Advancing Healthcare Research Through Live-Data Integration: Implementing IEEE 11073 and FHIR in Clinical Environment.

The efficient direct integration of real-time medical device data is a promising approach to improve patient care enabling a direct and eminent intervention. This study presents a comprehensive approach for integrating real-time medical device data into clinical environments using the HL7® FHIR® standards and IEEE 11073 Service-Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC). The study proposes a conceptual framework and an opensource proof-of-concept implementation for real-time data integration within the Medical Data Integration Center (MeDIC) at UKSH.

Service-Oriented Medical Device Connectivity: Particular Standards for Endoscopic Surgery.

To translate recent advances in medical device interoperability research into clinical practice, standards are being developed that specify precise requirements towards the network representation of particular medical devices connecting through ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC. The present contribution supplements this protocol standard with specific models for endoscopic camera systems, light sources, insufflators, and pumps. Through industry consensus, these new standards provide modular means to describe the devices' capabilities and modes of interaction in a service-oriented medical device communication architecture.
