Developing an Intelligent Medical Device Management Platform
A medical-device and instrument vendor needed additional development capacity for an intelligent medical-device management platform.
Client context
A medical-device vendor investing in its own brands
The client is a medical-device and instrument vendor with experience in the medical-equipment industry. It has invested significant resources in developing its own line of medical-equipment brands.
Its product development is focused on equipment that addresses the needs of healthcare providers and patients. Software development forms part of that wider product effort.
The challenge
A development-team shortage had become a bottleneck
The company identified a talent shortage in its development team. This shortage had become a major bottleneck as it continued to develop its medical-equipment products.
The project therefore combined a medical-device software requirement with a need for development capacity. The case centres on an intelligent platform for managing medical devices.
Project focus
Intelligent medical-device management
The IoT project focuses on the development of an intelligent medical-device management platform for the vendor. Its context is the client’s own medical-equipment portfolio and the development constraints affecting that work.
The central business need is to address the software-development bottleneck behind the platform while keeping the vendor’s medical-device product requirements in focus.
