Medical Electronics Design regularly produces Webcasts on a wide variety of topics important to medical device professionals. Register below for upcoming webcasts.
One of the most active areas in the research and practice of modern systems development is in the identification and reification of design patterns. A design pattern is a generalized solution to a commonly recurring problem. Although a number of books, as well as active newsgroups and websites, are available on the topic, little information is available for design patterns specific to the real-time embedded systems world and especially for safety-critical design. This presentation, taught by the author of "Real-Time Design Patterns: Robust Scalable Architectures for Real-Time Systems" discusses architectural design patterns specific to safety-critical systems.

This FREE webinar discusses the evolution of medical devices from custom made software and hardware with relatively crude interfaces to becoming modern devices leveraging off the shelf software with sophisticated user interfaces with audio and video capabilities. Many medical devices require sophisticated user interfaces for practitioners and patients. Medical device developers can no longer afford to write unique and custom application with device interfaces, UI and audio video capabilities for each new project.
Leveraging off-the-shelf hardware and software platforms that provide the graphics, networking, device connectivity, operating system and hardware support required for modern devices, can have great savings.
This webcast will feature live presentations by industry experts with extensive experience in software and hardware for medical devices. Panelists for the Webcast include: Bill Graham, Product Marketing Manager of VxWorks, Wind River; Mike Taborn, Platform Architect, Medical Segment, Intel; and, Matthias Huber, Director of Medical, Kontron.
