Motivation
In order to enable context-aware behavior of surgical assistance systems, the acquisition of various information about the current intraoperative situation is crucial. To achieve this, the complex task of situation recognition can be delegated to a specialized system. Consequently, a standardized interface is required for the seamless transfer of the recognized contextual information to the assistance systems, enabling them to adapt accordingly.
Methods
Our group analyzed four medical interface standards to determine their suitability for exchanging intraoperative contextual information. The assessment was based on a harmonized data and service model derived from the requirements of expected context-aware use cases. The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and IEEE 11073 for Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) were identified as the most appropriate standards.
Results
We specified how DICOM Unified Procedure Steps (UPS), can be used to effectively communicate contextual information. We proposed the inclusion of attributes to formalize different granularity levels of the surgical workflow.
Conclusions
DICOM UPS SOP classes can be used for the exchange of intraoperative contextual information between a situation recognition system and surgical assistance systems. This can pave the way for vendor-independent context awareness in the OR, leading to targeted assistance of the surgical team and an improvement of the surgical workflow.
In today’s education, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors, organizations and information societies are discussing new enhancements to corporate structure and process efficiency using digital platforms. These enhancements can be achieved using digital tools. Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 give several potentials for businesses to enhance the adaptability and efficacy of their industrial processes, paving the door for developing new business models facilitated by digital platforms. Society 5.0 can contribute to a super-intelligent society that includes the healthcare industry. In the past decade, the Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics, Neural Networks, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have revolutionized our approach to various job sectors, from manufacturing and finance to consumer products. AI is developing quickly and efficiently. We have heard of the latest artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT. OpenAI created this, which has taken the internet by storm. We tested the effectiveness of a considerable language model referred to as ChatGPT on four critical questions concerning “Society 5.0”, “Healthcare 5.0”, “Industry,” and “Future Education” from the perspectives of Age 5.0.
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die Darstellung und Charakterisierung einheitlicher, mesoporöser Silica-Partikel (MPSM) im Mikrometerbereich mit maßgeschneiderten Partikel- und Porendesign für die Hochleistungsflüssigkeitschromatographie. Die Synthese umfasst die Einlagerung von Silica-Nanopartikeln (SNP) in poröse organische Template, welche anschließend bei 600°C zersetzt werden. Die Impfsuspensionspolymerisation von Polystyrol-Partikeln, unter Verwendung von Glycidylmethacrylat, Ethylenglycoldimethacrylat und Porogenen, ermöglicht die Herstellung hochgradig einheitlicher, poröser p(GMA-co-EDMA)-Template. Der Einfluss wesentlicher Faktoren, einschließlich des Monomer-Porogen-Verhältnisses, des Monomerverhältnisses und der Porogenzusammensetzung, werden systematisch untersucht sowie ihre Auswirkungen auf die Porengröße, das Porenvolumen und die spezifische Oberfläche erläutert. Die Anbindung aminofunktionalisierter Substanzen erfolgt durch die Ringöffnung der Epoxidgruppe. Im anschließenden basischen Sol-Gel-Prozess werden die Silica-Nanopartikel aufgrund der Ladungsunterschiede in die funktionalisierten p(GMA-co-EDMA)-Template eingebaut. Die Partikelgröße der SNP beeinflusst wesentlich die Poreneigenschaften der MPSM und hängt von drei Faktoren ab: (i) der Wachstumsgeschwindigkeit in der kontinuierlichen Phase, die durch die Einstellungen des Sol-Gel-Prozesses gesteuert wird, (ii) der Diffusionsrate, die durch elektrostatische Anziehung reguliert wird und vom Grad der Funktionalisierung abhängt und (iii) der Porosität des Polymer-Templats. Die gezielte Anpassung der Poreneigenschaften durch die Prozesseinstellungen erlaubt die präzise Herstellung von MPSM, die auf spezifische Trennherausforderungen zugeschnitten werden und somit die Qualität der HPLC verbessern. Die vorgestellte Synthesestrategie ermöglicht, aufgrund des stufenweisen molekularen Aufbaus, eine bessere Adaption der stationären Phase an spezifische Trennherausforderungen.
