Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current healthcare automation systems struggle to manage and analyze the vast and complex data from lab reports and other health-related information efficiently, leading to misdiagnoses, under-diagnoses, and excessive computational resource usage, making it difficult for practitioners to identify trends and correlations.
Innovation Solution
A multi-stage workflow processing and analysis platform that automates data ingestion, presentation, and display, allowing for the extraction of valuable insights from patient data, including lab reports, wearable sensor data, and subjective surveys, and provides integrated graphical user interfaces for enhanced data visualization and analysis.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If practitioners manually analyze and visualize patient data from multiple lab reports, then diagnostic accuracy may improve through human insight, but the time and computational resources required become prohibitive when dealing with voluminous data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a processor and memory that automatically retrieves, normalizes, and analyzes lab data from multiple sources. This intermediary processes the voluminous data between the lab reports and the practitioner, enabling efficient analysis without requiring practitioners to manually handle the raw data volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual analysis process with an automated computational system. The processor automatically retrieves data from lab reports, normalizes the data formats, performs comparative analysis, and generates visualizations, substituting the manual mechanical process of human data handling with an automated electronic system.
2Loss of information
If practitioners open multiple computer windows and digital documents to view patient data from different sources, then complete patient information can be accessed, but computing resources are significantly taxed and usability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from multiple lab reports and sources into a single integrated graphical user interface. The system retrieves data from various lab reports, normalizes them to a common format, and presents all relevant patient information in one unified display, eliminating the need for practitioners to open and manage multiple separate windows and documents.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical user interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays current lab results, compares them with historical data, normalizes different data formats, and provides visualizations all in a single interface. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate tools and windows.
3Reliability
If comprehensive lab data from multiple sources is collected for thorough patient analysis, then diagnostic insights can be improved, but data normalization and integration become increasingly complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming diverse lab data from different sources and formats into a normalized common format. The system changes the parameters of the raw data (units, scales, formats) to make them comparable and integrable, enabling reliable diagnostic insights from heterogeneous data sources without manual normalization complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
An example system provides a multi-stage workflow processing and analysis platform. The system may access first data associated with a patient and provide, for display on a client device, a graphical user interface that displays workflow elements and data points of the first data. In some instances, the system may receive, via the graphical user interface, an input relating a workflow element with a data point associated with the patient, which workflow element may define an action. The system may execute the workflow including the action defined by the workflow element, receive second data based on the workflow, and provide a graphical interface displaying the first data and the second data on the client device.
