Abstract

Systems, apparatus, instructions, and methods for configuring and controlling medical equipment using a digital assistant are disclosed. An example digital assistant apparatus includes at least one processor to execute the instructions to at least: form a digital model of at least one aspect of a medical equipment; transform the model into a configuration for the medical equipment to perform a task; process input to adjust the configuration; provide the configuration to the medical equipment; monitor execution of the task by the medical equipment; and adjust the configuration of the medical equipment based on the monitored execution.

Claims (45)

1. A digital assistant apparatus comprising:

memory including instructions; and

at least one processor to execute the instructions to at least:

form a model of at least one aspect of a medical equipment;

transform the model into a configuration for the medical equipment to perform a task;

process input to adjust the configuration;

provide the configuration to the medical equipment;

monitor execution of the task by the medical equipment; and

adjust the configuration of the medical equipment based on the monitored execution;

wherein the model is included in a digital twin of the medical equipment and

wherein the digital twin represents a digital model of the medical equipment,

wherein the medical equipment comprises a plurality of medical equipment types;

wherein the input includes at least one of location, user, or version of the medical equipment.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the model is provided as a plugin to the digital twin.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the input includes at least one of input from the medical equipment and input from a user device.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the model is a first model, the configuration is a first configuration, and the medical equipment is a first medical equipment, and wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to generate a second model from a second configuration captured from a second medical equipment.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the model is an artificial intelligence model.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to adjust the model based on at least one of feedback, location, or version.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to provide the configuration for interactive display and approval via a graphical user interface.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein feedback via the graphical user interface is to form the input to adjust the configuration.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the location comprises a location of a physician that interacts with the medical equipment.

10. At least one tangible computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least:

form a model of at least one aspect of a medical equipment;

transform the model into a configuration for the medical equipment to perform a task;

process input to adjust the configuration;

provide the configuration to the medical equipment;

monitor execution of the task by the medical equipment; and

adjust the configuration of the medical equipment based on the monitored execution,

wherein the model is included in a digital twin of the medical equipment and wherein the digital twin represents a digital model of the medical equipment, wherein the medical equipment comprises a plurality of medical equipment types, wherein the input includes at least one of location, user, or version of the medical equipment.

11. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the model is provided as a plugin to the digital twin.

12. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the input includes at least one of input from the medical equipment and input from a user device.

13. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the model is a first model, the configuration is a first configuration, and the medical equipment is a first medical equipment, and wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to generate a second model from a second configuration captured from a second medical equipment.

14. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the model is an artificial intelligence model.

15. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to adjust the model based on at least one of feedback, location, or version.

16. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to provide the configuration for interactive display and approval via a graphical user interface.

17. The at least one computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of medical equipment types comprises a combination medical equipment types.

18. A computer-implemented method to configure medical equipment using a digital assistant, the method comprising:

forming a model of at least one aspect of a medical equipment types;

transforming the model into a configuration for the medical equipment to perform a task;

processing input to adjust the configuration;

providing the configuration to the medical equipment;

monitoring execution of the task by the medical equipment; and

adjusting the configuration of the medical equipment based on the monitored execution;

wherein the model is included in a digital twin of the medical equipment and wherein the digital twin represents a digital model of the medical equipment, wherein the medical equipment comprises a plurality of medical equipment types, wherein the input includes at least one of location, user, or version of the medical equipment.

19. The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the plurality of medical equipment types comprises, catheterization lab equipment, medical imaging devices, medical tools, medical information systems, a picture archiving and communication system (PACS), a radiology information system (RIS), an electronic medical record (EMR) system, a health information system (HIS), a laboratory information system (LIS), a cardiovascular information system (CVIS), and ablation devices.
