Modular Simulator Building Blocks: Physiologic Signaling Requirements
Bryan P. Bergeron · Studies in health technology and informatics · 2014
Embedded microcontroller hardware has matured to the point that organ- and system-specific modules that can be assembled in various configurations are practical. Our work developing and interconnecting organ and system modules in the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems illustrates the signaling requirements necessary to fully leverage the technology. It also highlights the need for standard signaling protocols that parallel those under development for software-centric physiology simulation systems.
