Solution Overview

Problem

Existing remote ischemic preconditioning (RIP) devices lack portability, security, compliance, and social media integration, which hinders user experience and effectiveness in inducing optimal systemic protection against physiological and pathological insults.

Innovation Solution

A decentralized network infrastructure using blockchain or Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for secure, portable, and hack-proof wearable devices that authenticate and record ORIP sessions as self-executing smart contracts, ensuring user confidentiality and incentivizing peer participation through content creation and monetization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional centralized database infrastructure is used, then data storage and management are simplified, but network security and user privacy are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork securityVSAvoidnetwork infrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized database into distributed nodes across a peer-to-peer network. Each node maintains a copy of the ledger, eliminating single points of failure and improving security while distributing complexity across multiple independent components rather than concentrating it in one centralized system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces blockchain as an intermediary layer between users and the data storage system. This intermediary provides cryptographic verification and consensus mechanisms that enhance security and trust without requiring users to directly manage complex infrastructure, effectively mediating between security needs and infrastructure complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If portable wearable devices are used, then user mobility and accessibility are improved, but device security and data protection are weakened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice portabilityVSAvoiddevice security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces physical security mechanisms with cryptographic authentication and blockchain verification. Instead of relying on physical device security alone, the system uses digital signatures, public-key cryptography, and smart contracts to secure data, maintaining security while enabling portability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary authentication and authorization through smart contracts before data access or device operation. User identities and device permissions are verified in advance through blockchain validation, ensuring security is established before the portable device is used, thus maintaining both portability and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If basic ORIP functionality is provided, then device simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and compliance are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddevice functionality complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the single-function ORIP device into a multi-functional platform that combines health monitoring, social networking, content creation, and cryptocurrency rewards. This universal approach allows the device to serve multiple purposes simultaneously, increasing user engagement without significantly increasing physical complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service mechanisms where users automatically earn cryptocurrency rewards through smart contracts that detect and verify ORIP compliance. The system automatically monitors usage, validates compliance through blockchain, and distributes rewards without requiring manual intervention, thereby increasing engagement while keeping the interface simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Productivity

If social media integration is added, then user motivation and participation are enhanced, but data privacy and security risks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser participationVSAvoiddata confidentiality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses blockchain as an intermediary that enables social media integration while protecting privacy. User interactions, content sharing, and reward distributions are mediated through smart contracts on the blockchain, which verify and record transactions without exposing sensitive personal data, thus maintaining confidentiality while enabling participation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements anonymous or pseudonymous user identities on the blockchain that copy essential interaction data for social media functionality without revealing true personal identities. This allows users to engage in social activities and earn rewards while their actual personal information remains protected, separating the copy of interaction data from sensitive personal data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
