The use of software in medical devices or of software as a medical device offers many new possibilities for more precise diagnoses and more efficient therapies. For example, it is much easier to link data for a diagnosis or to implement new treatment and diagnostic procedures. Software that is designed for this purpose is also subject to the analogous regulatory requirements and standards that apply, for example, to ventilators or implants. However, software is particularly difficult to classify within this regulatory framework and is often a matter of interpretation. Often it comes down to the so-called intended purpose.
This certificate program introduces you to the world of regulatory terminology and explains why the intended purpose is of fundamental importance from the outset for anyone developing software in connection with the diagnosis or treatment of diseases. And why proper classification is as important as the product idea itself. In our online course to become a Medical Software Specialist, you will gain the knowledge you need to navigate this complex environment step by step. This includes sound knowledge of the relevant laws, standards and regulations, as well as how the software lifecycle is integrated into the quality management and risk management systems.
The developers of software for or as medical devices are ultimately more than just software developers. They create software products that, in addition to a clinically proven benefit for patients, must not pose an unacceptable risk. Therefore, they must fulfill all legal requirements for medical devices. Manufacturers of software for or as medical devices therefore need specialists who have sound technical knowledge as well as regulatory and clinical expertise. These specialists are very much in demand! The medical device market is one of the most innovative and fastest growing markets of the last years.
