Abstract

Abstract The Medical Technology Advisory Committee of the VDI Society develops a guideline for the implementation of digital process chains for patient-specific medical devices. The underlying medical device constitutes the basis for each individualized medical device. It serves as the development framework for manufacturing.

Highlights

  • As part of digitization, customers are increasingly being involved in designing their desired product

  • Health workers cooperate with manufacturers to develop innovative, patient-specific medical devices

  • The requirements for digital process chains of standardized products in medical technology are described in the quality management [1] and software systems [2] standards

Summary

Introduction

Customers are increasingly being involved in designing their desired product. Customers can configure their chosen vehicle, plan their own kitchen or design an individual T-shirt. Health workers cooperate with manufacturers to develop innovative, patient-specific medical devices. For patient-specific medical devices, healthcare professionals are involved, via online services, in the design of patient matched and custom-made products. The requirements for digital process chains of standardized products in medical technology are described in the quality management [1] and software systems [2] standards. Requirements from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [3] must be observed. From the point of view of quality management, the development of digital processes must be attached to the development file
