Function Oriented Search Outline As to demonstrate further application of basic TRIZ concept in Biomedical problems, at the end of this session you should be able to: 1. Describe in brief that problem solving does not always involve a new invention. 2. Describe in brief Function-Oriented-Search (FoS). 3. Describe in brief the application of FOS approach to solve a biomedical problem.  Function Oriented Search (FoS) Function oriented Search is about adaptation rather than invention of something entire new TRIZ teaches us that we can borrow concepts/technological ideas from other industry areas or even from the greatest teacher Mother Earth Idea from Manufacturing Agriculture problem  Direct Object Search  Function-Oriented Search We normally perform “Object-oriented-Search” which means we search for specific objects. But then we get millions of hits, showing us many directions to continue searching as we then continue searching…..throughout our lives. Function Oriented Search is a structured form of search where we focus on solutions from either leading industry areas or Mother Nature It is a problem-solving tool based upon identifying existing technologies worldwide, using a function criteria[Oleg Feygensen, 2011] FoS involves 5 steps: asknature.org 1. Define the main function 2. Generalize it, 3. search – choose leading tech lens.org 4. Define new concept Study possible technologies used and determine Dyson Awards suitability to be applied for current problem scenario 5. come up with inventive product  Case Study: Disinfecting Contact Lenses Contact lenses need to be sterilized to ensure that it is safe to wear. There are however a number of disadvantages relation to the use of chemical cleansing liquids for sterilization. https://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Contact-Lenses Can we invent a new technology for disinfecting the contact lens? Case Study: Sterilizing Contact Lenses Cleansing sterilize Contact ? Agent Lenses Adapted from :Montecchi, T., & Russo, D. (2015).

Gums are harmed due to the effect of the gel.
