Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack a comprehensive platform for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing genomic, immune, and clinical data to understand disease initiation, progression, and treatment response in conditions like multiple myeloma, limiting the application of precision medicine.

Innovation Solution

An integrated molecular, omics database that collects, analyzes, and visualizes data from participants, including genomic, proteomic, lipidomic, immunotherapy, metabolic, and clinical data, using a healthcare management system with modules for data collection, parameter selection, analysis, visualization, and patient-facing interfaces to facilitate research and treatment decisions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If comprehensive multi-omics data collection is implemented, then understanding of disease parameters is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive understanding of disease parametersVSAvoidhealthcare management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The healthcare management system is divided into five distinct modules: data collection module, parameter selection module, analytics module, visualization module, and output module. Each module handles specific aspects of the multi-omics data processing pipeline, making the complex system manageable and maintainable while comprehensively collecting genomic, proteomic, lipidomic, immunotherapy, metabolic, and clinical data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The integrated database serves multiple functions simultaneously: it stores diverse multi-omics data types, performs analytical processing, generates visual representations, and provides outputs to multiple user types (researchers, clinicians, patients). This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single comprehensive platform

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

2Loss of information

If multiple data types are integrated, then research insights are improved, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresearch insightsVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data processing and integration by storing all multi-omics data types in a standardized format within the integrated database before analysis is requested. This pre-organization of data allows for faster retrieval and analysis when research questions are posed, as the data is already structured and accessible

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual data processing and analysis with automated computational analytics. The analytics module automatically processes the integrated multi-omics data using computational algorithms, eliminating the need for manual processing of large datasets and significantly reducing analysis time

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

3Measurement precision

If detailed parameter analysis is performed, then treatment decisions are improved, but computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment decision accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The parameter selection module extracts and selects only the relevant parameters and data elements needed for specific treatment decisions from the comprehensive multi-omics dataset. This selective extraction avoids processing entire datasets when only specific parameters are relevant, reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining the precision needed for accurate treatment decisions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
