This whitepaper from RTI explores how developers can accelerate the creation of connected medical technology systems using the RTI MedTech Reference Architecture. Designed as a ready-to-use framework, it provides pre-configured data models, Quality of Service (QoS) settings, DDS entities, security artifacts, and documentation to help reduce technical risk and streamline development.
The paper explains how the architecture supports the design of reliable, real-time medical systems using RTI Connext, providing best practices, reusable components, and practical guidance for system development. It also demonstrates how reference architectures can help teams understand key design concepts and accelerate implementation efforts.
A key focus of the whitepaper is a series of demonstrations that showcase the architecture in action, including a surgical robotics application, data recording and replay capabilities, and teleoperation over wide area networks. These examples highlight approaches to system connectivity, secure communications, data management, and distributed medical device operation.
