Medical device manufacturers are faced with challenges to bring innovative products to market quickly while meeting functional, safety and regulatory requirements. Discovering a defect late in development or even worse, one that forces a product recall can be devastating to a medical device manufacturer. During this podcast, Paul Urban, Senior Medical Device Marketing Manager from IBM, discusses how using model driven development helps to accelerate the development, validation and verification of medical devices by assisting in team collaboration through graphical modeling, validating requirements through rapid prototyping, and automating the software development and test process.
