Abstract

Claims (46)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by at least one electronic processor to perform a method of determining a layout for one or more medical devices in a medical facility, the method comprising:

obtaining images of a plurality of locations of the medical facility;

mapping the obtained images to an architectural layout of the medical facility;

generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of the medical facility based on the mapping;

determining a recommended location for the one or more medical devices using the 3D model;

determining a recommended placement of the one or more medical devices in the recommended location based on the recommended location; and

outputting an image showing the determined recommended placement of the medical devices in the recommended location;

wherein the determining of the recommended location for the one or more medical devices using the 3D model includes:

performing a multi-agent optimization in which each agent of the multi-agent optimization optimizes for a corresponding feature selected from one or more of:

an agent to minimize a distance between the recommended location and an emergency room (ER);

an agent to minimize a number of elevator trips between the recommended location and the ER; and

an agent to minimize a distance between from the recommended location and a nearest emergency exit; and

determining the recommended location based on the multi-agent optimization.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining of images of a plurality of locations of the medical facility includes:

obtaining images of interior rooms and hallways of the medical facility with an augmented reality (AR) headset.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein mapping the obtained images to an architectural layout of the medical facility includes:

receiving, via the AR headset, one or more annotations from a user, the annotations comprising labels of landmarks of the one or more images of the interior rooms and the hallways of the medical facility; and

mapping the annotated landmarks to the architectural layout of the medical facility.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 2 , wherein generating a 3D model of the medical facility based on the mapping includes:

providing, a graphical user interface (GUI), on a display device of the AR headset;

receiving, via at least one user input device of the AR headset, one or more inputs from a user, the inputs being indicative of a labelling or adjustment of landmarks in the obtained images.

5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein outputting an image showing the recommended placement for the medical devices includes:

outputting the image of the recommended placement on the display device of the AR headset.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4 , wherein outputting the image of the recommended placement on the display device of the AR headset includes:

highlighting portions of the image related to the recommended placement.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining of images of a plurality of locations of the medical facility includes:

obtaining one or more images of an exterior of the medical facility.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the multi-agent optimization includes optimizing a weighted average of outputs of the agents of the multi-agent optimization.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the outputting of the image showing the determined recommended placement of the medical devices in the recommended location includes:

graphically displaying on the image representations of the optimized agents generated by the performed multi-agent optimization.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the recommended placement for the one or more medical devices based on the determined optimal location includes:

determining a position and/or orientation of the one or more medical devices based on at least building constraints or government constraints of the medical facility.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9 , wherein determining of the recommended placement based on at least building constraints or government restraint of the medical facility includes:

using a grid optimization process to identify the position and/or orientation of the one or more medical devices that satisfies the building constraints and government constraints.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the recommended placement for the one or more medical devices based on the determined recommended location includes:

using a machine-learning process trained on historical installations of the one or more medical devices to determine the recommended placement.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the method further includes:

validating the recommended location or the recommended placement of the one or more medical devices ensuring that the recommended location or the recommended placement satisfies manufacturing, building, or government regulations related to the medical facility.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the validating includes:

repeating the determining of the recommended location or the recommended placement of the one or more medical devices when one or more of the regulations is not satisfied.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the method further includes:

determining a recommended placement for a plurality of medical devices.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the recommended placement for the one or more medical devices based on the determined optimal location includes

wherein outputting the image of the recommended placement on the display device of the AR headset includes:

outputting the image showing existing medical devices being removed from a location of the medical facility and showing the recommended placement for the one or more medical devices; and

determining a location for the removed existing medical devices.
