The Medical industry is highly regulated with standards to manage risk and ensure quality and safety of equipment and thereby provide the highest level of patient safety.
Medical Device development teams are faced with increased software complexity today when developing high quality devices.
AgileMed, the conference dedicated to Agility in Medical Device Development, was a great platform to introduce codeBeamer Medical ALM.
codeBeamer Medical ALM is a customized template for IEC 62304 compliance which is required for medical device development.
