Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If comprehensive nutrigenetic data analysis is performed to provide clinically relevant insights, then the accuracy and effectiveness of reporting is improved, but the complexity of data interpretation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of nutrigenetic data reportingVSAvoidcomplexity of data interpretation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex nutrigenetic data into organized categories including metabolic pathways, cellular pathways, functional systems pathways, energy pathways, activity pathways, nutrients pathways, skin pathways, immune pathways, gut pathways, thyroid pathways, mitochondria health pathways, infection pathways, circadian rhythm pathways, mood pathways, memory pathways, carbohydrate metabolism pathways, adrenal pathways, lipid metabolism pathways, stress pathways, and cardiovascular health pathways. This segmentation makes the data more manageable and easier to interpret while maintaining comprehensive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary reporting system that translates complex nutrigenetic data into actionable recommendations. The system acts as a mediator between the raw genetic data and the end user, providing clinically relevant insights in a simplified format that is easy to understand and apply.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If detailed nutrigenetic analysis is conducted to provide personalized recommendations, then the usefulness of the data is improved, but the ease of understanding for end users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization of health recommendationsVSAvoidease of understanding data
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing personalized recommendations tailored to specific pathways and biological states identified in each individual's nutrigenetic profile. Rather than a generic report, the system delivers customized insights for relevant pathways such as metabolic, immune, or cardiovascular health based on the individual's unique genetic variations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves as an intermediary that bridges the gap between complex genetic data and actionable health advice. It translates technical nutrigenetic information into practical recommendations that end users can easily understand and apply to their daily lives, maintaining personalization while improving accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Quantity of substance

If comprehensive pathway analysis is performed to cover all biological systems, then the comprehensiveness of the report is improved, but the time required for analysis increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of pathway coverageVSAvoidtime required for data analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the comprehensive biological system into distinct pathway segments including metabolic, cellular, functional systems, energy, activity, nutrients, skin, immune, gut, thyroid, mitochondria health, infection, circadian rhythm, mood, memory, carbohydrate metabolism, adrenal, lipid metabolism, stress, and cardiovascular pathways. This segmentation enables systematic analysis of all pathways while managing computational complexity through organized processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system analyzes all relevant pathways (excessive action) to ensure comprehensive coverage, but prioritizes and presents the most clinically relevant findings first. This approach ensures completeness of analysis while managing time by focusing on high-impact pathways that provide the most value for personalized health recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
