Embedded systems have long since been introduced into medical technology. For obvious reasons, particularly high requirements prevail in terms of functional safety and attack protection in the area medical electronics, and this presents special challenges for developers.
Devices that directly or indirectly influence health or which may be the difference between life and death have to work properly as and when required. For that reason, the relevant standards require proof that the proper functioning of the software is being constantly monitored by specific safety mechanisms.
Digitization is achieving increased recognition in the medical field and paving the way for new types of application. Components with networking options are required on the one hand, while on the other hand, protection against data theft and attacks from the outside is needed. Safety & security are becoming central topics.
