Practical: How to succeed in Software Validation for Medical Devices?

Bill Stamm and Rafael Blanco from General Digital Software Services are helping us to have a better understanding of Software Validation. This topic is critical for Medical Device Manufacturers as the Healthcare world start to get digital. More digital products that contain software, more software on the manufacturing side, more software to verify software. I mean, software is everywhere. The new EU MDR is strengthening the requirements for Software and we need the experts to help. Bill and Rafael are specialized in this and they are the right SMEs to tell us exactly which mistake to avoid. I will also ask them about artificial intelligence as this is a kind of software that is more complicated. They also asked me to share with you some documents like the V-shape which describe the software validation process. Don’t hesitate to download it in the resource section.
