This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,455.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A modular, intelligent, and adaptive system for menstrual discharge collection, offering personalized comfort, hygiene, and convenience through advanced sensing, 3D printing, and self-cleaning technologies.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a reusable menstrual disc-shaped device with dual durometer materials. However, this design has limitations in accommodating diverse user anatomies and providing real-time adaptability. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a modular, wearable, and intelligent system that can be tailored to individual users and adapt to changing physiological conditions.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The Adaptive Menstrual Discharge Collection System consists of interchangeable rim components with adjustable hardness and universal, adaptable catch components with dynamic sealing mechanisms. The system incorporates AI-powered sensing to detect user-specific physiological signals, adjusting the device's shape and hardness in real-time. Additionally, the system features self-cleaning mechanisms, such as hydrophobic coatings and UV-C light sources, to ensure hygiene and convenience. The modular design enables users to customize their devices through 3D printing and scanning technology.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new inventive concept's novelty lies in its integration of advanced sensing, 3D printing, and self-cleaning technologies to create a modular, adaptive, and intelligent system for menstrual discharge collection. The inventive step is the combination of these technologies to provide real-time adaptability, personalized comfort, and convenience, which is not evident in the original patent or prior art.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the Adaptive Menstrual Discharge Collection System could include wearable devices with integrated sensors, implantable devices with real-time monitoring, or external devices with AI-powered predictive analytics. Variations could also involve different materials, geometries, or mechanisms for adapting to user anatomies and physiological conditions.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The Adaptive Menstrual Discharge Collection System has significant commercial potential in the feminine hygiene industry, with potential applications in wearable technology, medical devices, and personalized healthcare. The target market includes women of reproductive age seeking comfortable, convenient, and hygienic menstrual discharge collection solutions.
