Solution Overview

Problem

Current therapies for cognitive impairment, age-related dementia, motor impairment, and neurodegenerative diseases have limited success in preventing and reversing impairment, and there is a need for new treatments that optimize dosing paradigms to enhance neurogenesis and cognitive function.

Innovation Solution

The use of blood plasma or Plasma Fractions, derived from blood and blood plasma, administered through specific dosing regimens such as Pulsed Dosing, to stimulate neurogenesis, improve cognition, and reduce neuroinflammation, with the regimen optimizing cell survival and motor function, and maintaining efficacy even after the final dose.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current therapies are used for cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases, then treatment is provided, but success in preventing and reversing impairment is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment efficacyVSAvoidrate of cognitive improvement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of treatment composition from conventional therapies to blood plasma fractions, specifically optimizing the protein composition and concentration parameters to enhance neurogenesis and cognitive function while maintaining safety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If blood plasma is administered continuously, then neurogenesis and cognitive function are improved, but treatment complexity and duration increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecognitive function improvementVSAvoiddosing regimen complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements periodic pulsed dosing regimens where blood plasma fractions are administered in discrete pulses rather than continuously, creating optimal intervals that maintain therapeutic effectiveness while reducing overall treatment complexity and duration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by administering blood plasma fractions before significant cognitive decline occurs, preventing the need for more complex and intensive later-stage interventions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If blood plasma fractions are used to stimulate neurogenesis, then cognitive function improves, but the duration of effect is limited by protein half-life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveneurogenesis rateVSAvoidduration of therapeutic effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves continuity of useful action through optimized pul dosing intervals that ensure blood plasma fraction proteins remain active and effective throughout their half-life, maintaining continuous neurogenic stimulation without unnecessary gaps or overlaps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by adjusting dosing intervals and plasma fraction compositions based on the dynamic half-life characteristics of different proteins, optimizing the balance between stimulation duration and protein degradation rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
