Phased validation process for assessing safety and reliability of medical syber-physical systems.Goals
The objective of this research is the development of a framework for assessing the reliability and safety of robotic surgery systems, including its hardware and software, during development, field testing, and general deployment. The framework will use accurate simulations to assess pre-clinical reliability before deployment. After deployment, the framework will use data collection through online monitoring of the system as it is being used in the field, followed by analysis to obtain assessments of operational reliability and safety. The framework also aims to support post-market surveillance of these systems for reassessing reliability and safety after system maintenance.
