Human-centered medical device development

Contrary to what many believe, this is not about cosmetics, about creating beautiful interfaces or sleek contemporary designs. It is about focusing on the core question: How do I build the product that it serves its purpose effectively and efficiently, yet still inspires and delights? Learn in our whitepaper what activities you should consider in the human-centered development process and how to engage real users right from the start.

RUST – the next evolution in embedded software development

Not only the software complexity but also the validation processes become more complex. New solutions are needed to achieve efficiency as well as the necessary quality. One possible answer to this can be the use of a programming language like Rust. Learn in our whitepaper why Rust has the great potential to become the language of modern software development.

State-of-the-art software development in medical engineering

In software development, the path to a successful software release is generally anything but linear.  Runtime errors and security gaps detected too late but also obsolete tools and methods can become showstoppers. The whitepaper provides an overview of the most important ingredients for modern software development in medical technology.
