METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MAXIMIZING OPHTHALMIC MEDICAL DEVICE UPTIME VIA PREDICTIVE HEALTH MONITORING AND PROACTIVE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for predicting a likelihood of future failure of components in an ophthalmic medical device and performing preventative maintenance on the ophthalmic medical device. An example method generally includes receiving, from an ophthalmic medical device, measurements of one or more operational parameters associated with the ophthalmic medical device. Using one or more models, a future failure of the ophthalmic medical is predicted. The predictions are generated based, at least in part, on the received measurements of the one or more operational parameters. One or more actions are taken to perform preventative maintenance on the ophthalmic medical device based on the predicted future failure of the ophthalmic medical device.
