Conference Archives: November 2004 Planning Meeting | June 2005 Workshop
The rapidly increasing software complexity of medical devices makes the development of high integrity software a crucial issue. Several Federal agencies are interested in identifying the research needs required to improve the design, certification, and operation (by both health care professionals and consumers) of medical device software and systems that will result in better and more cost-effective medical care.
The November 2004 planning meeting assembled a select group of leaders and visionaries in the medical device industry, research laboratories, academia, and government who helped identify short-term and long-term technological challenges faced by medical device manufacturers and regulators.
Information gathered from this planning meeting is being used to establish the full scope and agenda for a larger national-level research workshop slated for June 2005. The objective of the workshop will be to identify and discuss potential approaches that can help answer the challenges.
