1Reliability

If traditional individual tests are used for preoperative evaluation, then comprehensive assessment can be achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive assessment qualityVSAvoidevaluation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The preoperative evaluation is segmented into multiple specialized machine-learning models, each focusing on a specific aspect (e.g., cardiac risk, pulmonary function, renal function). This segmentation allows parallel processing of different assessment dimensions, reducing overall evaluation time while maintaining comprehensive coverage through the collective output of all models.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training multiple specialized machine-learning models on extensive datasets before the actual evaluation. During the evaluation process, these pre-trained models can immediately process patient data in parallel, eliminating the need for sequential analysis and significantly reducing the time required for comprehensive preoperative assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple individual tests are conducted separately, then thorough evaluation is achieved, but the complexity and inefficiency of the process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation thoroughnessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple specialized machine-learning models are merged into a unified preoperative panel system that processes patient data through all models simultaneously. The system combines the outputs of these models into a single comprehensive preoperative data structure, achieving thorough evaluation while managing complexity through integrated architecture and standardized data interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The preoperative panel system is designed as a universal platform that can handle multiple types of evaluations (cardiac, pulmonary, renal, etc.) through a single integrated system. Each machine-learning model within the panel is multi-functional, capable of processing various input data types and contributing to the overall preoperative assessment, thereby reducing the need for separate specialized systems.

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