Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If healthcare providers use traditional paper-based or decentralized electronic record systems, then data security and privacy protection are maintained through physical control, but accessibility and interoperability during remote consultations deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a centralized server as an intermediary that stores encrypted electronic healthcare records. This server acts as a mediator between patients and providers, allowing secure remote access through authorized interfaces while maintaining data protection. The server enables interoperability across different healthcare facilities without compromising security through its centralized controlled access mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical paper-based record systems with an electronic digital infrastructure. Electronic records stored on centralized servers substitute for physical files, enabling remote access during virtual consultations while maintaining security through digital encryption and access control protocols rather than physical security measures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If healthcare systems implement centralized electronic record access, then interoperability and information exchange improve, but system complexity and security vulnerability increase
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized server is designed to handle multiple functions including storage, encryption, access control, and interoperability communication with various healthcare systems. This universal platform serves different healthcare facilities and providers through a single integrated system, reducing overall complexity compared to multiple decentralized systems while maintaining high interoperability standards.
3Measurement precision
If patient information is collected comprehensively from multiple sources, then diagnostic accuracy improves, but information accuracy and timeliness deteriorate due to errors and outdated data
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic healthcare record system implements continuous updates and real-time synchronization across all connected healthcare facilities. Patient information is continuously maintained and updated through the centralized server, ensuring data remains current and accurate. The system continuously tracks patient records across different providers, eliminating gaps and outdated information while maintaining comprehensive data for accurate diagnostics.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus, including a computer including a database, and a distributed ledger. The computer provides information regarding a care plan and facilitates a video call between a user device and a first provider device. The computer receives, processes, and stores, information regarding the individual or patient in the first electronic healthcare record and a second healthcare record. If the care plan needs to be revised, the computer generates a care plan revision message and transmits the care plan revision message to the first provider device. The computer processes information for creating a revised care plan or receives information regarding a revised care plan, and stores information regarding the revised care plan in the database, the first electronic healthcare record, and the second healthcare record. Information regarding the video call, the information regarding the individual or patient, and the revised care plan, are stored in the distributed ledger.
