Medical Device Software ScienceSoft Delivers

Software for medical devices

Target medical devices (including wearable and implanted devices):

  • Class II devices – medium-risk medical devices (CT scanners, wearable glucose monitors, blood pressure monitors, wearable ECG sensors, etc.).
  • Class III devices – high-risk medical devices (pacemakers, cardioverter-defibrillators, deep-brain stimulators, etc.).

Sample use cases:

  • Remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases (e.g., COPD, diabetes, cardiovascular, neurological conditions).
  • Remote patient care delivery via smart therapeutic devices (e.g., insulin pens, smart inhalers).
  • Early disease diagnostics using medical devices or sensors, data analytics, AI/ML.
  • Medication intake monitoring (using smart pill bottles, etc.).
  • Hospital conditions monitoring and adjusting.

Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)

Target devices:

  • Smartphones, tablets.
  • PCs, laptops.
  • Smartwatches and wearable fitness trackers.
  • Smart TV.

Sample use cases:

  • AI-based disease treatment and patient care planning.
  • ML-based drug prescription recommendation system for doctors.
  • Drug dosage calculation.
  • Medical image viewing (DICOM viewer).
  • Disease diagnosing via image recognition (e.g., for stroke type identification, brain tumor localization).
  • Direct disease management (e.g., sleep apnea episodes identification, sound therapy for tinnitus patients, reminiscence therapy for patients with Alzheimer’s disease).

Most Requested Modules for Medical Device Software

Mobile app

On-the-go access to medical device software or SaMD data to ease the work of healthcare professionals or the disease management for the patients.

Advanced analytics

Using AI and ML, the medical device software uses data from connected devices to identify patient trends and predict the course of the disease, detect hazardous symptoms at an early stage, assess medication efficiency, etc.

Cloud platform

Cloud-connected devices (e.g., glucose monitors, pacemakers, smart inhalers) transmit patient vitals, diagnostics and treatment data to the cloud platform for further analytics. Moreover, cloud platform enables management of the connected devices (e.g., device failures identification, configuration of device parameters).

IoT-based medical device tracking

IoT-based medical device trackingomplex medical devices and equipment are tracked to locate the assets, ensure proper device disinfection and sanitation, decrease device search time, and provide remote maintenance.

Real-time health monitoring

To automate the hospital workflows and motivate patients to manage their own health, the medical device software collects, stores, and analyzes patient health information (e.g., blood glucose level, sleep data).

Should You Consider Cloud-Based Integration for Your Medical Device Software?

Along with effectively enabling communication of medical devices with healthcare software, implementation of data analytics, and predictive device maintenance, cloud integration is highly secure. Cloud providers (AWS, Microsoft Azure) comply with HIPAA requirements and guarantee security of stored PHI.

To further enhance the safety, ScienceSoft ensures data anonymization and encryption as well as conducts regular vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.
