Towards the Trustworthy Development of Active Medical Devices: A Hemodialysis Case Study [PDF]
IEEE Embedded Systems Letters, vol. 8, no. 1, pp. 14-17 (March
2016), 2017 The use of embedded software is advancing in modern medical devices, so does its capabilities and complexity. This paradigm shift brings many challenges such as an increased rate of medical device failures due to software faults. In this letter, we present a rigorous correct by construction approach for the trustworthy development of hemodialysis ...
