Ensuring Quality and Innovation in Connected Care Solutions

• The need for connected care solutions powered by smart medical devices is vital for both hospital staff and patients.
• Manufacturers aim to:
  1. Provide personalized and convenient care;
  2. Develop intelligent software systems.

• Challenges in achieving success with connected care devices include:
  1. Ensuring software releases resolve quality issues such as bugs and cybersecurity vulnerabilities;
  2. Providing traces to requirements and testing to prove compliance with standards and norms;
  3. Creating innovative interfaces and applications to improve user experience and safeguard against misuse.

• To ensure the release of user-friendly software for medical devices:
  1. Shape products with error-proofing and a cybersecurity framework while enabling connectivity and interoperability.
  * This helps achieve regulatory safety certifications faster and guarantees solid privacy data management for patients.
  2. Monitor development steps to provide traces from requirements to testing using complete application lifecycle management tools.
  * This enhances product quality, traceability, and team coordination.
  3. Help software developers create innovative solutions and intuitive applications to make devices smarter.
• Benefits include an optimal design environment for connected care software development, bringing devices to their highest potential of performance and safety.
