Purpose: Medical device interoperability in operating rooms (OR) provides advantages for both, patients and physicians. Several approaches were made to provide standards for successful device integration. However, with high heterogeneity of standards in the market, device vendors may reject these approaches. The aim of this work is therefore to provide a proof of concept for the connection of two promising integration solutions OR.NET and SCOT to increase vendor interest.
Methods: The connection of devices between both domains is targeted by implementing an application to map device capabilities between the IEEE 11073 SDC and ORiN standards. Potential properties of the respective architectures are defined. The connection was evaluated by latency measurements in a demonstrator setup utilizing an OR light as an exemplary device.
Results: The latency measurements resulted in a similar transmission speed of the GATOR (53.0 ms) and direct SDC-to-SDC (38.0 ms) communication. Direct proprietary ORiN-to-ORiN communication was faster in any case (8.0 ms).
Conclusion: A connection between both standards was successfully achieved via the GATOR application. The results show comparable magnitudes of the communication between the standards compared to the direct standard-internal communication.

Background: Interoperability is a critical enabler for integrated Personalized Diabetes Management (iPDM), automated insulin delivery (AID), and the digital transformation of healthcare in general. However, manufacturers still create closed ecosystems (ie, solutions designed to work end-to-end minimizing collaboration with other organizations) with proprietary interfaces because of various interoperability challenges. Therefore, the aim of this article is to provide an overview of how to achieve organizational interoperability in an open ecosystem (ie, solutions designed to integrate different organizations via interoperability standards) for diabetes management.

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.

Purpose: Since 2019, intraoperative networking with ISO IEEE 11073 SDC has, for the first time, enabled standardized multi-vendor data exchange between medical devices. For seamless plug-and-play integration of devices without previous configuration, further specifications for device profiles ("device specializations") on top of the existing core standards must be developed. These generic interfaces are then incorporated into the standardization process.
