Solution Overview

Problem

The accuracy of predicting changes in physiological parameters varies depending on the patient's age, disease, and the medical practitioner's experience, leading to inconsistent treatment outcomes in medical institutions.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device and method that analyzes the relationship between patient and medical practitioner information, measurement data, and prediction data to determine the degree of divergence, providing analysis information that reflects the prediction accuracy for each category of patients and practitioners.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If medical practitioners predict physiological parameters based on their experience and judgment, then treatment decisions can be made promptly, but prediction accuracy varies significantly depending on practitioner experience and patient characteristics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the prediction accuracy analysis by dividing practitioners into different experience levels (e.g., junior, intermediate, senior) and patients into different categories (e.g., by age, disease type, physiological parameter). This segmentation allows for targeted analysis of prediction accuracy across different groups, identifying specific patterns and tendencies without requiring a single complex universal model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by comparing predicted physiological parameter values with actual measured values over time. The analysis unit calculates prediction accuracy metrics and feeds this information back to identify tendencies in different practitioner-patient combinations. This feedback loop enables continuous improvement of prediction reliability by learning from past performance patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If detailed subject information including patient and practitioner data is collected and analyzed, then prediction accuracy tendencies can be identified, but information processing complexity and data management burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction tendency informationVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential subject information needed for analysis, such as practitioner experience level, patient category, predicted parameter values, and actual measured values. Rather than processing all possible data, the system focuses on extracting and analyzing the specific elements that contribute to prediction accuracy tendencies, reducing data processing complexity while maintaining analytical value.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The analysis unit is designed with multi-functionality to handle various types of subject information simultaneously. It can analyze prediction accuracy across different practitioner experience levels, patient categories, and physiological parameters using a unified analysis framework. This universal approach reduces the need for separate processing systems for different data types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
