Abstract :
Medical devices are ubiquitous in modern health care and proper device management is integral to patient safety. An important aspect of the safety and effectiveness of consumer healthcare devices is the reliability and performance assessment. Canaries are devices that act as precursors to failure; monitoring failure mechanism development as a function of changes within other parameters. This paper provides a methodological review on utilizing canaries for pre-emptive degradation detection within a wireless network that will be deployed to capture data for device failure prognostics.
