Abstract: In a method for data communication between a server system (3) and a front-end computing device (2) in a healthcare environment the front-end computing device (2) transmits a request for a data connection to a primary interface (30) of the server system (3). The server system (3) processes the request, and a data connection between the server system (3) and the front-end computing device (2) is established as a result of the processing. Herein, said processing includes creating a secondary interface (32) on the server system (3) dedicated to the request and transmitting information to access said secondary interface (32) to the front-end computing device (2), wherein said establishing includes connecting, by the front-end-computing device (2), to said secondary interface (32) using information received from the server system (3).

Abstract: An edge computing system for locally processing data in a clinical network administered by a remote central sewer device (100), comprising: at least one medical care device (SAA, SAN), at least one first edge-node (3A), and a monitoring device (7) assigned to the at least one medical care device (SAA, SAN); the at least one first edge-node (3A) comprising: a connection interface (13) adapted to establish a data connection with the at least one medical care device (SAA, SAN), and with at least one of the remote central sewer device (100) and the monitoring device (7); and a processing module (15) adapted to: (i) aggregate raw data from the at least one medical care device (SAA, SAN), (ii) combine at least metadata with the aggregated raw data to generate processed data, and (iii) transmit the processed data to the monitoring device (7) and/or to the remote central sewer device (100) via the data connection.

Abstract: In a method for data communication between an infusion station (1) and a front-end computing device (2) in a healthcare environment data is in an upstream direction (A1) and received in a downstream direction (A2), by at least one infusion station (1) for carrying out an infusion operation. In addition, data is in the upstream direction (A1) received and in the downstream direction (A2) transmitted by at least one front-end computing device (2). Herein, data in the upstream direction (A1) is received from and in the downstream direction (A2) is transmitted to the at least one infusion station (1) by a driver module (DP1-DP4), and data in the upstream direction (A1) is transmitted to and in the downstream direction (A2) is received from the at least one front-end computing device (2) by a virtual device module (VD1, VD2).

Abstract: A system for communicating health data in a healthcare environment (1) comprises a communication network (4) for communicating health data in the healthcare environment (1), a reporting device (2) for transferring health data via the communication network (4), and a consuming device (3) for receiving health data from the reporting device (2) via a communication channel (41) of the communication network (4). Herein, the consuming device (3), for receiving health data from the reporting device (2), is constituted to send a subscription request message (A1) containing a subscription request to the reporting device (2), and that the reporting device (2) is constituted, upon receiving the subscription request message (A1), to validate the subscription request and to establish the communication channel (41) to transfer health data to the consuming device (3).
