Dojo Five invites you to their event

Medical Development is Broken: How Modern Firmware Practices Transform Productivity Challenges into Competitive Advantages

About this event

Software powering embedded and IoT devices must run reliably for years in the field. Yet many teams still rely on manual builds, inconsistent toolchains, and ad-hoc testing, which can lead to costly recalls, delayed launches, security vulnerabilities, and damaged reputations.

Whereas traditional development methodologies can be restrictive—and even a liability—for such companies, modern embedded development workflows based on Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) principles:

  • Automate processes and documentation
  • Reduce potential for human error
  • Bring agility to bug fixes and feature additions
  • Streamline audits and compliance

Register for the “Medical Development is Broken” webinar where Joe Schneider, CEO and Founder of firmware development organization Dojo Five, and Shawn Prestridge, US Field Applications Engineering Manager at IAR Systems, will explain:

  • Why traditional approaches to firmware development fall short and negatively impact medical projects
  • Strategies for optimizing processes, improving timelines, and maintaining compliance with standards like IEC 62304
  • Real-world examples of teams that broke through these barriers for success

Join us on December 12th at 10 AM PST to transform your medical device development challenges into a competitive productivity advantage.
