Idea: Bass et al., 2021

Context

The system monitors patients several health and vitality parameters (e.g. heartbeat frequency and amplitude, blood flow in coronary artery etc).

Trigger

A sensor in the patient monitoring system fails to report a life-critical value after 100 ms.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Failure is logged
  • Warning light is illuminated on the console
  • Backup (lower-fidelity) sensor is engaged
  • System monitors patient using backup sensor after no more than 300 ms
