Course description
Creating safe and secure, user friendly health apps and medical device software
Are you aware of the methodologies available to identify and manage risk associated with your software? Is your software product compliant with the recent usability and effectiveness guidelines laid out in the Medical Device Regulation (MDR)?
Health software qualifying as a medical device must comply with the general safety and performance requirements (GSPR) pertaining to safety and security. In addition, under the MDR, developers must demonstrate compliance with development guidelines (such as IEC 62304 & IEC62366) ensuring user-friendly and effective devices. Using practical examples, this 6-module course teaches you bes tpractices to apply EU safety and security regulations ensuring your device is fully compliant. You will also learn various testing and evaluation strategies outlined in the MDR to create apps and software that meet usability and effectiveness requirements.
If you are involved in the development of health software, or responsible for regulatory or developmental control, then this course details everything you need to know to ensure you are compliant with the evolving MDR.
