Medical Systems
Modern medical systems continually grow in complexity to accommodate ever-increasing demands for functionality and performance. Most medical systems depend on complex hardware/software interactions to form elaborate mechatronic systems that both monitor and regulate patient health metrics. Product designs must seamlessly integrate embedded and application software, analog and digital hardware, and mechanical components. Successfully integrating and verifying these complex systems is often costly in terms of time, money, and engineering resources.
This Web seminar describes a top-down, multi-discipline, model-driven development (MDD) flow that allows system models to be built at any level of abstraction. View Video

Medical system suppliers need development environments and design methodologies that promote design team interaction and process integration. A multi-discipline development environment and concurrent design methodology provide continuity throughout the design, implementation, and validation phases of system development.
Merging the hardware and software implementation paths is key to developing complex medical systems. Hardware and software development progresses in-sync, ensuring that changes in one development flow can immediately be analyzed for effects in complementary flows.
Benefits of a concurrent design methodology include:
- Close communication between medical system development teams, regardless of the technology domain
- Flexible design partitioning, allowing in-process changes to improve system quality and performance
- Improved handling of medical system design complexities
- Software issues are a key consideration throughout the entire development flow
- Real world interactions between system elements can be modeled and analyzed as the system is designed
SystemVision is Mentor Graphics’ solution for complex medical system development and system-level modeling. Engineers can model and analyze complete multi-discipline medical systems such as cardiac pacemakers, infusion pumps, magnetic imaging systems, and other complex medical devices. Industry standard modeling language support allows engineers to model analog, mixed-signal, and mixed-technology systems using any mixture of design abstractions – from high-level behavioral, to detailed-level physics-based representations. SystemVision integrates hardware and software design in a concurrent, multi-discipline design flow.
