Abstract: A fast booting computer apparatus includes one or more processors and a memory comprising a hard disk drive and a solid state drive coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory. The solid state drive is configured to store and provide the programmed instructions for an operating system for execution by the one or more processors when requested.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of managing medical device safety comprises communicatively coupling a recall portal hosted on a network server to a health network and a computer database of medical records. Further, initiating a medical device recall through the recall portal and the health network. A consumer contact information associated with a medical device to be recalled is queried. A medical recall information is sent to the consumer contact information accessed from the computer database of medical records.

Abstract: Various technologies related to managing a medical device recall are implemented. Automated recall functions can facilitate an efficient and effective recall process. Full lifecycle of the recall process can be managed including communication with patients and replacement of devices, as well as auditing and regulatory compliance. Via the technologies described herein, healthcare providers can manage a successful medical device recall. Unique device identification, electronic health records, electronic medical records, and nationwide health information networks can be supported. A unique device identifier-centric approach can support a very high degree of automation and avoid errors during any of a variety of segments in the medical device recall life cycle.

Abstract: A service definition document (SDD) framework is provided for defining blended services that utilize multiple service endpoints. The SDD framework can comprise a first category that defines a service endpoint representing a blended service, a second category that defines a plurality of service endpoints utilized by the blended service, and a third category that defines execution of the blended service. Blended services can be provided by creating a model of a blended service and saving a representation of the model of the blended service in a service definition document (SDD) framework. A blended service defined in a SDD framework can be executed by receiving the SDD and executing the blended service as defined by the SDD using a service execution environment (SEE).

Abstract: A system for remote management of patients and medical devices is provided. The system comprises one or more medical devices configured to measure one or more patient's health parameters. Further, the system comprises a personal health gateway configured to receive the one or more measured patient's health parameters. The personal health gateway further comprises a management module. Furthermore, the system comprises a public network configured to connect the one or more personal health gateways to a managed patient services platform. The managed patient services platform is configured to facilitate remote management of the one or more medical devices and patients. The managed patient services platform further comprises a management module. The system comprises a hospital system configured to facilitate one or more functionality of a healthcare facility.

Abstract: A three-layer architecture is provided for implementing a software development kit (SDK) for developing blended service software applications that utilize multiple service endpoints. The three-layer architecture comprises an application programming interface (API) layer, a core layer, and a communication layer. The API layer provides a set of interfaces for developing blended services that utilize a plurality of service endpoints. The core layer receives commands from the API layer and transforms the received commands for communication with the plurality of service endpoints. The communication layer provides communication adapters for communicating with the plurality of service endpoints. Blended service software applications can be developed using the SDK by receiving a plurality of API commands for a blended service that utilizes a plurality of service endpoints, determining a plurality of worker classes, and providing communication adapters for communicating with the plurality of service endpoints.

Abstract: A blended service creation environment is provided for developing blended service software applications that utilize multiple service endpoints. The blended service creation environment comprises a software development kit, a graphical service creation environment, and service endpoint simulators. Blended services can be tested locally using the service endpoint simulators, which simulate communication with actual service endpoints. The graphical service creation environment can be used to create blended services that utilize multiple service endpoints from different service providers. A service definition document can be used to define a blended service and the service definition document can be used to execute the blended service using a service execution environment.
