Virtual Heart Model Visualization for Localized Electrical Faults
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electrocardiography techniques struggle with misdiagnosis and incorrect assessment due to the lack of intuitive and simultaneous visualization of electrical activity across different parts of the heart, making it difficult to identify localized electrical faults.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that modifies a virtual model of the heart based on electrical measures, associating each measure with a specific part of the heart, allowing for real-time visualization of heart movements and changes, thereby facilitating immediate identification of anomalies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional electrocardiography techniques are used to monitor electrical activity of the heart, then electrical measures can be obtained, but the interpretability is poor and misdiagnosis risk increases due to lack of intuitive visualization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual model that copies and visualizes the electrical activity patterns of the heart. Instead of presenting raw electrocardiogram data, the system generates a visual representation where different regions of the virtual heart model display electrical measures, making the data more interpretable and easier to analyze for clinicians.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms one-dimensional electrical measure data into a two-dimensional or three-dimensional visual representation on the virtual heart model surface. This dimensional transformation allows clinicians to simultaneously view multiple electrical measures across different heart regions in a single intuitive display rather than interpreting multiple separate waveforms.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple electrical measures are displayed separately, then comprehensive heart monitoring is achieved, but simultaneous overview of localized effects is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple electrical measures into a single unified visual display on the virtual heart model. Different electrical measures are represented simultaneously on different regions of the model, allowing clinicians to observe the combined information and localized effects in one comprehensive view rather than分散 across multiple separate displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different visual representations to different regions of the virtual heart model corresponding to different electrical measures. Each region of the model displays localized electrical activity with specific visual characteristics, allowing simultaneous overview while preserving local details and enabling easy identification of abnormal regions.
3Measurement precision
If traditional ECG interpretation methods are used, then electrical activity can be measured, but diagnostic accuracy decreases due to inability to quickly identify anomalies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color variations on the virtual heart model to indicate different electrical measure values and anomaly detection results. abnormal regions can be quickly identified through distinct color coding, allowing clinicians to maintain precise measurement capabilities while significantly improving diagnostic accuracy through intuitive visual anomaly detection.
Data Source
AI summary
A mechanism for visually representing a heart. Measures of electrical activity of the heart are received. Each measure is associated with a different portion or part of a virtual model of the heart. A position of locations in each corresponding portion/part of the virtual model is/are modified responsive to the corresponding measure of electrical activity.
