Summary of the Inventive Concept
A wearable, real-time fluid flow monitoring and control system that leverages machine learning and predictive analytics to optimize infusion therapy, ensuring accurate and personalized fluid delivery.
Background and Problem Solved
The original patent's integrated liquid flow closed loop sensing and control technology has limitations in terms of real-time monitoring and adaptability. The new inventive concept addresses these limitations by introducing a wearable, machine learning-based system that predicts potential flow rate deviations and adjusts the infusion rate accordingly, providing a more accurate and personalized infusion experience.
Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept
The Intelligent Infusion Management System consists of a wearable infusion device with an integrated fluid flow sensor and a machine learning-based predictive analytics module. The module analyzes real-time sensor data and patient-specific information to predict potential flow rate deviations, adjusting the infusion rate to ensure optimal fluid delivery. The system also includes a cloud-based fluid flow monitoring platform, a network of wearable infusion devices, and a real-time data analytics module to detect anomalies in fluid flow data and alert healthcare professionals to potential infusion errors.
Novelty and Inventive Step
The new inventive concept introduces a wearable, machine learning-based system that integrates real-time fluid flow monitoring, predictive analytics, and adaptive control, providing a novel and non-obvious solution for optimizing infusion therapy. The use of machine learning algorithms and real-time sensor data to generate patient-specific fluid flow profiles and dynamically adjust the infusion rate is a significant departure from the original patent's technology.
Alternative Embodiments and Variations
Alternative embodiments of the Intelligent Infusion Management System could include a modular design with interchangeable sensors and analytics modules, or a standalone fluid flow monitoring device that integrates with existing infusion systems. Variations could also include the use of different machine learning algorithms or sensor technologies to optimize fluid flow monitoring and control.
Potential Commercial Applications and Market
The Intelligent Infusion Management System has significant commercial potential in the medical device industry, particularly in the areas of infusion therapy, patient monitoring, and personalized medicine. The system's ability to optimize fluid delivery and reduce the risk of infusion errors could lead to improved patient outcomes, reduced healthcare costs, and increased market share for companies that adopt this technology.
