Unified Healthcare Regimen Risk Assessment System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current healthcare regimen evaluation and management systems fail to adequately address the growing crisis of adverse drug effects by not being able to manage the combined risks of multiple drugs in a regimen, lacking personalized and actionable guidance, and ignoring the full impact of regimen components as a unit.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method computes compound factors for healthcare regimens, including compound risks and benefits, providing adverse effects with corresponding conditional probabilities, allowing for unified evaluation, presentation, and modification of healthcare regimens at the regimen level, using methods such as combinatorial assessment and Bayesian inference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If current healthcare regimen evaluation systems are used, then individual drug risks can be assessed, but the combined risks of multiple drugs in a regimen cannot be adequately managed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges individual drug risk assessments into a unified regimen-level evaluation framework. The system combines multiple drug components, their individual risks, and interaction effects into a single integrated assessment model that calculates compound risks and benefits for the entire regimen, enabling comprehensive risk management that accounts for cumulative effects across all medications.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system is designed to handle multiple aspects of regimen assessment simultaneously - including individual drug effects, drug-drug interactions, compound risks, and personalized patient factors. This multi-functional approach allows a single system to perform comprehensive regimen evaluation without requiring separate specialized tools for each assessment type.
2Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive regimen evaluation is performed, then personalized and actionable guidance can be provided, but the system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by tailoring regimen evaluations to specific patient characteristics, conditions, and treatment goals. The evaluation framework adapts its assessment criteria and risk calculations based on individual patient factors such as age, comorbidities, genetic profile, and treatment history, providing personalized guidance that is relevant to each patient's unique situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
3Reliability
If regimen components are evaluated as a unit, then the full impact of multiple drugs can be assessed, but current systems ignore this approach
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified evaluation framework that merges all regimen components - including medications, supplements, and other healthcare interventions - into a single integrated assessment. This approach evaluates the regimen as a holistic unit, capturing the full impact of multiple drugs working together, their interactions, and their cumulative effects on the patient, rather than assessing components in isolation.

AI summary
A method and apparatus for modifying a healthcare regimen for a patient, the method comprising: determining an individual patient's healthcare regimen, the healthcare regimen having at least three healthcare components; storing data representing the healthcare regimen in a computing system; computing, by a processor in the computing system, a health care regimen risk level value for the health care regimen using evidence data from a large online database; identifying a modified healthcare regimen better suited to the individual patient based in part on the computed risk-level value; and modifying the healthcare regimen of the individual patient, all under guidance and direction of a user.
