Reference Architecture Model in Medicine: A Case of DNA Mircoarray Diagnosis as a Primary Lesson

Reference Architecture Model in Industry 4.0 (RAMI4.0) aims to map existing standards, identify lack or overlap of standards, and clarify the relationships among standards. In the medical field, technology standards and regulations for one product or medical treatment consist of complex combinations and cause difficulties in understanding current settings and finding the opportunities to form new technology standards or regulations. The Reference Architecture Model in medicine would be a useful tool to solve this type of issue. This study evaluates parameters of RAMI4.0 using DNA microarray diagnosis as a case based on existing regulations and technology standards and examines the possibilities of a Medical RAMI.
