Abstract

A distributed system can include a server outside of a clinical environment and a connectivity adapter and a plurality of infusion pumps within the clinical environment. The connectivity adapter can monitor microservices that measure the quality of connectivity adapter's performance. If the performance is below a threshold level, a message indicating poor performance can be sent to the server. The message can be sent when a prior message relating to poor performance has not already been sent within a predetermined time period.

Claims (36)

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor comprising computing hardware; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:

receive messages from a subset of infusion pumps over a first communication channel of a network within a clinical environment;

transmit at least a portion of operational software updates, drug library updates, or both over a second communication channel of the network to one or more infusion pumps;

monitor a plurality of parameters associated with one or more microservices, each microservice configured to determine functionality associated with operation of the apparatus, each parameter associated with a respective microservice;

determine that at least one parameter exceeds a threshold;

determine that messages transmitted to a server within a first time period exclude an indication that the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold;

format a message including an indication that the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold; and

transmit the formatted message to the server over the first communication channel of the network and reset at least one respective microservice associated with the at least one parameter.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the instructions further configure the apparatus to transmit the formatted message to the server only after a predetermined number of parameters exceed their respective thresholds.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the plurality of parameters include at least one of a queue size, latency, memory size, disk space, an indication of a number of connected devices, or CPU time.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each microservice of the one or more microservices is configured to create containers of unstructured data associated with a monitored parameter of the plurality of parameters.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the server is configured to receive a request from a user for a status of the apparatus.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the server is configured to receive a request from a user for a status of the apparatus, and in response to receiving the request, transmit over the network to the apparatus, a request for status of at least one parameter of the plurality of parameters.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the server is configured to receive and analyze the transmitted message.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the server is further configured to report the analysis to a user.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the server is further configured to automatically cause a reboot of the apparatus based on the analysis.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the server is configured to cause the at least one respective microservice to reset.

11. A method, comprising:

receiving clinical messages from infusion pumps over a first communication channel of a network within a clinical environment;

transmitting at least a portion of operational software updates, drug library updates, or both over a second communication channel of the network to one or more infusion pumps;

monitoring a plurality of parameters associated with one or more microservices that monitor functionality associated with operation of an apparatus, each parameter associated with a respective microservice;

determining that at least one parameter exceeds a threshold;

determining that messages transmitted to a server within a first time period exclude an indication that the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold;

formatting a message including an indication that the at least one parameter exceeds the threshold; and

transmitting the formatted message server over the first communication channel of the network to the server and reset at least one respective microservice associated with the at least one parameter.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the plurality of parameters includes at least one of a queue size, latency, memory size, disk space, an indication of a number of connected devices, or CPU time.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein each microservice of the one or more microservices is configured to create containers of unstructured data associated with a monitored parameter of the plurality of parameters.

14. The method of claim 11 wherein the server is configured to receive a request from a user for a status of the apparatus.

15. The method of claim 11 wherein the server is configured to receive a request from a user for a status of the apparatus, and in response to receiving the request, transmit over the network to the apparatus, a request for status of at least one parameter of the plurality of parameters.

16. The method of claim 11 wherein the server is configured to receive and analyze the transmitted message.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein the server is further configured to report the analysis to a user.

18. The method of claim 16 wherein the server is further configured to automatically cause a reboot of the apparatus based on the analysis.

19. The method of claim 16 wherein the server is configured to cause the at least one respective microservice to reset.

20. The method of claim 11 wherein the apparatus is configured to cause the at least one respective microservice to reset.
