Medical Devices

Devices such as patient monitors, robotic surgical systems, and ultrasound devices pose high risks because a malfunction could impact patient safety, and cybersecurity threats compromise device integrity.

With high-quality HMI components, real-time performance, and graphics acceleration, Qt Framework delivers intuitive and responsive medical devices. Built with cybersecurity in mind, Qt tools further support secure application development. Qt cross-platform capabilities allow for creating and testing applications on a PC or even in the cloud without the need for actual hardware, delivering consistently the best performance across devices. This approach also accelerates time to market by enabling early testing, rapid iteration, and easy deployment.

Clinical Lab

Errors in the lab equipment can endanger patient safety, while cybersecurity breaches expose sensitive patient records. With its rich libraries for high-performance, reliable HMIs, Qt Framework lets clinical lab manufacturers shift focus from low-level tech details to enhanced usability, safety, and efficiency. A clear, intuitive HMI supports personnel on complex tasks ranging from sample preparation and analysis to digital imaging review, data interpretation, and more. 

Qt helps medical labs meet the accuracy, automation, and usability requirements essential for lab and diagnostic equipment. The ability to connect seamlessly with laboratory and hospital information systems makes clinical equipment built with Qt fit naturally into the connected lab ecosystem.

Healthcare IT

Healthcare IT systems manage vast sensitive patient data. Breaches can jeopardize patient records, disrupt care, and damage trust. The demand for secure, interoperable, and scalable healthcare IT systems bridging clinicians, patients, and data systems can be easily met with Qt Framework's data processing capabilities, cybersecurity and cyber-resilience support, and networking solutions. 

With Qt, Healthcare IT providers can easily create cross-platform applications that run consistently across desktops, mobile devices, and the web, and connect seamlessly to medical devices and clinical labs—simplifying integration with electronic health records, hospital and laboratory information systems, and more.

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. Medical UIs have to be intuitive to enable a variety of users to navigate complex workflows easily. Moreover, as healthcare increasingly transitions to home settings and the risk of 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 clinical lab equipment, Qt helps you balance innovation with compliance. Qt is ISO 9001:2015 certified with an established Quality Management System. 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.

For Healthcare IT applications like electronic health records, telehealth applications, and remote patient monitors, data protection against cyberthreats is crucial. To comply with standards such as IEC 62304, HIPAA (U.S.), GDPR (EU), HL7, and FHIR, Qt's security-critical code undergoes regular reviews, testing, and documentation. This process adheres to cybersecurity and cyberresilience 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 healthcare 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. 

Decentralized, Interconnected, Interoperable

Embrace Smart Health as the foundation of your organization's strategy. Enhance business agility and clinical outcomes by leveraging technology and digitalization. 
Qt Unbound Care is a seamless, pervasive form of healthcare that relies on interoperability, connectivity, and data to integrate into the daily lives of people.