Acting like a startup - using corporate startup structures to manage the digital transformation
(2023)
Digital transformation is proving to be a significant challenge for firms and companies when it comes to maintaining their market position. It is evident that many companies are struggling to find their particular way through this transformation. A corporate startup structure is one way to find a suitable solution quickly. Therefore, we are presenting a model for corporate startup activities, which we will instantiate in an appropriate tool to support the management of corporate startups by their parent firms. We have derived the first requirements and design principles from a comprehensive problem analysis and literature study. In addition to this,we are presenting a first artifact, which should realize the design principles by implementing a practical tool. Forming a cooperation with an automotive firm has enabled us to gain access to real-world data for the design and evaluation of the artifact.
Enterprises and societies currently face essential challenges, and digital transformation can contribute to their resolution. Enterprise architecture (EA) is useful for promoting digital transformation in global companies and information societies covering ecosystem partners. The advancement of new business models can be promoted with digital platforms and architectures for Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. Therefore, products from the sector of healthcare, manufacturing and energy, etc. can increase in value. The adaptive integrated digital architecture framework (AIDAF) for Industry 4.0 and the design thinking approach is expected to promote and implement the digital platforms and digital products for healthcare, manufacturing and energy communities more efficiently. In this paper, we propose various cases of digital transformation where digital platforms and products are designed and evaluated for digital IT, digital manufacturing and digital healthcare with Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. The vision of AIDAF applications to perform digital transformation in global companies is explained and referenced, extended toward the digitalized ecosystems such as Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0.
Context
In a world of high dynamics and uncertainties, it is almost impossible to have a long-term prediction of which products, services, or features will satisfy the needs of the customer. To counter this situation, the conduction of Continuous Improvement or Design Thinking for product discovery are common approaches. A major constraint in conducting product discovery activities is the high effort to discover and validate features and requirements. In addition, companies struggle to integrate product discovery activities into their agile processes and iterations.
Objective
This paper aims at suggests a supportive tool, the “Discovery Effort Worthiness (DEW) Index”, for product owners and agile teams to determine a suitable amount of effort that should be spent on Design Thinking activities. To operationalize DEW, proposals for practitioners are presented that can be used to integrate product discovery into product development and delivery.
Method
A case study was conducted for the development of the DEW index. In addition, we conducted an expert workshop to develop proposals for the integration of product discovery activities into the product development and delivery process.
Results
First, we present the "Discovery Effort Worthiness Index" in form of a formula. Second, we identified requirements that must be fulfilled for systematic integration of product discovery activities into product development and delivery. Third, we derived from the requirements proposals for the integration of product discovery activities with a company's product development and delivery.
Conclusion
The developed "Discovery Effort Worthiness Index" provides a tool for companies and their product owners to determine how much effort they should spend on Design Thinking methods to discover and validate requirements. Integrating product discovery with product development and delivery should ensure that the results of product discovery are incorporated into product development. This aims to systematically analyze product risks to increase the chance of product success.
Current advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with other digitalization efforts are changing the role of technology in service ecosystems. Human-centered intelligent systems and services are the target of many current digitalization efforts and part of a massive digital transformation based on digital technologies. Artificial intelligence, in particular, is having a powerful impact on new opportunities for shared value creation and the development of smart service ecosystems. Motivated by experiences and observations from digitalization projects, this paper presents new methodological experiences from academia and practice on a joint view of digital strategy and architecture of intelligent service ecosystems and explores the impact of digitalization based on real case study results. Digital enterprise architecture models serve as an integral representation of business, information, and technology perspectives of intelligent service-based enterprise systems to support management and development. This paper focuses on the novel aspect of closely aligned digital strategy and architecture models for intelligent service ecosystems and highlights the fundamental business mechanism of AI-based value creation, the corresponding digital architecture, and management models. We present key strategy-oriented architecture model perspectives for intelligent systems.
