Solution Overview

Problem

Current health assessment methods are complex, costly, and lack a holistic approach, often relying on incomplete and inconsistent self-assessment data, and do not effectively utilize virtual reality and augmented reality technologies for comprehensive health monitoring and analysis.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system that securely collects and stores health-related information from various sources on a distributed ledger, using virtual reality and augmented reality to manage access permissions and provide a virtual representation of the user for authorization, enabling secure and accurate health data collection and analysis through machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional health assessment methods are used, then medical institutions can provide health evaluation, but the cost becomes extremely high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth assessment accuracyVSAvoidhealth care cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables individuals to self-assess their health status through automated data collection from wearable devices and health monitors, eliminating the need for expensive medical institution visits. The virtual representation allows users to independently manage and evaluate their health data, reducing dependency on costly medical services while maintaining assessment reliability through AI analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual representation acts as an intermediary between the user's health data and the user themselves, providing a cost-effective mechanism for health assessment. This virtual avatar mediates the interaction by analyzing health data, providing feedback, and enabling self-evaluation without requiring expensive medical institution involvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If self-assessment platforms are made engaging and attractive, then user participation increases, but data security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser participation rateVSAvoiddata security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual representation serves as a security intermediary that mediates access to personal health data. It controls and manages data sharing permissions, allowing engaging user interactions while maintaining security through the virtual avatar's permission management capabilities. The virtual representation acts as a gatekeeper that enables participation without compromising data protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a virtual copy or representation of the user that interacts with the platform instead of the user's actual personal data being directly exposed. This virtual representation can be engaged with attractively while the real health data remains protected, as the virtual avatar serves as a safe interface for data interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive health data is collected from multiple sources, then health assessment accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehealth data accuracyVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data collection sources including wearable devices, health monitors, and user inputs into a unified virtual representation framework. This consolidation integrates diverse health data streams while managing complexity through a single virtual avatar interface that handles all data aggregation and analysis functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual representation acts as an intermediary layer that simplifies the complexity of multiple data sources. Instead of directly managing numerous complex data streams, the system uses the virtual avatar to mediate data collection, aggregation, and analysis, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining comprehensive data accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Information associated with a person is securely collected, generated, and provisioned. At least one computing device secures at least some of received information (secured information) and stores the secured information on a distributed ledger system. A request to access the secured information is received. If the requesting device(s) do not have authorization to access the secured information, a virtual representation of the person with the request for authorization to access the secured information. The virtual representation of the person receives via the VR/AR environment from the person, the authorization, and the computing device(s) automatically provide, in response to receiving the authorization, the at least one other computing device with access to the secured information. Alternatively, where the at least one other computing device has authorization to access the secured information, the at least one computing device automatically provides the at least one other computing device with access to the secured information.
