How could medicine change? 
•Improved diagnosis? 
•Delegated care? Delegated treatment? 
•Machine assisted diagnosis, care and treatment? 
•Improved safety? 
© 2014 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.
Three important drivers 
•Evolution from the stand-alone system to a distributed system 
•Connection of devices to improve patient outcome 
•The replacement of dedicated point-to-point wiring with networks
Ultrasound Imaging 
”BK Medical is truly redefining Medical Ultrasound Imaging where the traditional single user / single system approach is being replaced with fully scalable and distributed multi-user systems 
This required a completely new way of gluing the individual components together. For this reason we selected the RTI DDS middleware as this gives us all the flexibility and the abstraction layer needed for the future of Analogic Ultrasound” 
-- Jesper Lomborg Manigoff, VP of Engineering, Analogic Global Ultrasound

Surgical Robotics 
•The Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS) system at DLR coordinates three robots to perform delicate heart surgery. 
•The system closes a distributed loop between the robots and the remote surgeon’s control at 3kHz. 
•RTI enables new medical techniques 
©2014 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.
Driver 2: Connect devices to improve patient outcome 
•IT problem: Patient records 
•M2M problem: Intensive care diagnostics 
•HMI problem: Enable staff to come to a safe diagnosis and safe decisions assisted by data correlation 
© 2014 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.
Device Connection for Patient Safety 
•Hospital error is the 6th leading cause of preventable death 
•DocBox integrates devices to improve patient safety 
•RTI Connext ties together devices, services, and displays in real time 
©2014 Real-Time Innovations, Inc. 
“RTI Connext DDS met all our needs – whether we’re handling 12 patients, or 200.” -- DocBox Founder, Tracy Rausch
Industry Interoperation 
•The Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE) standard specifies interoperability for medical devices 
•All ICU & operating room devices — from blood pressure cuffs to intravenous pumps to ventilators — could be interconnected according to the ICE standard 
–Complete logging 
–Automatic error detection 
–Better care 
•The DDS standard and RTI middleware enables plug & play interoperability across manufacturers

What is interoperability? © 2012 Real-Time Innovations, Inc. 32 Level 0 No Interoperability Level 6 Conceptual Interoperability Level 5 Dynamic Interoperability Level 4 Pragmatic Interoperability Level 3 Semantic Interoperability Level 2 Syntactic Interoperability Level 1 Technical Interoperability Stand alone systems that have no interoperability Full assumptions and constraints of meaningful abstraction of reality. Fully specified but independent model Maintains state changes between systems during run time. Includes assumptions and constraints that effect data interchange Systems are aware of methods & procedures of other systems. Context is understood by all participating systems Meaning of data is exchanged through use of a common information model. The meaning of information is shared and unambiguously defined. Common structure or common data format for exchanging information. The format of the information exchange is unambiguously defined Communication protocol for exchanging data. Bits & Bytes are exchanged in an unambiguous manner Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) for Systems Engineering VMASC (Virginia Modeling, analysis and simulation centre)
