The embedded medical department of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), Germany, is cooperating with the Health Foundation Hospital in Noerdlingen in testing the exchange of real-time medical images and other medical data during an operation or other emergency tasks. LMU not only educates medical students, but also operates one of the most embedded hospitals in Germany. The hospital in Noerdlingen is small and old, founded in the 13th century, but very modern. It serves several small communities around it.
Noerdlingen is fairly remote by German standards, which is one reason why it was chosen for this embedded application. So if an operation is or becomes critical, experts in Munich can literally see what is going on in the operation room in Noerdlingen and give recommendations on what to do or analyze the available data, including Computed Tomography (CT) scans. A number of embedded electronic devices (blood pressure, heart frequency, ultrasound, laser imaging, nerve reaction speed, and so on), high-performance computer systems, and high-speed communications links are involved in this application.
