Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

There is a gap in monitoring and amplifying orthobiologics during the post-operative recovery phase, with existing technologies lacking integration into rehabilitation regimes for at-home compliance, pain management, and mobility tracking, particularly in linking implantation or injection to mobility changes and physical therapy adherence.

Innovation Solution

Orthobiologic kits comprising an implantable orthobiologic, pose estimation software, and pain alleviation suite, including a physician portal, to monitor and enhance recovery through digital feedback, exercise adherence, and pain management, utilizing AI-driven software and wearable sensors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If orthobiologics are used for treating orthopedic and spinal pathologies, then surgical treatment effectiveness is improved, but post-operative monitoring and rehabilitation compliance remain unaddressed

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesurgical treatment effectivenessVSAvoidpost-operative recovery monitoring

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where sensors monitor patient mobility and rehabilitation adherence, this data is transmitted to a digital platform that provides real-time feedback to both patients and physicians, enabling adjustments to the rehabilitation program based on actual recovery progress

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

A digital platform acts as an intermediary between the orthobiologic implantation and the rehabilitation process, connecting surgical treatment with post-operative care through centralized monitoring and coordination of rehabilitation activities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If patients undergo physical therapy for recovery, then rehabilitation effectiveness is improved, but patient compliance and mobility tracking remain difficult to monitor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverehabilitation effectivenessVSAvoidcompliance monitoring

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service monitoring where patients automatically track their own mobility and rehabilitation compliance through integrated sensors and mobile applications, eliminating the need for manual reporting and reducing the burden on healthcare providers

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual compliance tracking and mobility assessment are replaced with automated sensor-based monitoring systems that objectively measure patient movement and rehabilitation adherence, substituting mechanical monitoring methods with electronic detection

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If pharmaceutical pain management is used, then pain relief is improved, but risk of addiction increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepain reliefVSAvoidaddiction risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system converts the harmful effect of pain into a beneficial monitoring opportunity by using pain level data collected from patients to objectively assess rehabilitation compliance and mobility improvements, transforming a negative symptom into a useful diagnostic tool

Inventive Principle:

Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

4Reliability

If continuous monitoring of mobility and rehabilitation adherence is implemented, then recovery quality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improverecovery qualityVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The digital platform serves multiple functions including mobility monitoring, rehabilitation compliance tracking, pain level assessment, and physician-patient communication, consolidating what would otherwise require separate systems into a single multi-functional platform

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
