Solution Overview

Problem

Patients and healthcare providers face challenges in maintaining and accessing comprehensive clinical records due to increased transience in residences, employers, and healthcare providers, leading to difficulties in navigating complex online web-based healthcare portals with excessive content.

Innovation Solution

A Unified Medical Record (UMR) Cloud Network utilizing Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) resources to host a patient-specific app store within a web portal, providing customizable dashboards with relevant apps based on patient-centric data, eliminating the need for patients to maintain medical documentation and enabling developers to create FHIR apps through UMR APIs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If comprehensive clinical records are maintained through online web-based healthcare portals, then accessibility to patient records is improved, but the complexity of navigating these portals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAccessibility to patient recordsVSAvoidPortal navigation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the monolithic healthcare portal into modular components: a standardized portal framework and customizable app modules. Each app represents a discrete functional unit (e.g., medication management, appointment scheduling) that can be independently selected and configured based on patient needs, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically customizes the portal interface for each patient based on their clinical records, preferences, and care needs. The dashboard automatically adapts its content and layout, presenting only relevant information and functions to each user, thereby simplifying navigation while providing comprehensive access to clinical data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of manufacture

If standardized healthcare portals are used for all patients, then implementation is simplified, but the relevance of content to individual patients decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePortal implementation simplicityVSAvoidContent relevance to individual patients
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal portal framework that serves all patients while accommodating individual customization needs. The standardized framework provides common functions and data structures for all users, while the app module system enables each patient to configure their own personalized dashboard with relevant content, achieving both implementation simplicity and individualized relevance.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by allowing different portions of the portal to have different levels of customization. The core framework remains standardized and uniform across all patients, while specific app modules and dashboard elements are tailored to each patient's unique clinical profile, preferences, and care requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive apps are provided in the healthcare portal, then functionality is improved, but the difficulty of finding relevant functions increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePortal functionalityVSAvoidFunction discovery difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically analyzing patient clinical records and pre-configuring the dashboard with relevant apps and functions before the patient logs in. This proactive customization eliminates the need for patients to search through comprehensive functionality, as only relevant functions are presented upfront based on their specific healthcare needs and history.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and isolates only the relevant functions from the comprehensive app library, presenting them in a simplified dashboard view. By filtering out unnecessary functions and presenting only those pertinent to each patient's clinical profile, the system maintains comprehensive functionality while eliminating the cognitive load of function discovery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
