Solution Overview

Problem

Current medical examination reporting systems rely on cumbersome mouse, keyboard, and microphone inputs, leading to inefficiencies, increased error rates, and distraction from critical diagnostic tasks.

Innovation Solution

A voice-activated clinical structured reporting system that uses natural language processing and intelligent algorithms to automatically generate clinical reports without the need for traditional input devices or explicit voice commands.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional mouse, keyboard, and microphone systems are used for data entry, then text can be entered into report fields, but the process becomes cumbersome and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of data entryVSAvoidreport generation speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical input devices (mouse, keyboard) with a voice-activated system that uses speech recognition to navigate and populate report fields. The processor detects voice commands and automatically enters data, eliminating the need for manual clicking and typing, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the report to be automatically populated through voice commands without requiring manual navigation. The processor interprets speech input and autonomously fills in report fields, reducing the operational burden on the user while maintaining high productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If tab+command systems are used for navigation, then cursor can be placed in correct fields, but the process is time-consuming and distracting

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of data entryVSAvoidtime for report generation

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical tab+command navigation system with voice-activated cursor control. The processor detects voice commands for navigation and automatically moves the cursor to the appropriate fields, maintaining precise data entry while dramatically reducing the time required for navigation and eliminating the distraction of manual keyboard operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If scrolling is required to access fields, then all report fields can be displayed, but the user must manually scroll through the template

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess to all report fieldsVSAvoidease of navigation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual scrolling with voice-activated navigation. The processor detects voice commands that specify target fields and automatically scrolls the display to bring those fields into view, providing universal access to all report fields while eliminating the cumbersome manual scrolling operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Reliability

If live editing is performed during report preparation, then accurate final report can be achieved, but the process requires frequent navigation interruptions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereport accuracyVSAvoidreport generation efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical navigation interruptions with continuous voice-activated editing. The system maintains the current field focus and allows the user to speak corrections or additions without requiring mouse clicks or keyboard navigation, thus preserving report accuracy while maintaining continuous workflow and high productivity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method for automatically generating clinical structured reports based on templates using voice recognition, the method implemented by a computing device and includes applying a natural language processing algorithm to a captured voice input from a client to identify one or more keywords or phrases. At least one of a plurality of clinical structured report templates are identified based on the identified one or more keywords or phrases correlated to medical examination data points associated with each of the templates. A clinical structured report is automatically prepared based on the identified clinical structured report templates without a non-voice input and without an explicit separate voice command directed to manage a report generation operation. The clinical structured report includes modifications to the clinical structured report template based on the identified one or more keywords or phrases. The clinical structured report is provided to the client.
