The principal task of the VMD app, therefore, is to find the medical
devices in a VMD instance (which may be quite large), establish network
connections between them, and install the clinical algorithm into the
supervisor module of the middleware for managing the interactions of the
clinical workflow and the reasoning about the data produced.

Evolution of the field: software as the main driver of new features, device
interconnection, closed loops that automatically adjust to physiological
response, and a new focus on continuous monitoring and care.
Industry 4.0 in Mechanical Engineering
- Following the general trend in the field of embedded systems, and more
broadly in cyber-physical systems, introduction of new functionality is
largely driven by the new possibilities that software-based development of
medical device systems is offering.
- A prime example of the new functionality is seen in the area of robotic
surgery, which requires real-time processing of high-resolution images
and haptic feedback.

- Due to the high costs associated with in-hospital care, there has been
increasing interest in alternatives such as home care, assisted living,
telemedicine, and sport-activity monitoring. Mobile monitoring and
home monitoring of vital signs and physical activities allow health to be
assessed remotely at all times.
