Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for treating mental health disorders are inadequate, particularly for high-stress professions like legal professionals, as they fail to provide efficient and accurate rehabilitation solutions, often relying on manual analysis that is hindered by the volume of user-generated content, leading to delayed and inaccurate treatment.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of multi-stage machine learning techniques to automate the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders using digital therapeutics, which involves determining a treatment plan based on user data from platforms like social media, selecting appropriate digital exercise tasks, and updating the plan periodically to provide targeted interventions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual analysis methods are used to diagnose and treat mental health disorders, then treatment can be provided with simple technology, but the analysis accuracy and speed deteriorate due to the volume of user-generated content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnosis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical analysis with automated machine learning systems. Multi-stage machine learning models analyze user-generated content from social media and other digital platforms to diagnose mental health disorders, substituting human clinicians' manual review with computational algorithms that can process large volumes of data efficiently and accurately.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces machine learning models as intermediary systems between raw user-generated content and clinical diagnosis. These models serve as mediators that transform unstructured digital footprints into structured diagnostic information, enabling accurate assessment without requiring manual analysis of all underlying data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If manual analysis is used for treatment planning, then the system remains simple to operate, but treatment timeliness deteriorates due to delayed analysis

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment delayVSAvoidautomation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces time-consuming manual treatment planning with automated machine learning systems that can rapidly analyze patient data and generate treatment recommendations. The multi-stage models process information much faster than human clinicians working manually, significantly reducing treatment delays while implementing high-level automation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary analysis and treatment planning automatically before clinical review. Machine learning models pre-process user-generated content and generate initial treatment recommendations in advance, allowing clinicians to review and refine rather than create treatment plans from scratch, thereby reducing overall treatment timing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive user data is analyzed for personalized treatment, then treatment effectiveness improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectivenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex data processing task into multiple specialized machine learning stages. Different models handle different aspects of analysis (e.g., sentiment analysis, behavioral pattern recognition, diagnostic classification), allowing comprehensive data processing to be divided into manageable modules that can be developed, trained, and maintained independently while collectively achieving high treatment effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms raw user-generated content into standardized numerical parameters and features that machine learning models can process efficiently. By converting unstructured text, images, and interaction data into structured numerical representations, the system handles comprehensive data with reduced processing complexity while maintaining treatment effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
