Basic course: Development of software for medical devices

This seminar will be held in English.

The development of standalone software such as mobile medical applications but also the integration of software as a component in medical devices means a complex challenge for many medical device manufacturers in the intersection of technology, regulations and clinical evidence.

In this seminar, you will gain an overview of the regulatory framework and familiarize yourself with the specifics of placing medical software on the market. The requirements for classification and conformity assessment procedures of medical software in the most important markets will be shown to you in a practical manner and using current examples.

You will learn about all phases of the product lifecycle of medical software, starting with development, through initial marketing, to software maintenance (i.e. updates and bug fixes). We will show you what is important when placing products on the market in the most important markets and how you can integrate the required processes into your quality management system in a meaningful way.
