Patient Monitoring & Wearables
From consumer wrist to clinical evidence, ultra-low-power and ready for regulated use.
Wearables and remote monitoring platforms have crossed from fitness trackers into clinical-grade systems capturing cardiac rhythm, oxygen, temperature, and motion, built on ultra-low-power MCUs like TI MSP430, Renesas RL78/RA, STM32L, and RISC-V cores.
IAR enables secure, ultra-efficient wearable development with optimizing compilers, Power Debugging with I-jet, and TÜV SÜD-certified IEC 62304 toolchains, delivering up to 20–30% smaller code size.
Implantable & Life-Support Devices
Where deterministic execution is the difference between therapy and harm.
Pacemakers, infusion pumps, ventilators, and neurostimulators demand microsecond-precision control, EMC, and ultra-reliable execution across service lives measured in years, not release cycles. They are built on Renesas RX/RL78, STM32, TI MSP430, and Arm cores under IEC 62304 Class C.
IAR delivers TÜV SÜD-certified toolchains up to Class C, deterministic compilers, and advanced debugging, generating up to 30% faster code so devices race to idle, extending battery life across 10–15 year lifecycles.
Diagnostic Imaging & Laboratory Automation
High-performance compute meets clinical data integrity.
CT, MRI, ultrasound, and X-ray systems rely on high-performance processors for signal acquisition, image reconstruction, and real-time control. Lab automation analyzers, sequencers, and robotic sample handlers demand precise motion and data integrity, typically on Arm, RISC-V, and Renesas RX/RZ platforms.
IAR delivers high-performance compilers, multi-core debugging, real-time trace, and certified analysis, cutting debug effort by up to 80% on complex imaging and motion workloads.
Surgical Robotics & Assistive Technologies
AI-driven precision, with safety interlocks you can actually certify.
Robotic surgery and computer-assisted platforms combine high-performance processors with precision motor control, sensor fusion, and AI-driven vision, coordinating multi-axis motion and enforcing safety interlocks across heterogeneous compute (Arm, RISC-V, Renesas RZ, AI accelerators) under IEC 62304 Class C.
IAR's functional safety editions deliver optimized code, multi-core debugging, and certified analysis, cutting defect-related cost by up to 25% and accelerating safety-qualified product introduction.
Telemedicine & Connected Hospital Equipment
Connected care, without the cybersecurity compromise.
Hospitals deploy more networked devices than ever for monitoring, drug delivery, surgical support, and asset tracking, while telemedicine moves clinical data between patient homes, cloud, and clinicians, with every endpoint under MDR/IVDR, IEC 62304, IEC 81001-5-1, and CRA scrutiny.
IAR enables connected device development with architecture-agnostic tooling and CI/CD-ready build tools, cutting build times by up to 50%.

Don't let compliance slow your next release
Learn how to escape end-of-cycle compliance scrambles and turn IEC 62304, FDA, and CRA pressure into faster releases, stronger security, and continuous audit-ready evidence.
SHIFT-LEFT COMPLIANCE WITH CODE QUALITY AND CERTIFIED ANALYSIS
Static and Runtime Analysis Embedded in the Developer's Workflow, Not at the End of the Cycle
Most compliance delays happen when verification arrives too late. Shift-left embeds risk management and validation into the developer's environment, making verification a continuous activity rather than an end-of-cycle scramble.
IAR C-STAT enforces MISRA C/C++, CERT, and CWE rules at build time, while IAR C-RUN catches bounds, overflow, and heap errors before verification. Both produce auditor-ready artifacts mapped to IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 activities.
DEVSECOPS FOR REGULATED MEDICAL SOFTWARE
Reproducible CI/CD Pipelines Built for IEC 62304, FDA, and CRA Evidence
Fragmented tools and workflows across embedded, cloud, and quality teams compound as medical software grows more connected and more regulated. Unified DevSecOps-ready pipelines make every change traceable and every build reproducible.
IAR Build Tools support headless, containerized CI/CD across Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, and Kubernetes. Combined with IAR C-STAT and C-RUN, teams generate audit-ready evidence as part of every build, supporting IEC 62304, FDA, and CRA expectations.

LONG-TERM RELIABILITY FOR DECADE-LONG MEDICAL DEVICE LIFECYCLES
Toolchain Support That Outlasts the Product, Not Just the Release Cycle
Medical devices routinely stay in the field for 10–15 years, long after the original release cycle that shipped them has ended. A toolchain that can't be reproduced exactly, or stops receiving support after a few years, turns every field investigation, recertification, or patch into a scramble to reconstruct an environment nobody kept.
IAR's Long-Term Support (LTS) Services and version-locked, containerized IAR Build Tools mean the binary that passed verification is the one that ships, and the one you can rebuild identically years later. The same toolchain that shipped your product stays supported for the life of the product, not just until the next major release.

Faster development, smaller code, longer battery life for smart medical platforms
Osong Medical Innovation Foundation (KBIO) develops advanced medical devices and smart healthcare platforms. By adopting IAR Embedded Workbench, the team reduced executable code size, enabling device miniaturization, and used Power Debugging with the I-jet probe to optimize current consumption for wearables. Build times are at least twice as fast as alternatives, and the foundation is upgrading to IAR's functional safety edition for future certification needs.

Read CaseIAR's Solutions Are TÜV SÜD Certified
As embedded systems grow more complex, functional safety becomes crucial, especially in industries like MedTech where compliance is mandatory.
IAR's functional safety editions are TÜV SÜD-certified, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for developing safety-critical applications. By choosing IAR as your development platform, you eliminate the need to independently evaluate the tool’s development process or conduct your own compliance testing. TÜV SÜD has already handled this, saving you both time and costs, so you can focus on your code and application features.
