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. 11,857,716.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A novel, automated urine treatment system that integrates AI-powered sensors, IoT-enabled remote monitoring, and blockchain-based health record systems to provide real-time feedback, secure tracking, and personalized recommendations for improving urinary health.

Background and Problem Solved

The original automatic urine treatment system had limitations in terms of real-time monitoring, data security, and personalized feedback. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by synergistically combining the original system with AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies to provide a more comprehensive and effective solution for elderly persons or long-term care patients with micturition disorders.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The system consists of a receiver for receiving a wearer's excrement, a main body including a urine tank for receiving and storing urine from the receiver, and an AI-powered sensor for analyzing the components contained in the urine and providing real-time feedback to a caregiver. Additionally, the system integrates with a blockchain-based health record system, generating a unique identifier for each urine treatment event and storing the identifier on a blockchain, allowing for secure and transparent tracking of patient health data. The system also includes an IoT-enabled module for remotely monitoring and controlling the system, enabling real-time adjustments to be made to the treatment process. Furthermore, the system utilizes a novel material for the urine tank, comprising a water-permeable fiber infused with antimicrobial nanoparticles, which exhibits improved antibacterial properties and reduced odor emission.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce the innovative combination of AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies with the original automatic urine treatment system, providing a synergistic solution that is not obvious from the original patent. The integration of these technologies enables real-time monitoring, secure data tracking, and personalized feedback, which are not present in the original system.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different AI algorithms, IoT protocols, or blockchain platforms. Variations of the system could also be designed for use in different healthcare settings, such as hospitals or clinics, or for specific patient populations, such as pediatric or geriatric patients.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The synergistic urine treatment system has significant commercial potential in the healthcare industry, particularly in the areas of elderly care, long-term care, and urology. The system's ability to provide real-time feedback, secure data tracking, and personalized recommendations makes it an attractive solution for healthcare providers seeking to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
