OVERVIEW

Software shaped around how medical device software really works.

Medical devices increasingly depend on software: companion apps that guide patients, cloud platforms that store readings, clinician portals that turn data into decisions, and standalone Software as a Medical Device. That software sits inside a regulated product, so it has to be dependable on every supported phone, secure against modern threats and documented well enough to stand up to an auditor, a notified body or the FDA.

As a medical device software development company, we build BLE companion apps, device connectivity layers, cloud data platforms, clinician dashboards and SaMD components for device manufacturers and healthtech companies. We work inside your quality management system, following an IEC 62304-aligned lifecycle with requirements traceability, risk controls linked to ISO 14971 analysis, and verification evidence produced as part of every sprint.

Connectivity is where many device programmes slip. We engineer pairing, reconnection, background sync and firmware update flows across iOS and Android versions, using Bluetooth LE health profiles where devices support them. Data flows through AWS IoT or Azure IoT Hub into platforms that integrate with Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner) and other EHRs through HL7 v2 and FHIR R4, with 21 CFR Part 11 controls where electronic records require them.

Cybersecurity and regulatory documentation are designed in, not assembled at the end. We support FDA SaMD and premarket cybersecurity expectations, EU MDR technical documentation, IEC 81001-5-1 secure lifecycle practices and ISO 13485 records, alongside HIPAA, GDPR and regional data rules. Your regulatory team stays responsible for classification and submissions, and we give them the evidence they need.

CHALLENGES WE SOLVE

What holds medical device software teams back.

The problems we most often help medical device software organisations solve, and design every engagement around.

  1. 01

    Regulatory expectations

    Software must be planned, traceable, verified and documented to a standard that supports FDA, EU MDR and other submissions, not reconstructed after development.

  2. 02

    Reliable device connectivity

    Bluetooth behaviour varies across phone models, OS versions and power-saving modes, and dropped connections can mean lost or duplicated clinical readings.

  3. 03

    Cybersecurity scrutiny

    Regulators now expect threat models, SBOMs, vulnerability management and secure update mechanisms as part of the device submission and post-market plan.

  4. 04

    Secure data handling

    Device data needs protection from sensor to clinical use, with integrity checks, access control and audit trails at every step of the pipeline.

  5. 05

    Change after clearance

    OS updates, new phones and feature requests keep arriving after launch, and each change needs impact analysis and evidence without stalling the roadmap.

TRENDS

Trends shaping medical device software software right now.

The shifts we design for so a product launched this year is still the right product in three.

  1. 01

    Cybersecurity as a submission requirement

    Regulators expect threat models, SBOMs and vulnerability management plans in premarket submissions, making secure lifecycle practices mandatory.

  2. 02

    Connected devices and remote monitoring

    Devices increasingly feed remote patient monitoring programmes, so companion apps and cloud platforms carry more clinical responsibility.

  3. 03

    AI-enabled device software

    Machine learning features in devices bring new expectations around data management, performance monitoring and planned model changes.

  4. 04

    Harmonised quality systems

    FDA's Quality Management System Regulation now aligns US requirements with ISO 13485, simplifying quality processes for manufacturers selling in several markets.

  5. 05

    Phone-as-platform devices

    More therapies rely on the patient's own smartphone, which makes OS compatibility monitoring and rapid validated updates a core capability.

COST AND TIMELINE

How much does medical device software software development cost?

There is no honest single number. Scope, integrations and compliance drive the budget, so we price against a written scope after discovery. The factors below are what move it.

  1. 01

    Software safety class

    Higher IEC 62304 safety classes require more detailed design, verification and documentation.

  2. 02

    Number of apps and platforms

    Companion app, clinician portal, cloud platform and manufacturer console each add design, build and verification.

  3. 03

    Device connectivity complexity

    Custom BLE protocols, multiple devices and OTA updates add engineering and compatibility testing effort.

  4. 04

    Regulatory markets

    FDA, EU MDR and other markets add documentation and evidence specific to each submission.

  5. 05

    Cybersecurity scope

    Threat modelling, SBOMs, penetration testing and vulnerability management are sized by device risk and connectivity.

  6. 06

    Integrations

    EHR, cloud IoT, eQMS and partner systems each add mapping, sandbox access and verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about medical device software software projects. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

Ask our medical device software team

It depends on the software safety class, the number of apps and platforms, device connectivity complexity, the regulatory markets you are targeting, cybersecurity scope and integrations. A feasibility MVP is a much smaller investment than a multi-market device platform. After discovery we provide a fixed-scope proposal with a clear breakdown.

A validation MVP with a companion app or prototype SaMD typically takes 10 to 14 weeks. A production platform with companion app, clinician portal, cloud and full verification evidence usually takes four to seven months. Multi-device or multi-market programmes are delivered in phases over eight to fourteen months.

Yes. We work within your quality management system following an IEC 62304-aligned lifecycle, link software risk controls to your ISO 14971 analysis, support ISO 13485 records and provide requirements traceability, verification evidence and release documentation for FDA, EU MDR and other submissions.

Yes. We route device data through AWS IoT or Azure IoT Hub into platforms that integrate with Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner) and other EHRs using HL7 v2 or FHIR R4, with Mirth Connect or HAPI FHIR where an integration layer is needed.

App development usually refers to the companion mobile app that pairs with a device. Medical device software development covers the full system: embedded interfaces, apps, cloud platform, clinician tools, cybersecurity and the lifecycle documentation regulators expect. We deliver both, within one traceable process.

Yes, in partnership with your regulatory team, who remain responsible for classification and submissions. We follow FDA SaMD guidance and EU MDR expectations for software, and deliver the plans, traceability, risk controls and verification evidence your technical file needs.

Yes. We build BLE companion apps for iOS and Android with careful handling of pairing, bonding, reconnection, background behaviour and data integrity, tested across a defined device and OS matrix, and using Bluetooth LE health profiles where your device supports them.

We threat-model the system, produce SBOMs, sign firmware and app updates, encrypt data from device to cloud and run penetration tests before release. After launch we monitor vulnerabilities and support a disclosure process, in line with FDA premarket cybersecurity expectations and IEC 81001-5-1.
