Why Qt for Medical Software Development?

 

Ultimate Performance and Reliability

Qt gives you full native performance and total system control. Integration into peripherals or existing patient backend systems is easy. For certifying your medical system, you’ll have all required testing documentation along with Qt source code. Our extensive Qt Partner ecosystem is there for you the whole way.

Modern and Customizable UX

Create a modern interface that not only impresses your end-users, but gives them a natural and self-guided user experience, in all environments, be it home or hospital. Visualize your health data or integrate live camera and video streams without compromising performance and reliability.

Shorter Time-to-Market, Really!

We realize the development cycle of medical devices is typically very long and requires significant investment. With Qt you can reach your market faster. Qt development tools give you lean and incremental development workflows with features that help you ensure the quality of your product from day one.

Qt Meets Certification Standards

In order to help medical device manufacturers satisfy their IEC 62304 requirements, as well as their FDA, EU, or other global certification efforts, The Qt Company provides documentation and transparency into its development process, product performance, and internal validation and testing.
