Embodiment Construction

[0124] An exemplary embodiment of a network according to the invention for performing at least one medical function is shown in a highly schematic manner in FIG. 1 . The network 110 includes a plurality of network nodes 112 that are in communication links with each other directly or indirectly and unidirectionally (arrows of a single head ) otherwise a two-way (double-headed arrow) connection. This communication is achieved in part by means of a body area network 114 designated by BAN in FIG. Nodes 112 communicate with each other, for example by means of electrical signals exchanged through the user's body. For this purpose, the network node 112 may have corresponding electrodes, for example, which may directly or indirectly couple such electrical signals into the body, or couple them out of the body. Furthermore, however, instead of or in addition to the network node 112 of the body area network 114, the network 110 may comprise Network nodes 112 that communicate with othe...

Abstract

A method for setting up a medical network (110) for carrying out at least one medical function is proposed. The medical network (110) comprises at least two network nodes (112): the network nodes (112) are set up for communicating with one another. The method comprises at least the following steps: - at least one initialization step, wherein at least two network nodes (112) exchange at least one item of initialization information in the initialization step, wherein the initialization information comprises at least one item of information characterizing the network nodes (112); - at least one self-organization step, wherein the network nodes (112) define a role distribution of the network nodes (112); - at least one work step, wherein the network (110) carries out the at least one medical function in the work step, wherein at least two of the network nodes (112) interact in accordance with the role distribution defined in the self-organization step.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for setting up a medical network for performing at least one medical function and to a medical network. In particular, this type of medical network is used in the context of ad hoc close proximity communication systems. [0002] For example, this type of network may be used to care for patients with chronic diseases and / or high-risk patients, the bodily functions of multiple of whom must be monitored and / or affected simultaneously. However, other fields of use are also conceivable. Background technique [0003] In both the clinical sector and private healthcare, there is in many cases a need for systems and networks capable of monitoring the complex interplay of individual bodily functions of a patient and, if appropriate, affecting them in a targeted manner. This may relate, for example, to the care of patients with chronic diseases such as diabetics. High-risk patients, such as high-risk patients known to be at in...
