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. 11,857,525.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A next-generation approach to preventing and treating surgery-induced cachexia through wearable devices, machine learning algorithms, novel compositions of matter, and gene editing technology, providing personalized and real-time interventions.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed compositions and methods for treating or preventing surgery-induced cachexia and/or expression of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, these methods rely on standardized supplements and do not account for individual variations in biomarkers, genetic predispositions, or real-time physiological responses. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing personalized, adaptive, and precision-based approaches to cachexia prevention and treatment.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new inventive concept comprises a system for personalized nutrition, utilizing wearable devices to monitor biomarkers and administer customized immunonutrition supplements in real-time. Additionally, machine learning algorithms generate predictive models of cachexia risk, enabling preventative measures. A novel composition of matter featuring a synergistic blend of L-arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and dietary nucleotides enhances the body's natural immune response. Furthermore, a computer-implemented system analyzes genomic data to identify genetic markers associated with increased cachexia risk, providing personalized nutritional recommendations. Finally, gene editing technology is employed to modify the expression of genes involved in myeloid-derived suppressor cells and pro-inflammatory cytokines, preventing or treating surgery-induced cachexia.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a paradigm shift in cachexia prevention and treatment by incorporating wearable devices, machine learning, novel compositions of matter, and gene editing technology. These innovations provide a personalized, adaptive, and precision-based approach that surpasses the original patent's standardized supplement-based methods.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include the use of implantable devices, mobile applications, or telemedicine platforms to monitor biomarkers and provide personalized interventions. Variations may also involve the integration of additional biomarkers, genetic markers, or physiological responses to further enhance the predictive models and personalized recommendations.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The new inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the healthcare and nutrition industries, particularly in the areas of personalized medicine, precision nutrition, and gene editing technology. Target markets may include hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers, as well as consumers seeking personalized nutrition and wellness solutions.
