The need for systemic analysis and design methodology of medical equipments

Abstract

The diversity of the medical equipments in hospital systems requires a structured analysis and design methodology in order to get perceptions and correct understandings of the internal working of these equipments. Indeed, medical equipments are intended to help the diagnosis and the medical problem treatment. They are conceived in general according to rigorous rules of security. Then, we identify various the basis types of the medical equipments: diagnosis, therapeutic, vital, monitors and laboratory equipments. To answer to this problem, the proposed methodology is based on the use of a systemic modelling approach in order to analysis and design medical equipments. This is why it is necessary to identify the rigorous security rules of various medical equipments as well as all the technical aspects related to the conception and the development of systems based on electronics and data processing.
