We are now applying this expertise from various industries specifically to medical technology. Our strength is our holistic approach. We offer customized solutions that cover the entire life cycle of a project and take into account all aspects of software development and integration.
Familiar with the specific requirements of medical technology, we transfer secure, proven and powerful concepts to the industry. These are always adapted to the specific needs of our customers and can be called upon in every phase of the digitalization process.
Medical technology
Our main topics
We are convinced that the following topics represent the greatest opportunities and challenges in medical technology today. Whether it's effective data management and future-oriented strategies, secure and customized connection to medical databases, cyber resilience and security standards or the use of digital twins and AI in medical devices - we support you in fully exploiting your innovation potential. Of course, we are also at your side in all other areas to jointly develop sustainable, digital solutions for medical technology.
Data management and strategy for medical technology
Sophisticated and efficient data management is the key to innovation, safety and efficiency in medical technology. M&M Software offers you exactly the support you need to manage your data effectively and successfully shape your digital transformation.
Efficient data management not only creates the basis for sustainable innovation, but also enables centralized documentation and seamless traceability - essential factors in medical technology. Our tailor-made workshops provide you with the tools to analyze your current data infrastructure, define concrete goals and identify use cases that meet the specific requirements of the industry.
Our expertise lies in precisely evaluating data sources and technologies and offering you an optimal strategy for setting up a future-proof data architecture. In doing so, we focus on aspects such as data governance, cyber security and regulatory compliance, which are particularly important in medical technology. Together, we create the basis for a digital infrastructure that remains flexible for future developments.
From planning to implementation, we support you with a clear roadmap. Our experts are at your side to ensure that your data management not only complies with current standards, but is also optimally designed to meet the dynamic requirements of medical technology.
Customized connection to medical databases
The timeliness and accuracy of product data are key factors in medical technology, as they have a significant impact on safety and regulatory compliance. M&M Software develops customized solutions for you that link your data intelligently and automatically with important medical databases such as Eudamed, Swissmedic and the FDA. This keeps your product information up-to-date and compliant with applicable regulatory requirements - a crucial step in minimizing risk and ensuring compliance.
Our approach is based on automation, which significantly reduces the manual effort required for data maintenance and minimizes sources of error. This leads to centralized and structured management of all relevant data, which not only brings efficiency gains, but also better availability and traceability in terms of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). Such solutions help companies to position their products on the market in a safe and legally compliant manner and to react quickly to regulatory changes.
Security and cyber resilience for medical technology
Cybercriminal attacks are constantly on the rise due to the advancing digitalization and networking in medical technology. M&M Software develops customized security solutions that are specifically tailored to the requirements of your industry. For example, it is essential to protect medical devices from cyber attacks in order to prevent negative consequences for the health of patients and the surrounding IT infrastructure. In workshops, we teach your team not only the basics of software security, but also the current requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the NIS2 directive.
We carry out precise gap analyses to uncover and close potential vulnerabilities in your software development process. Of course, we also apply all norms, standards and processes for cybersecurity in joint projects so that you are always on the safe side with your solutions. This enables you to take proactive measures to make your systems more resistant to cyber attacks.
We also help with the implementation of PSIRT (Product Security Incident Response Team) processes so that you can react quickly and efficiently in the event of a security incident. Our solutions not only help you meet compliance requirements, but also strengthen your customers' confidence in the security of your products and services.
With M&M Software at your side, you not only ensure the protection of your sensitive data, but also safeguard the quality and integrity of your medical technology products in the long term.
Digital twin for medical devices
With a digital twin, we create a virtual image of your medical devices that opens up a wide range of optimization options. This digital model accompanies your devices throughout their entire life cycle and provides valuable insights and improvements.
An application example: Manufacturers can use the digital twin to understand how often and under what conditions a device is used. For example, a digital twin of an X-ray machine could document the number and frequency of scans and record parameters such as the average exposure time or the selected image resolutions. This information helps to optimize the design and user-friendliness of future generations of devices based on actual user behaviour.
In addition to device optimization, manufacturers can develop targeted training courses that are geared towards common usage errors or undesirable habits. This increases efficiency and safety for the user and at the same time supports customer loyalty. In a further step, the information and possibilities of the digital twin can be used to develop new business models that give you a competitive advantage. These could be additional services such as feature on demand or operator models.
Another example is the use of the digital twin for maintenance strategies: Data that the twin collects on the actual use and load of a device makes predictive maintenance possible. For example, a portable diagnostic device that is frequently used in clinics can be continuously monitored to provide early indications of wear and tear or the need for repairs. This significantly reduces downtimes and ensures the long-term usability of the device.
By introducing a digital twin, you create a solid basis for optimized user-friendliness, greater device safety and an extended service life for your medical devices - all based on precise, data-supported analyses.
AI in medical technology
The development of AI-based tools opens up numerous opportunities for optimization and increased efficiency in medical technology. Whether for product development, quality assurance or market approval - AI can be used in a targeted manner to meet the high demands of the industry. Medical technology companies are faced with complex regulatory requirements, including the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), the ISO 14971 standard and soon the AI Act, which require extensive documentation, risk analyses and certifications.
The use of AI can help to optimize processes in a targeted manner. For example, personalizable solutions could be used to speed up the market approval of new products. In addition, the use of AI could make existing quality checks more efficient and document them, as AI automatically detects and reports potential errors or deviations. The tool can also provide valuable insights in market analysis and product placement based on a combination of historical market data and real-time analyses.
Such a personalized AI approach therefore offers strong, strategic support that reduces development effort and increases compliance security in a highly regulated market.
The past has shown us that repetitive and routine work is eliminated, but at the same time more value-adding activities are created. Applied to the use of AI in the medical technology sector, topics such as MDR tasks, documentation, preparation of certifications and market surveillance are particularly interesting for this optimization potential. A great deal of human intelligence is required for this today, which could be used in other value-adding areas.
