Our Medical Device Software Development Services

Every service we offer is designed for one outcome: medical device software that performs correctly under clinical conditions, survives regulatory review, and scales with your product roadmap.

Custom Software for Medical Devices

We design and build device-specific software tailored to your hardware and clinical use case. From embedded firmware interfaces to clinical dashboards, every component is built for accuracy, reliability, and regulatory traceability. Whether your device handles diagnostics, therapy delivery, monitoring, or imaging, the software we build matches the safety class of the device it runs on.

AI and Machine Learning Integration for Medical Devices

We integrate AI and ML capabilities into medical device software to power smart diagnostics, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and clinical decision support. Our AI models are built with validation and verification documentation aligned to FDA guidance on AI-enabled devices, so your software is not just intelligent but audit-ready. This includes computer vision for imaging, NLP for clinical documentation, and predictive analytics for patient risk stratification.

IoMT Connectivity and Device Integration

We build the connectivity layer that makes your medical devices talk to each other and to clinical systems. This includes real-time data sync with IoMT platforms, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Wi-Fi, and cellular communication, and full compliance with interoperability standards including HL7 v2/v3, FHIR R4, DICOM, and IHE profiles. Our IoMT software development work enables seamless integration with EHR systems, remote monitoring platforms, and third-party health data ecosystems

Legacy Medical Device Software Modernization

Aging medical device software creates compliance risk, integration bottlenecks, and security vulnerabilities. We modernize legacy codebases, migrate to cloud-native or hybrid architectures, re-engineer user interfaces for clinical usability, and bring older systems into alignment with current IEC 62304 and cybersecurity requirements. This is done without disrupting clinical operations.

FDA and IEC 62304 Compliance Built Into Every Project


The medical device software development companies that struggle with FDA reviews are usually the ones that treated compliance as a phase at the end of the project. We do not work that way.

Our development process is structured around the standards that govern medical device software globally. Here is what that means in practice:

Software lifecycle process requirements are followed from the first line of architecture planning through final software release.

For standalone health software and SaMD products, we follow the requirements for product safety and security that go beyond IEC 62304.

Electronic records and electronic signature requirements are addressed in software design, not added post-hoc.

Risk management activities are conducted at every stage of development, with documented risk control measures per hazard analysis.

Protected health information (PHI) handling is built into data architecture with access controls, audit logging, and encryption by default.

For products entering European markets, we align software documentation to EU Medical Device Regulation and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation requirements.

Interoperability standards are supported natively in our integration architecture.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Device Software Development

    What types of medical devices do you develop software for?

    We develop software for a wide range of medical devices including remote patient monitoring devices, diagnostic imaging systems (radiology, pathology, ophthalmology), infusion pumps, insulin delivery systems, smart inhalers, neurostimulators, clinical decision support tools, and connected hospital equipment. We work with both Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) products and software embedded in physical medical hardware (SiMD). Our experience spans FDA Class I, Class II, and Class III device categories.

    How long does it take to develop medical device software?

    Development timelines vary significantly by device complexity and regulatory requirements. A focused MVP for a Class I or Class II device with basic regulatory documentation typically takes 4 to 9 months. A fully-featured platform requiring extensive validation, AI model training, and regulatory documentation for FDA 510(k) or CE marking submission typically takes 12 to 24 months. We provide a detailed timeline estimate after reviewing your requirements, regulatory pathway, and intended use.

    Can you integrate medical device software with hospital EHR systems?

    Yes. We build integrations between medical device software and EHR systems using HL7 FHIR R4, HL7 v2, SMART on FHIR, and direct API integrations with Epic, Cerner (Oracle Health), Meditech, and other major EHR platforms. Our healthcare API integration work includes real-time data exchange, bidirectional sync, and CDS Hooks for clinical decision support integration.

    What is the difference between SaMD and software in a medical device?

    Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) is software intended to fulfill a medical purpose without being part of a physical medical device. Examples include AI diagnostic tools, clinical decision support algorithms, and standalone health monitoring apps. Software in a Medical Device (SiMD) refers to software that controls or runs on a physical device, such as the firmware in an infusion pump or the imaging software in a CT scanner. We develop both, with the compliance approach tailored to the regulatory classification of the software type.

    Do you support IEC 62304 and ISO 14971 compliance?

    Yes. IEC 62304 software lifecycle process requirements are followed across all our regulated medical device software projects. ISO 14971 risk management is conducted throughout development, with documented hazard analyses, risk controls, and residual risk evaluations. We produce all associated documentation artifacts as part of the project delivery, not as a separate engagement.

    How does Citrusbug approach medical device software projects?

    We start with a discovery phase to understand your device requirements, intended use, user population, and regulatory pathway. This informs the architecture, compliance strategy, and team composition. From there, we follow a structured IEC 62304-aligned development process with continuous documentation, regular client reviews, and milestone-based delivery. We act as your full development partner, not just an outsourced coding team.

    Do you help with regulatory submissions and documentation?

    Yes. We produce software documentation packages aligned to FDA 510(k), De Novo, and CE marking requirements. This includes Software Requirements Specifications, Software Design Documents, risk management files (ISO 14971), verification and validation protocols, traceability matrices, and software bills of materials. We work alongside your regulatory affairs team or can serve as your regulatory documentation partner if you do not have one in-house.
