculated risk assessments and the interview data, determining a plurality of additional providers for the patient based on the generated care plan for the patient, and generating a care plan schedule based on a schedule of the plurality of additional providers, a schedule of the patient, and a timeline of the generated care plan for the patient.
