Introduction to the development of software for medical devices

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

This in-house seminar provides your employees with an overview of the regulatory framework and familiarizes them with the specific aspects of placing medical software on the market. Practical and up-to-date examples illustrate the classification and conformity assessment requirements for medical software in the most important markets.

Employees will learn about all phases of the product lifecycle of medical software – from development and initial market placement to software maintenance (including updates and bug fixes). We explain what is important when placing software on the market in key regions and how the required processes can be effectively integrated into the quality management system.
