Patient Dashboard Integrating Disparate Medical Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information technology in patient care settings is inefficient, as medical devices do not integrate into a cohesive system, leading to fragmented and inaccessible data, which hinders effective decision-making and patient management.
Innovation Solution
A patient dashboard system that collects, filters, and analyzes data from various sources, automatically generating medical recommendations and presenting them in a meaningful manner to healthcare providers, enhancing data accessibility and usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple disparate data sources are provided on separate terminals, then data completeness is improved, but system complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple disparate data sources from separate terminals into a single integrated patient dashboard display. The system aggregates data from various medical devices and sources, presenting them together on one unified interface, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining data completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patient dashboard serves as a universal interface that can display and integrate data from multiple different data sources and device types. This multi-functional display system handles diverse medical data (vital signs, lab results, imaging) through a single platform, reducing the need for multiple specialized terminals.
2Loss of information
If data is presented in isolated format on separate monitors, then data accessibility for specific parameters is improved, but information integration and decision-making efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges isolated data presentations from multiple monitors into a single integrated patient dashboard. All patient data is consolidated on one display, allowing physicians to access comprehensive information without switching between separate terminals, thereby improving both data accessibility and decision-making efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms data presentation from a distributed multi-monitor spatial arrangement to a centralized single-display format. This dimensional reorganization allows all data to be viewed simultaneously in one location, eliminating the need to physically move between terminals and improving information integration.
3Stability of the object's composition
If physicians manually aggregate data from multiple systems, then data coordination is improved, but time consumption and operational efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic data aggregation and coordination without requiring manual physician intervention. The patient dashboard automatically collects, integrates, and organizes data from multiple sources, eliminating the time-consuming manual process of gathering information from separate systems while ensuring consistent data coordination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of data aggregation with an automated electronic system. The dashboard automatically retrieves and integrates data from various sources through electronic interfaces, substituting the physician's manual copying and organizing work with automated computer-based processes.
4Device complexity
If historical data is not stored and presented, then system simplicity is improved, but trend analysis and patient condition evaluation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary data storage and historical tracking automatically in the background. Patient data is continuously collected and archived, enabling future trend analysis without adding complexity to the current display. The dashboard presents both current and historical data seamlessly, allowing evaluation of patient condition changes over time.
