Medical Application Deployment via Remote Server Transformation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The deployment of medical applications in medical facilities is inefficient and costly due to the need to comply with diverse local, country-wide, and global regulations, making conventional deployment mechanisms impractical and inflexible.
Innovation Solution
A remote server system that determines the deployment configuration of a target destination and transforms medical applications accordingly, enabling deployment through platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), or local server deployment, while ensuring compliance with local regulations by adjusting storage and database access via abstraction layers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If medical application is deployed at a global data center to achieve flexibility and scalability, then deployment flexibility is improved, but compliance with local regulations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the deployment architecture into multiple levels (global data center, country-specific data centers, and local facility deployment) to simultaneously achieve flexibility and compliance. Each segment handles different aspects of the deployment, allowing the system to adapt to local regulations while maintaining global scalability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of deployment configuration by allowing the same medical application to be deployed across multiple geographic and organizational dimensions (global, national, and local levels). This multi-dimensional approach enables the system to satisfy both flexibility requirements and local regulatory constraints.
2Reliability
If medical application is deployed at a country-specific data center to comply with local regulations, then regulation compliance is improved, but deployment flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the deployment system universal by designing it to function across multiple deployment configurations (global, country-specific, and local). The same medical application can be universally deployed to different types of destinations with different regulatory requirements, maintaining both compliance and flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic configuration capabilities that allow the deployment architecture to adapt its structure based on the specific requirements of each destination. The system can dynamically select and switch between different deployment modes (PaaS, IaaS, local server) to optimize both compliance and flexibility for each specific case.
3Reliability
If medical application is deployed locally at each medical facility to ensure compliance, then regulation compliance is improved, but deployment cost deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the advantages of local deployment (compliance) with the benefits of centralized deployment (cost efficiency) by combining multiple deployment configurations into a unified system. Local facility deployment is merged with country-specific and global data center capabilities, allowing cost-effective deployment while maintaining compliance through selective local presence.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the deployment parameters by introducing configurable deployment modes (PaaS, IaaS, local server) that allow optimization of the cost-compliance tradeoff. By adjusting deployment parameters based on specific facility requirements, the system achieves compliance where necessary while reducing costs through shared infrastructure where appropriate.
4Reliability
If medical application is deployed locally at each medical facility to ensure compliance, then regulation compliance is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces intermediary components (abstraction layers for storage and database access) that mediate between the medical application and the underlying infrastructure. These intermediaries simplify the deployment complexity by providing standardized interfaces that work across different deployment configurations, reducing the burden on both vendors and facilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying mechanisms to replicate the medical application across multiple deployment destinations with different configurations. Instead of creating entirely separate deployment systems for each facility, the system creates configured copies of the same application, maintaining consistency while adapting to local requirements and reducing overall complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
According to one example embodiment, a remote server includes a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions, and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the computer-readable instructions for installing a medical application at a target destination by determining a deployment configuration of the target destination, determining whether to transform the medical application prior to installing the medical application at the target destination based on the determined deployment configuration of the target destination, and deploying at least one of the medical application or a transformed version of the medical application to the target destination.
