MedTech - Medical Tuesday
What is Medical Tuesday?
Medical Tuesday is a free, monthly online format for professionals seeking practical, real-world insights into medical software development and regulation. Each 60-minute session brings together industry experts and practitioners to discuss current challenges, share hands-on experience, and foster open exchange through live discussion and Q&A.
Please note: Medical Tuesday will be on holiday during the summer months. The next sessions are expected to begin starting August 25.

May 2026: Swift Act: Developing Reliable Systems Within a Modern Test and Simulation Ecosystem
How can the development of a syringe pump be implemented efficiently, systematically, and in a regulatory-ready way? In this session, Swift Act used a practical reference project to show what modern medical device development can look like — from early prototyping to final system integration.

April/May 2026: Siemens Healthineers: Improving Test Efficiency by Hardware Abstraction in Lab Automation Systems
How do you reliably test highly complex lab automation systems when hardware is scarce, failures are rare, and reproducibility is critical?
Using a concrete subsystem example of the Atellica lab automation platform, experts from Siemens Healthineers and Vector show how system level virtualization and automated testing can dramatically reduce hardware dependency, accelerate development, and improve overall product quality.

March 2026: Mastering CANopen in MedTech: From Seamless Implementation to Full-System Simulation
Kai Jansen introduced CANopen and its role in modern medical device communication from CANopen nodes, to object dictionaries, EDS files structure device functionality, to network management concepts and relevant CiA specifications.

February 2026 Session: Strategies for Efficient Medical Device Development
Dr. Manuel Hüpfel presented how environment simulation, digital twins, and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing support efficient medical device development.
