Abstract
A method and a system for optimizing the energy consumption of a medical apparatus comprising a medical instrument, and a further energy consumer are disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: providing treatment plan information, which predetermines a temporal sequence for using the medical instrument, providing interaction information, which predetermines an interaction between the use of the medical instrument and the further energy consumer, providing control information for actuating the further energy consumer on the basis of the treatment plan information and the interaction information.
Claims17
A method for optimizing the energy consumption of a medical facility, comprising a medical device and another energy consumer, where the method comprises the following steps:
- supplying treatment planning information specifying a chronological sequence for use of the medical device,
- supplying interaction information specifying an interaction between the use of the medical device and the additional energy consumer,
- supplying control information for controlling the additional energy consumer on the basis of the treatment planning information and the interaction information.
A system for optimizing the energy consumption of a medical facility with a medical machine and an additional energy consumer wherein the system comprises the following:
- a clinical information system for supplying treatment information specifying a chronological sequence for use of the medical machine,
- a database for supplying interaction information, specifying an interaction between the use of the medical machine and the additional energy consumer, as well as a processing unit that is connected to the clinical information system and to the database and is adapted to supply control information for activating the additional energy consumer on the basis of the treatment planning information and the interaction information.
