Ventricular Assist Device in Health 4.0 Context
Abstract
In the current digital era, the physical world has a cyber-representation. Both the real and virtual worlds are connected in areas, such as informatics and manufacturing. This phenomenon is currently emerging in health applications. Health 4.0 (H4.0) refers to a group of initiatives aiming to improve medical care for patients, change the business practices of hospitals and create new insight for researchers and medical device suppliers. Increasing collaboration in terms of physicians, medical equipment, artificial organs, and biosensors is a way to facilitate H4.0. In this work, a reference architecture model for Industry 4.0 (RAMI 4.0) is used to support such collaboration in medical devices control system projects. A methodology was applied to design a ventricular assist device. The results show that RAMI 4.0 is an adequate technique for modeling a device as a H4.0 component. Future works should implement the designed control system.
