Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems and therapies fail to account for individual variability in human responses to treatments and devices, leading to drug resistance, inefficacy, and suboptimal performance in various applications, including medicine, autonomous vehicles, and cybersecurity, due to their non-personalized nature.

Innovation Solution

The development of methods and algorithms that identify and quantify intra and inter-subject variability patterns from cellular to whole-body levels, combining them with other personalized patterns to improve the function of systems and devices used by or for humans, using machine learning and closed-loop deep learning to implement subject-tailored variability signatures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If therapies are developed for the average patient, then the treatment can be applied broadly to population, but it fails to fit individual subjects leading to drug resistance and loss of effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindividualized treatment adaptabilityVSAvoidtreatment efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identification and quantification of individual variability patterns before treatment is administered. Machine learning algorithms analyze baseline biological variability characteristics of each patient, enabling personalized treatment protocols to be designed in advance that account for individual response patterns, thereby preventing drug resistance before it develops

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The treatment system dynamically adapts to individual patient variability patterns rather than using fixed protocols. The system continuously monitors biological variability during treatment and adjusts therapy parameters in real-time based on detected patterns, transforming static treatment regimens into dynamic, personalized interventions that maintain efficacy over time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If dosages are increased to overcome resistance, then the immediate effect may be improved, but resistance further increases leading to clinical deterioration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment effectVSAvoiddrug resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback monitoring of biological variability patterns during treatment. By detecting changes in variability that indicate emerging resistance, the system provides real-time feedback that enables clinicians to adjust therapy before resistance becomes problematic, avoiding the need to increase dosages and the associated harmful effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of changing only dosage parameters, the system modifies multiple treatment parameters based on individual variability patterns, including dosing intervals, administration timing, and combination therapies. This multi-parameter optimization overcomes resistance through personalized parameter optimization rather than simple dose escalation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If regular drug dosing regimens are used, then the administration is simple and consistent, but it is not compatible with inherent intra and inter patient variability and increases drug resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedosing regimen simplicityVSAvoidtreatment efficacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of individual variability patterns to pre-calculate optimized dosing schedules. By preparing personalized regimens in advance based on baseline characteristics, the system maintains ease of administration while incorporating individualized parameters that prevent resistance development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-adjusting dosing regimens where patients can autonomously modify their treatment based on monitored variability patterns. Through patient-friendly interfaces that display personalized guidance, the system maintains simplicity while adapting to individual needs, eliminating the need for complex clinical management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The disclosure provides methods for improving the function of systems regimens, devices by identifying, quantifying, and implementing at least one inherent variability pattern which is based on patterns learned from a specific subject or from other subjects including subject's variability patterns, such as, DNA, genes, nucleic acids, RNA, proteins, cells, organs, biological pathway(s), or whole body variability. There are provided herein devices, systems, and methods for real time or delayed altering of the parameters of system's regimens, for improving biological systems functions. Any system used by humans, or affect human function, wherein the parameters are updated using inherent variabilities signatures with and without other individualized patterns from a subject or from other subjects, can increase the accuracy and efficacy of the system for achieving the desired goal. Output parameters are continuously, semi continuously, or conditionally being updated based on measurements and inputs provided to a compute circuitry configured to facilitate closed loop machine learning capabilities.
