Remote Veterinary Examination Device for Specialist Diagnosis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing veterinary care systems lack the ability to provide smooth, rapid, and advanced medical care for animals due to the limitations of general physicians who may not possess the specialized knowledge of skilled veterinarians in specific medical fields.
Innovation Solution
A remote medical examination device and method that connects first and second veterinary hospitals via a communication network, allowing general physicians to access specialized medical knowledge through a first and second control processing device, a server, and a master application program to create and share medical charts and diagnostic reports, enabling collaboration and advanced medical care.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If general physicians provide medical care alone, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the medical care quality and specialization are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments medical care into general practice and specialized consultation components. General physicians handle routine cases while specialists provide targeted expertise through remote consultation, allowing each practitioner to focus on their strength without requiring complete system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication network serves as an intermediary between general veterinarians and specialists. This intermediary enables knowledge transfer and collaboration without requiring direct integration of all specialists into every practice, thus improving quality while controlling system complexity.
2Productivity
If veterinarians work independently, then the operation is simple, but rapid and advanced medical care cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
General physicians perform preliminary examinations and prepare case information before consulting specialists. This preliminary action reduces the time needed for specialist review and enables faster diagnosis and treatment recommendations, improving productivity without requiring complex real-time collaboration systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where specialists provide diagnostic recommendations that feed back to general physicians for treatment implementation. This feedback mechanism enables rapid advanced care through structured information exchange rather than continuous complex collaboration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If specialized medical knowledge is shared broadly, then advanced medical care is achieved, but information security and privacy are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides specialized knowledge access locally to general physicians who need it most, rather than broadcasting all information universally. Access rights are differentiated based on professional role and need, allowing specialized knowledge sharing while maintaining information security through selective disclosure.

AI summary
A first physician in a first veterinary hospital A transmits a second medical chart not including names and addresses of animal owners from a first control processing device 1 to a second control processing device 2 of a second physician in a second veterinary hospital D via a server 3. The second physician can create a medical diagnostic report 15 by performing medical diagnosis on the basis of the second medical chart 12. The first physician obtains the medical diagnostic report 15 to perform medical diagnosis and medical treatment. The second physician can additionally request additional examination data 16 to the first physician to create a medical diagnostic report 15 on the basis of the second medical chart 12 and the additional examination data 16. Tasks of issuing direct mail DM can be commissioned.
