Medical Software Engineering

Medical technology requires software development

Medical Software Engineering represents the structured, safe, and standards-compliant development of software for medical devices and systems. It goes far beyond ensuring basic functionality: in the medical technology sector, safety, reliability, and adherence to regulatory requirements are paramount.

Particularly for medical devices, expectations for risk management, documentation, and traceability are exceptionally high. Standards such as IEC 62304 (software life-cycle processes) and ISO 14971 (risk management) form the foundation of a professional and auditable development process.

Software embedded in medical devices must demonstrably be stable and safe—because in critical situations, human health and lives are at stake. Robust Medical Software Engineering is therefore a decisive factor for successful market approval, regulatory compliance, and long-term product accountability.

Reliable software development relies on structured processes

As specialists in Medical Software Engineering, we support manufacturers, from the initial concept for their system, all the way to series production

Requirements Analysis

We define IEC 62304-compliant software requirements, support creation of the functional specification, and ensure full traceability.

Architecture & Design

We develop modular, maintainable architectures tailored to embedded systems, PC applications, or cloud-based solutions.

Implementation

We develop software in C, C++, C#, Python, and Java, combining modern engineering practices with strict quality and regulatory standards while following clean code and agile principles.

Verification & Validation

Our testing strategy covers modules, integrations, and full systems, complemented. Reviews, traceability and coverage are integral parts of our approach.

Documentation & Approval

We deliver comprehensive technical documentation and support regulatory audits and submissions.

Agile Development

Even in the structured world of medical software development, documentation, and testing, we work agile. From day one, we ensure transparency, clear development progress, and immediate stakeholder feedback — following Act, Inspect, Adapt to drive continuous project success.

 Our Approach: Structured, Safe and Efficient

Technology Stack

Our projects are built on proven technologies, including:

  • C/C++ for medical device software
  • .NET / C# / Angular / WPF / Qt for graphical user interfaces
  • Python / Java / Node.js for backend components and data analysis
  • Docker / Azure / AWS for scalable cloud solutions
  • Git / Polarion / Jenkins for version control, CI/CD, and ALM

MDR (EU 2017/745)

Our software development for medical devices meets the strictest safety and quality standards, fully aligned with MDR (EU 2017/754) requirements.

IEC 62304

IEC 62304 is the international standard for medical device software life-cycle processes, ensuring that every stage of development from design to deployment is structured, safe, and fully compliant.

ISO 14971

ISO 14971 is a standard that provides guidelines for risk management of medical devices. It includes requirements for managing cybersecurity risks in medical devices.

EN 62366-1:2021

EN 62366-1:2021 is the international standard for usability in medical devices, guiding the design of user-friendly software that minimizes errors and enhances patient safety.

ISO 13485

ISO 13485 is the global standard for quality management in medical technology, guiding us in developing software that is safe, compliant, and reliable.

IEC 81001-5-1

IEC 81001-5-1 builds on IEC 62304 to ensure robust cybersecurity in medical device software, safeguarding connected health technologies and protecting patient data.
