Abstract. Medical device interoperability enables new therapy methods and the automation of existing ones. Due to different medical device manufacturers and protocols, we need auxiliary hardware and software for the interconnection. In this paper, we propose a service-oriented software architecture built on a real-time operating system in order to create a modular medical cyber-physical system consisting of networked embedded nodes. In particular, we highlight the need for the application of formal methods to ensure the functional safety of the system.
