Solution Overview

Problem

Existing home exercise programs for rehabilitation are not personalized enough to cater to the diverse health conditions and exercise capacities of patients with chronic diseases, often providing fixed workouts that may not be suitable for individual needs, and lack real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms for safety and effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

A smart home exercise program based on a tag management system that allows for the combination of various movements into customized workouts using a server, management terminal, healthcare provider terminal, and patient terminal, enabling medical staff to create personalized exercise programs with adjustable intensity and real-time monitoring through intelligent hardware.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If fixed workouts are provided for general purpose, then program availability is improved, but adaptability to individual patient needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to individual patient needsVSAvoidprogram complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The exercise program is segmented into multiple independent components including exercise categories, individual exercises, parameters (intensity, duration, frequency), and tags. Each component can be independently selected and configured, allowing personalized program assembly without requiring complex overall program design. The segmentation enables patients to mix and match exercises based on their specific needs while maintaining program simplicity through modular structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The exercise program parameters are designed to be dynamic and adjustable rather than fixed. Patients can modify intensity levels, duration, frequency, and exercise selection based on their progress and changing needs. The system supports real-time parameter adjustment during exercise sessions and allows progressive customization over time, transforming a static program into a dynamic adaptive system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If personalized exercise programs are created for each patient, then exercise effectiveness is improved, but program development time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise effectivenessVSAvoidprogram development time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes a comprehensive library of exercise categories, individual exercises, and standardized parameters before patient use. Common exercise programs and configurations are pre-configured with default settings. This preliminary preparation allows healthcare providers to quickly assemble personalized programs by selecting and modifying from pre-existing components rather than creating everything from scratch, significantly reducing program development time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables copying and replicating of exercise program templates and individual exercise configurations. Once a personalized program is created and validated, it can be copied and adapted for similar patient cases. Exercise parameters, sequences, and settings can be replicated across multiple programs, reducing redundant work and accelerating program development for subsequent patients with similar conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms are implemented, then exercise safety is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexercise safetyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms through parameter tracking during exercise sessions, monitoring completion status, and providing real-time information about exercise intensity and duration. The system captures patient feedback on how they feel during exercises and uses this information to provide guidance and adjustments. This feedback loop enhances safety by ensuring patients remain within safe parameter ranges while maintaining relatively simple system architecture through software-based monitoring rather than complex hardware systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
