Abstract:
Integrating new technology into a legacy medical system can be very challenging. Completely new systems cannot always be built due to the high cost of medical equipment, thus integrating some new technology into an existing system may be required. This paper looks at the issues and challenges surrounding the integration of new components into a legacy system for collecting medical data. We discuss how the issues were solved, the lessons learned, and how future upgrades can be made more easily.
