Increase Medical Device Productivity, Quality, and Efficiency with Platform Engineering

As the need to integrate more and more advanced functionality within digital devices increases, software complexity is increasing accordingly. Medical Device developers require better connectivity to the cloud, sensors, and machine-to-machine to keep pace with the growing demands for process automation and remote operability. Listed by Gartner as one of the Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends of 2024*, Platform Engineering has emerged as a way for medical device manufacturers to simplify software development. By leveraging standardization, reusability, and self-service capabilities to increase developer productivity, it can reduce security concerns, and guarantee quality and consistency across products and teams’ workflows. In 2024, Qt Group commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct market research in order to understand the benefits, maturity, and challenges of platform engineering in the embedded software space.
