- Development of medical device safety and performance standards
- Foundational requirements for the deployment of apps for advanced clinical capabilities such as smart alarms, safety interlocks and closed-loop control
Description of Research
My research group, the Medical Device Plug-and-Play (MD PnP) Interoperability Program, is accelerating the adoption of safe, secure, interoperable medical devices to enable the creation of complete and accurate electronic health records and cost-effective development of innovative medical apps for diagnosis, treatment, research, safety and quality improvements, equipment management, and adverse event detection and reporting. We are working to develop sharable software tools and applications that will enable a broader community of researchers and manufacturers to implement medical device interoperability with a focus on improving patient safety. Our work includes identifying clinical problems that could be solved through reliable, comprehensive medical system integration, and the implementation of those solutions through the development of open standards and technology in our lab "sandbox". We work closely with the FDA, DoD, VA, NIST, NSF, NIH, manufacturers and other groups to help align clinical, research, manufacturing, policy and regulatory needs. We are involved with the development of international safety and performance standards for anesthesia and respiratory care equipment and interoperability. Our program website contains information about specific initiatives.
