Medical Device Control Prototyping and Testing

Helping medical personnel perform better, safer, and more efficient treatments

Smart medical devices, personalized care, and data-driven healthcare are transforming the healthcare industry and introducing new opportunities to diagnose and treat diseases.

Fast and reliable development cycles supported by prototyping and validation tools ensure reliability, traceability, and scalability. Ventilators, defibrillators, magnetic resonance equipment, and robotic surgery machines combine advanced multi-domain physical components and require error-proof, certified control software.

Model-Based Design and real-time testing solutions let you reduce time to market to deliver new products to medical personnel, allowing patients to benefit from the latest technology. Learn more about MATLAB^® and Simulink^® tools for medical devices.

"For us Speedgoat offers a perfect combination of performance, customizability, modularity, a reasonable price point, integration with MATLAB & Simulink, and excellent support."

Automated Verification and Validation with Hardware-in-the-Loop

Verifying and validating the controller of complex electro-mechanical-fluidic systems such as surgical robots and hemodialyzers is one of the most critical parts of the development cycle. You need to ensure that the embedded computer performs correctly without damaging your equipment or injuring patients and medical staff.

Multi-domain physical systems—including electrical, electromagnetic, mechanical, liquid, hydraulic, gas, and thermal components—can be designed with Simscape™ multi-domain models and executed in real-time target machines. Automated tests can be performed with Simulink^® Test™, allowing for the definition of test cases, requirements, and tolerances.

Prototypes for Clinical Trials

After the initial development and testing phase, you need to produce your diagnostic or therapeutic devices, and deliver them to medical personnel and scientists for clinical trials, to collect and analyze biomedical data for future product enhancements easily.

Instead of porting your algorithms to a new embedded device—introducing new challenges plus research and development costs—use real-time target machines as effective prototypes and small-scale production units.

You and your medical partners benefit from real-time testing capabilities to continuously improve and adapt control software and parameters based on new requirements, different physical characteristics, and the conditions of your patients.
