Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If traditional psychiatric interview processes are used, then comprehensive client assessment can be conducted, but the process is time-consuming and leads to delays in receiving appropriate care

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewaiting time for careVSAvoidinterview processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by having clients complete the psychiatric interview questionnaire online before their appointment with the provider. This allows the interview process to be completed in advance, eliminating the need for lengthy in-person interviews and reducing waiting time for care while maintaining comprehensive assessment quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the traditional mechanical in-person interview process with an electronic digital system. Clients complete the interview through a user-friendly online platform, and the system automatically formats and transmits the results to providers, substituting the manual interview process with an automated electronic system that significantly reduces time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of manufacture

If a standardized interview format is implemented, then the interview process can be streamlined and standardized, but it may reduce the flexibility to adapt to individual client needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterview process standardizationVSAvoidflexibility in client assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The psychiatric interview questionnaire is designed with universality, providing a standardized format that can be applied to all clients while maintaining comprehensive assessment capabilities. The standardized structure ensures consistency across all interviews and facilitates easy processing, while the content is designed to capture diverse client needs and presentations through standardized question categories.

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

3Productivity

If manual interview note preparation is used, then detailed client information can be captured, but it increases the time required for provider preparation and reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprovider preparation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for note preparation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically formatting the client's interview responses into a standardized note structure and preparing everything for the provider before the appointment. This eliminates the need for manual note preparation by providers, significantly reducing the time required for preparation while maintaining detailed and accurate client information capture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of preparing interview notes with an automated electronic system. The system automatically extracts information from the client's questionnaire responses, formats it into standardized provider notes, and transmits it to the provider's system, substituting manual note preparation with an automated electronic process that dramatically improves efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for providing a streamlined and standardized psychiatric interview process Psychiatric interview information from a client is received over a network and stored in a database. It is determined whether the received psychiatric interview information for the client is complete, and upon determining that the psychiatric interview information for the client is complete, the received psychiatric interview information for the client is formatted into a standardized patient notes document. The standardized patient notes document for the client is then provided to a provider associated with the client over the network.
