The Use of Agile Software Development Practices in a Regulated Health IT Environment

Processes for developing software for use in medical devices or for regulated health IT applications like 'Mobile Medical Device Applications' or 'Medical Device Data Systems" are often perceived as 'not compatible with current agile software development methodologies. This is often because an agile manifesto core value of: "Working software over comprehensive documentation" seems to conflict with old school 'waterfall' process definitions that seem to form the basis of many regulations.

This webinar will provide introductory information dispelling that myth and provide some case study information to help your teams remain 'agile' but able to pass regulatory scrutiny where required.
