The HERMES project developed a novel indirect client-server architecture to integrate commercial software with existing medical informatics systems. This solution facilitates the use of reliable legacy systems alongside new off-the-shelf medical software.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Software Engineering
  • Clinical Systems Integration

Background:

  • Increasing adoption of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software in clinical settings presents integration challenges.
  • Existing reliable legacy medical software often needs to coexist with new COTS solutions.
  • Lack of standardized methods for integrating diverse medical software systems hinders clinical workflow efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and propose solutions for integrating legacy medical informatics systems with commercial software.
  • To address the challenge of combining proprietary COTS solutions with established in-house medical software.
  • To develop a flexible architecture enabling seamless data exchange and interoperability between different clinical software.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of various integration strategies through a prototyping phase.
  • Implementation of an indirect client-server model in collaboration with industry partners.
  • Description of the HERMES project's system architecture and its key functionalities.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation of an indirect client-server architecture for medical software integration.
  • Demonstration of a viable approach to combine commercial solutions with existing legacy systems.
  • Development of systems for clinical data analysis and patient care (cardiology) based on the HERMES architecture.

Conclusions:

  • The HERMES architecture provides a robust framework for integrating diverse medical software.
  • The indirect client-server model effectively bridges the gap between COTS and legacy systems.
  • This integration approach supports the development of advanced clinical data analysis and patient care tools.
