Software and safety certification are vital in medical equipment designs, and new ways of developing systems are emerging to speed up innovation
The world of medical electronics is shifting fundamentally. Equipment designs have traditionally lasted two decades, with years of heritage and testing behind each one. Now more innovation is demanded, with new features and new versions being developed much faster, based on digital systems. More focus is being put on cost-effective implementation so more units can be deployed across more hospitals and surgeries.
To develop this next generation of safety-critical medical and industrial device, designers and system architects must consolidate hardware, reduce cost, and reduce time-to-market while never compromising their platform’s stability, safety, and security.
Read our Multicore Is Key to Innovation in Medical Applications white paper to learn what medical system designers require to meet today’s challenges: a combination of multicore hardware, operating systems specialized for device certification, hypervisor software, and a consolidated but open development toolchain.

Web Seminar: How to Leverage Off-the-Shelf Hardware and Software for Next-Generation Medical Devices
June 2, 2010
11:00 A.M. PDT / 2:00 P.M. EDT
Medical device developers can no longer afford to write unique and custom applications or design and build custom hardware for each new project. Leveraging off-the-shelf hardware and software platforms that provide the graphics, networking, device connectivity, operating system, and hardware support required for modern devices can achieve great savings.
On-Demand Web Seminar: Multicore and Safety in Medical Device Applications
Join MDT and a panel of leading experts from Intel, Esterel Technologies, Eurotech, and Wind River for this Q&A session as they examine the use of multicore technology in advanced medical devices. The discussion will also include the safety concerns device makers have regarding successful implementation in their products.
On-Demand Web Seminar: Optimizing Safety-Critical Software Development in Medical Devices
Although the formal classifications of medical devices differ among the United States, Europe, Canada, and others, one thing is clear: Current methodologies of software development for safety-critical or life-critical applications are still error prone, take too long, and are extremely expensive to develop, test, and deploy.
