Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional planning of ophthalmic procedures is time-consuming and costly, requiring significant effort and individual knowledge from medical staff, and does not automatically consider maintenance requirements or resource availability.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system for generating a patient-specific digital workflow of a physical ophthalmic treatment procedure, which involves receiving selection data, determining resource data, and generating a digital workflow using patient-specific ophthalmic data, thereby creating a digital twin of the treatment procedure that is adaptable and efficient.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual planning of eye treatment is performed by medical staff, then the treatment plan can be customized and adapted to patient needs, but the process becomes time-consuming and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a digital twin (virtual copy) of the physical ophthalmic treatment procedure that can be planned and simulated computationally. This digital workflow includes virtual representations of diagnostic measurements, treatment steps, and resource requirements, allowing automated planning without manual intervention while preserving customization capabilities through programmable parameters
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical planning process (medical staff manually creating and updating treatment plans) with an automated computer-based system. The processor automatically generates, updates, and manages the digital workflow based on input data, eliminating the need for manual planning operations while maintaining treatment customization through software algorithms
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual planning and updating of treatment plans is performed, then flexibility to adapt to changing patient data is achieved, but significant effort and individual knowledge from medical staff are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-updating digital workflow system where the processor automatically detects changes in patient data and updates the treatment plan without requiring manual intervention from medical staff. The system monitors input data continuously and autonomously adjusts the digital workflow, eliminating the need for staff to manually track and update treatment plans while maintaining full adaptability to data changes
3Reliability
If conventional manual planning is used, then resource availability and maintenance requirements can be considered, but the planning process becomes lengthy and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-defines resource requirements, availability constraints, and maintenance schedules within the digital workflow model before treatment planning begins. The processor uses these pre-configured parameters to automatically generate treatment plans that inherently account for resource availability and maintenance needs, eliminating the need for separate manual resource coordination while accelerating the planning process

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method and to a workflow generation device of generating a patient specific digital workflow of a physical ophthalmic treatment procedure of at least one eye of a patient to be treated. In a processor of a computer system, selection data is received selecting the physical ophthalmic treatment procedure. The processor of the computer system, determines resource data of required resources for performing at least one ophthalmic procedural step. The processor of the computer system further receives patient specific ophthalmic data of the eye; and generates, the patient specific digital workflow comprising a plurality of interrelating digital workflow items using the determined resource data and the received patient specific ophthalmic data.
