Efficiently Create Intuitive Medical Software with Ready-Made Components
Reduce time-to-market by accessing and customizing production-proven components and functions already in use across a variety of medical devices and regulated industries.
Qt provides easy access to a large set of ready-to-use libraries and customizable primitive UI app constructs, including control elements, menus, encryption protocols, secure storage, and DICOM view support, allowing MedTech companies to launch products faster and benefit from built-in long-term support. They also gain speed to meet market demands, clarity in development, and confidence that the medical software is safe and compliant.
Qt Group has a strong production history in the medical technology 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. Notably, 90% of the top global MedTech companies build their products with Qt, highlighting the sector's trust in Qt for critical healthcare decision-making and patient care.
Verify and Validate Your Medical Software 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.
Clinical lab equipment is used by a range of professionals, from experienced technicians to novices with limited training. An effective medical UI (User Interface) should thus be intuitive, enabling users to navigate complex workflows easily. Healthcare IT systems cater to a diverse audience, including healthcare providers and patients, each with varying technical skills. Patient-facing UIs, like portals and telehealth apps, must be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Moreover, as healthcare increasingly transitions to home settings and device misuse rises, regulatory bodies stress the importance of intuitive usability and comprehensive human factor testing in medical device UX design.
Qt Group provides a wide range of products to improve early testing and usability through quick prototypes, real-time user behavior tracking, and automated UI 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), and compliance with coding guidelines (Axivion).
Meet the Highest Medical Certification Standards
Uphold the highest safety and reliability standards in medical software development by meeting the criteria set by notified bodies.
Whether you’re developing FDA or EU Class II–III medical devices—such as surgical robots, infusion pumps, patient monitoring systems, or medical imaging applications—or solutions for clinical lab equipment and Healthcare IT systems, Qt helps you balance innovation with compliance. 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.
Qt Group offers support for global regulatory clearances and certifications, which help improve audit accuracy with consistent information. This is especially relevant for clinical lab equipment that must adhere to regulations such as those from the FDA (U.S.), CE marking (EU), and ISO 13485 standards, which include specific user interface design requirements.
Secure Your Medical Software Against Cyber Threats
Transform your medtech solution into a smart, connected Internet of Medical Things system that is operable from home, clinic, or lab, with secure connectivity and protection against cybersecurity risks.
Qt simplifies the delivery of a smartphone-like user experience with intuitive navigation, clear visuals, and safe interactions. To comply with standards such as IEC 62304, HIPAA (U.S.), GDPR (EU), HL7, and FHIR, and to address risks from software of unknown provenance (SOUP), Qt's security-critical code undergoes regular reviews, testing, and documentation. This process adheres to cybersecurity best practices, including mandatory code reviews, merit-based inspections, continuous integration, and timely 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.
Qt QA tools and third-party assessments, such as penetration testing, help detect vulnerabilities early. Additionally, tools like Qt Application Manager isolate applications and bind them to specific hardware, reducing the risk of external interference and data leakage, and ensuring system integrity across devices, labs, and clinical settings. The tool gives developers full control of applications in the stack to protect sensitive patient data in medtech environments.
