Medical Device Software Development

The new generation of healthcare startups and companies offers innovative, portable, and convenient medical devices for a variety of healthcare situations and needs. The concept of “Software as a Medical Device” (SaMD) is unveiling huge opportunities in creating advanced applications for existing or prototype medical devices.

The Evolution of Medical Devices

When imagining a typical medical device, most people think of cumbersome, complex equipment with mind-boggling settings and wires, primarily usable within hospital walls. For many years, anything smaller or less complicated was seen as unreliable and not worth the attention of serious healthcare professionals.

However, progress in electronics and IT has revolutionized healthcare equipment, making devices smaller, more portable, and easier to manage. Modern medical devices are now efficient and reliable enough for use beyond clinical settings, including patients’ homes.

The Shocking Truth About Legacy Operating Systems

A recent study revealed that about 83% of medical IoT devices in the United States are driven by obsolete or unsupported software systems, leaving 98% of sensitive medical data traffic exposed or inefficiently encrypted. Upgrading or modernizing outdated healthcare applications is urgent. If you need re-engineering and rebuilding of your medical equipment operating systems, contact us for a solution!

Who Are We?

Who May Need Software Development for Medical Devices?

Medtech software development is sought after by various companies, including:

• Medical Device Manufacturers: Need software solutions to enhance their products.
• Healthcare Institutions and Hospitals: Require custom software for patient care, diagnostics, or monitoring.
• Biotechnology Companies: Focus on enhancing medical device functionality through software.
• Telehealth Service Providers: Facilitate remote patient monitoring and consultations.
• Pharmaceutical Companies: Require software for drug delivery systems or clinical trials.
• Healthtech Startups: Innovative companies needing software for new medical devices.
• Research and Development Labs: Developing new healthcare solutions.
• Regulatory Compliance Consultants: Ensuring industry compliance through software.
• Diagnostic Equipment Manufacturers: Enhance device functionality with software solutions.

Embedded Medical Systems and Software Development

This domain includes low-level programming of micro-components like microcontrollers and embedded memory, found in devices such as:

• Pulse oximeters
• Electronic defibrillators
• Smart biosensors
• Automated infusion pumps
• Glucometers
• Medical imaging equipment (X-ray, ECG, EEG, MRI, CT)

Programming Languages: .NET, Node.js, and JavaScript, as well as mobile development with Flutter, and React-Native, we also excel in UI/UX design and QA.

Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)

SaMD systems run on non-specific medical platforms and perform functions related to:

• Medical data visualization
• Medical data processing and interpretation
• Medical data management and storage

Examples of SaMD:

• Patient Imaging or Scan Analysis: Identifies patterns and supports diagnosis.
• Sound Monitoring for Sleep Apnea: Detects interrupted breathing and triggers alarms.
• Remote ECG Monitoring: Observes cardiac patients and records heartbeat patterns.
• Medical Data-Viewing Applications: Helps professionals access and interpret health data.

How to Build Custom Medical Device Software

Steps:

1. Define the Technological Stack: Determine if it’s an embedded/SaMD project or mixed.
2. Fulfill FDA Requirements: Ensure compliance with HIPAA and other standards.
3. Assemble a Team: Hire developers capable of embedded and/or conventional software development.
4. Design Specifications: Create detailed software/device system specifications.
5. Project Management: Break down the project into phases and tasks.
6. Assign Specialists: Engage UI/UX designers, back-end/front-end developers, QA specialists.
7. Consult Medical Professionals: Ensure end-user interests are represented.
