Medical Tuesday, Session Recordings & Highlights

The session focuses on requirements engineering, software and hardware architecture, simulation, automated testing, continuous quality monitoring, as well as verification, validation, and compliance readiness. Swift Act presents a practical reference project of a syringe pump to show what modern medical device development can look like — from early prototyping to final system integration.

In this session, experts from Siemens Healthineers and Vector walk you through a real world project based on the Atellica lab automation platform. Using a concrete subsystem example, you’ll learn how system level virtualization and automated testing can dramatically reduce hardware dependency, accelerate development, and improve overall product quality.

Gain a practical introduction to CANopen and its role in modern medical device communication. Learn how CANopen nodes, object dictionaries, and EDS files structure device functionality, and explore how SDO and PDO communication enable configuration and real-time data exchange. The session also covers network management concepts and relevant CiA specifications, supported by live demonstrations and real-world use cases to illustrate how CANopen can support reliable and scalable medical system architectures.

Learn how environment simulation, digital twins, and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing support efficient medical device development. Discover how early system-level testing reduces hardware dependency, enables fault injection, allows reuse of test cases across SIL and HIL, and helps shorten time-to-market while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

Discover practical strategies for managing legacy code in medical device software. Learn how to ensure IEC 62304 compliance, improve code quality, and accelerate development using automated testing, technical debt analysis, and data intelligence tools.
