Webinar Topic:

The use of multicore systems is exploding across a number of industries as they offer greater processing speed without increasing the real estate required for the hardware. Unfortunately, programming and software solutions present challenges to design engineers, especially when discussing medical devices, where the necessary safety assurances and regulatory compliance can generate even greater obstacles to success. Device makers need to carefully balance the implementation of this advanced technology with the necessary safety and regulatory protocols to meet the demands of both the FDA and their healthcare provider customers.

Join MDT and a panel of leading experts for this Q&A session as they examine the use of multicore technology in advanced medical devices. The discussion will also include the safety concerns device makers have regarding successful implementation in their products. Those companies already working with multicore technology in medical devices, as well as those seeking to explore this area for upcoming projects, will find the discussion content extremely valuable to their future endeavors.
