Efficiently Create Intuitive Healthcare Applications with Ready-Made Components

Reduce the time-to-market of your medical software, by accessing and customizing production-proven components and functions already in use across a variety of medical devices and regulated industries.

With Qt, you readily get access to a large set of libraries and customizable primitive UI app constructs—among which control elements, menus, but also encryption protocols, secure storage, DICOM view support,  among other things—allowing you to shorten time-to-market and inherit out-of-the-box long-term support.

Qt has a strong production history in the medical sector with millions of medical devices built with Qt currently on the market that have passed Class I, Class II and Class III FDA certification and Class I, Class IIa, IIb, and III EU certification. 90% of the top Global MedTech companies build their products with Qt.

Verify and Validate Your Medical Device Usability from the Earliest Development Stages

Efficiently drive early clinical and human-factor testing with an integrated design-develop-test workflow enabling rapid error detection and quick iterations.

Given the trending shift from hospitalization to home care and the frequent incidents caused by medical device misuse, regulatory bodies insist on the importance of intuitive usability and human factor testing. In addition to the possibility of sharing fully functional prototype applications across teams over the web for UI/UX verification (Qt Design Studio), the Qt product family includes automated QA tooling for early verification of the software functions (Squish), code coverage (Coco), compliance with coding guidelines (Axivion). With Qt Insight, you can validate your product’s functionality to gain direct insights into your application’s actual usage for an out-of-the-box post-market surveillance solution.

Meet the Highest Medical Certification Standards

Efficiently create intuitive medical software applications that meet the highest safety and reliability industry standards and comply with the requirements set by notified bodies.

Whether you are developing FDA or EU Class II or Class III products such as surgical robots, infusion pumps, patient monitoring systems, or medical imaging applications, Qt provides the technology to build precise, robust, and reliable systems. Qt is ISO 9001:2015 certified with an established Quality Management System. The Qt Safe Renderer  is certified to both IEC 62304 - Medical Device Software, Software Lifecycle Processes, and IEC 61508 - Functional Safety of Electrical/Electronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems.

Secure Your Medical Software Against Cyber Threats

Transform your healthcare device into a smart device, connected to the Internet of Things, for full operability from home and anywhere in complete security without vulnerability risks.

Qt lets you easily port the familiar smartphone-like user experience to your medical software, to ensure straightforward usage, effortless navigation, and intuitive meaning in the palm of your hand. To help medical device manufacturers satisfy their IEC 62304 requirements and mitigate the risks associated with using software of unknown provenance (SOUP), Qt security-critical code is regularly reviewed, tested, and documented according to cybersecurity industry best practices, including mandatory code reviews, merit-based inspection, continuous integration, and security updates. Being maintained for years with security updates, patches, and a stable roadmap, Qt long-term releases secure your product’s permanence on the market over time.

Almex

Built with Qt

Established in 1966 in Japan, Almex specializes in developing and selling various advanced products and services.


“We have developed many systems over the past 50 years, and in the process, we are using different programming languages within the company. This led to a need for optimal allocation of human resources. To improve efficiency, it was necessary to modernize the development environment. That is why we decided to utilize Qt for UI/UX development for Mynatouch and gradually unify our programming languages.”


Susumu Inoue

Almex Managing Executive Officer and CTO, R&D Division, and Project Leader for Mynatouch
