Summary of the Inventive Concept
The inventive concept integrates advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, IoT, blockchain, and new materials, with the patented stent loading device to create a more efficient, reliable, and connected system for stent deployment.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent disclosed a stent loading device for collapsing a collapsible stent in preparation for delivery and implantation into a body. However, the original device lacked real-time monitoring, data tracking, and optimized stent loading conditions. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by incorporating synergistic combinations of distinct technologies to enhance the stent loading process.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The inventive concept comprises a stent loading device system integrating an artificial intelligence module that predicts optimal stent loading conditions based on real-time data from sensors integrated into the stent loading device. Additionally, the system may include a blockchain-based data management system to track and verify the origin, quality, and performance of the stent during the loading process. An IoT-enabled sensor array may also be incorporated to monitor and control the stent loading process in real-time, transmitting data to a remote monitoring station. Furthermore, the system may utilize a robotic arm controlled by an AI-powered algorithm to optimize stent deployment in a minimally invasive procedure. The stent loading device may also be constructed using new materials with enhanced mechanical properties, providing improved durability and resistance to fatigue.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new inventive concept's synergistic combinations of distinct technologies, such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and new materials, with the patented stent loading device provide a non-obvious and novel solution for stent deployment. The integration of these technologies enables real-time monitoring, optimized stent loading conditions, and enhanced data management, which are not disclosed in the original patent.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include varying the type of AI algorithm used, incorporating additional sensors or data sources, utilizing different blockchain architectures, or integrating the stent loading device with other medical devices or systems. Variations may also include adapting the system for use with different types of stents or medical procedures.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in the fields of cardiology and vascular surgery. The system's ability to optimize stent deployment, reduce procedure time, and enhance data management can lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, and increased market share for companies adopting this technology.
