Summary of the dissertation

Technologies that enable connectivity, interoperability and automation have the potential to increase the quality and efficiency of patient care. Nevertheless, they are only slowly finding their way into medical technology.

This dissertation therefore uses the example of operating tables to investigate the necessary adaptations to the software and E/E architectures of medical devices in the operating room in order to achieve these goals without compromising safety.

To this end, a hybrid architecture with signal-based and service-oriented communication is presented that meets the flexibility requirements for modular and interoperable systems and also takes legacy modules into account.

In addition, a special focus is placed on the detection of anomalies, for example during the movement of the operating table by monitoring its positions, for which a novel approach was presented that uses hybrid plausibility checks that combine data- and model-based algorithms for anomaly detection.
