About the Course

In this class, we present a broad overview of the field of medical software. You will learn from Yale professors and a series of industry experts who connect the course concepts to their real world applications. We begin by discussing medical device regulatory structures, data privacy and cybersecurity regulations, and key support technologies such quality management systems and risk management. We then take a detailed look at the medical software life cycle, starting with identifying user needs, mapping these to system requirements and then the process of software design, coding, testing and validation. We continue by exploring issues related to the use of machine learning techniques in medical applications from both a software engineering and a regulatory perspective. We conclude with a discussion of the business and management issues in this area focusing on the impact on digital health on modern healthcare and issues related to starting new ventures. This is a class aimed at either third- or fourth-year undergraduates in computer science, biomedical engineering, and related fields, and to junior software engineers currently either working in, or interested in moving to, the medical device industry....

In my case it has been enriching.

I think it gives a complete view and starting point if you have little or no information about Medical Software. It is a good starting point and 100% recommended.

Overall a very comprehensive introduction. Well structured and lots of reading material (not good was that some of the reading material had to be purchased). Prof. Papademetris talks very fast and subtitles really need to be edited. There were so many mistakes e.g. sexual device instead of surgical device, it was better to just rewind the passages that you did not understand until you did.

This program has given me an in-depth understanding of the regulatory environment around medical software worldwide and the practical process of designing, developing, and deploying such software in real-world scenarios. I'm thrilled to apply this knowledge to my future work in the medical technology industry.

Excellent information delivered clearly and professionally by an amazing professor. Really enjoyed learning the material. The one "ask" is for a way to buy the book they keep showing! It is not yet available and I think many people, including me, would love to get a copy of it!
