Types of medical device software

Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)

Standalone software that performs medical functions without being a part of hardware medical devices.

Regulatory oversight
  • US (FDA): Class I, II, or III based on SaMD risk level
  • EU (MDR): Class I, IIa, IIb, or III based on Rule 11 and other applicable rules
Target devices SaMD operates on
  • Consumer electronics: smartphones or tablets
  • Computing devices: PCs, laptops, or edge-computing devices
  • Connected devices: smartwatches, wearables, or fitness trackers
  • Smart home systems: TVs, smart speakers, and other IoT devices
Real-life SaMD examples
  • Medical image analysis app detecting radiological abnormalities (US II/EU IIb)
  • Chronic disease management app delivering CBT for depression management (US II/EU IIa)
  • Remote patient monitoring solution tracking vitals, analyzing them, and sending alerts (US II/EU IIa)
  • Clinical decision support tool analyzing patient data and suggesting treatment protocols (US II/EU IIb)
Software in a Medical Device (SiMD)

Embedded software that controls medical device operation, processes device data, or enables the hardware to perform the device’s medical purpose.

Regulatory oversight
  • US (FDA): SiMD is regulated according to the classification of the parent medical device (Class I, II, or III)
  • EU (MDR): SiMD is regulated as part of the device under applicable MDR rules
Target devices for SiMD
  • Class I devices (low-risk): basic ward monitoring interfaces, in-built medical device data systems (MDDS), etc.
  • Class II devices (medium-risk): infusion pump controllers, diagnostic imaging systems, non-invasive ventilators, etc.
  • Class III devices (high-risk): implantable cardiac devices, brain-computer interfaces, automated drug delivery systems, etc.
Real-life SiMD examples
  • Cardiac rhythm management software for implantable pacemakers that detects arrhythmias (US III/EU III)
  • Medical image processing system for MRI machine that turns raw scan data into diagnostic quality images (US II/EU IIb)
  • Lung ventilation algorithms for ICU ventilators to control respiratory support parameters (US II/EU IIb)

FAQ

How do you ensure the security and privacy of patient data?

We understand well the sensitive nature of patient data, and that’s why we implement security into every layer of the software. Our team introduces end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, access controls, and real-time threat detection into healthcare software. Every step of the way, we stay aligned with FDA, MDR, EMA, HIPAA, and GDPR requirements to ensure data stays protected.

What is the typical timeline for developing a medical device software solution?

There’s no definitive answer to this question, as timelines can vary depending on complexity. Typically, it takes around 6–12 months from the project's inception to the submission-ready MVP, but if you need a more accurate timeline estimate for your software, just send oss en melding.

Can the software integrate with existing healthcare IT systems and devices?

Absolutely. Innowise designs medical device software with interoperability in mind, supporting HL7, FHIR, and DICOM healthcare standards. Whether you need to connect SaMD with an EHR system or a wearable device, we ensure seamless data exchange and smooth app operation.

Will the medical device software be scalable to adapt to future growth?

Yes, scalability is built in from day one. We use modular, cloud-ready architectures that can grow along with your needs. If, later on, you decide to add new features or will experience an influx of new users, you won’t need to rework your app from scratch, thanks to a thoughtful approach to medical device software architecture.

What is the cost of medical device software development, and what is included in the pricing?

SaMD and SiMD costs entirely depend on the complexity of the features, required integrations with other IT systems, wearables, medical devices, relevant compliance requirements, and many other factors. If you need an estimate of your project costs, just kontakt oss, and we will provide you with a calculation based on your project requirements.
