(RTI) provides a connectivity platform for the Industrial Internet of Things.

Applications include remote robotic control in heart surgery, as well as more mundane patient monitoring and personal, preventive healthcare. The use case is part of GE\u2019s and RTI\u2019s work in the emerging Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-5-DDS.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13563\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-5-DDS.jpg\" alt=\"GE Healthcare 5 DDS\" width=\"638\" height=\"479\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13563\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The DDS standard was approved by the Object Management Group in 2003 and has evolved since that time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThis architecture is already being used in more than 1,000 designs.&#8221; \u2014Edwin de Jong, RTI<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requirements_to_the_connectivity_layer\"><\/span>Requirements to the connectivity layer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The challenge is to get large amounts of data \u201cfrom the edges of the network to the (Predix) data analytics,\u201d de Jong said.<\/p>\n<p>In a hospital setting, the complex monitoring systems in this use case handle 1.5 gigabytes of raw data generated by each patient per day. The data goes onto a network for potential use throughout the system\u2014respiratory, anaesthesia, diagnostics, cardiology, maternal and infant care, for example\u2014in a distributed manner that involves the use of a publisher \/ subscriber model and virtual tables, according to de Jong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-2-patient-data.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13559\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-2-patient-data-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"GE Healthcare 2 patient data\" width=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13559\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need a smart connectivity layer with a great, sub-second response time\u201d to make this work, de Jong said. The system must be robust enough to continue even through temporary losses of connectivity, with some built-in intelligence in the edge devices. Security is a natural priority, given the confidential nature of private patient information.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-1-overview.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13560\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-1-overview.jpg\" alt=\"GE Healthcare 1 overview\" width=\"638\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13560\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_use_of_all_the_data\"><\/span>Smart use of all the data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>But incisive judgement on handling the mass of data is also required. For example, \u201cnot everything needs to be encrypted,\u201d de Jong pointed out. \u201cFor example, with CT scans, the control signals sent to the scanner are not confidential, but the system must know the data originates from someone who is authorized. Authentication and authorization are important here, but not necessarily data encryption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Edwin-de-Jong-v2.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13661\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Edwin-de-Jong-v2.png\" alt=\"Edwin-de-Jong-v2\" width=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-13661\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another type of example comes from the control of robots during cardiological procedures. In this system, a surgeon uses haptic controls to control robotic arms, with updates running at 3 kHz, or 3,000 times per second. Updating at this pace allows the surgeon to view a static image of the heart even as the arms are performing the procedure on a beating heart. This reduces the procedure\u2019s invasiveness, as it obviates the traditional need to stop the heart and put a patient on life support during the surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, updates on the patient\u2019s vital signs can be propagated at 60 times per second, thus reducing the need for CPU power while effectively doing its monitoring work. This sort of Quality of Service (QoS) setting is ingrained in the system, and involve simple settings that can be changed on the fly, de Jong said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data-centricity_and_scalability\"><\/span>Data-centricity and scalability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The RTI system is data-centric, which de Jong notes is the key to its usefulness. It is scalable to hundreds of thousands of data points, something that\u2019s required in a hospital setting with hundreds of patients who move around to different departments frequently. It has a central, virtual data bus upon which all the data flows.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-4-features.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13561\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-4-features.jpg\" alt=\"GE Healthcare 4 features\" width=\"638\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13561\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is no direct interaction among machines, and communication paths are created by middleware based on a discovery model, according to de Jong. The model is the opposite of an object-oriented model that encapsulates data and exposes methods; the data-centric system encapsulates methods and exposes data. The components are not, and need not be, aware of one another; a heart monitor, for example, \u201cjust publishes data and doesn\u2019t care who is subscribing to that data,\u201d de Jong pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_peer-to-peer_plug-and-play_data_bus\"><\/span>A peer-to-peer, plug-and-play data bus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The model thus results in a very flexible architecture, in which it\u2019s easy to add more sensors to the system. Examples include not only expansion for more patients, but redundant heart monitors, or the ability to treat patients both locally and remotely. \u201cYou can add components even at runtime without making other changes to the system,\u201d according to de Jong. \u201cDDS acts as a peer-to-peer, plug-and-play data bus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The data is published and prescribed through an associated schema like a database. \u201cThink of it as a table with fields such as patient info, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc.\u201d de Jong said. \u201cThe table doesn\u2019t physically exist anywhere but is present throughout the system.\u201d Predix interfaces with the table at this point, and through a DDS interface gets data from subscribers, then pushes it wherever needed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-6-data-centric.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13562\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/GE-Healthcare-6-data-centric.jpg\" alt=\"GE Healthcare 6 data-centric\" width=\"638\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13562\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThis architecture has generated more than US$1 trillion in investment to date.&#8221; \u2014Edwin de Jong, RTI<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_network_is_the%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>The network is the\u2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>GE Healthcare and RTI like to take the high-level view that \u201cthe network is the healthcare,\u201d consciously echoing the great slogan in the 90s by former Sun Microsystems CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/smcnealy\" target=\"_blank\">Scott McNealy<\/a> that \u201cthe network is the computer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his presentation, de Jong also noted that this data-centric architecture is already being applied to many fields within the emerging IIoT, including transportation, communications, and defense.
