Our Favorite Moment

“The notion of a validated design is critical. But the thing that people need to be aware of is that design will have its own lifecycle. And so the fundamental question to ask is how do we upgrade that? How do we upgrade a particular component within the validated design? And then once that is upgraded, you have essentially a new stack of software. How do we get that into the field? What's the lifecycle management strategy to upgrade let's say an X-ray machine at a hospital in Australia? That's a critical thing that needs to be resolved.”
