The Application of an Integrated Product Development Process to the Design of Medical Equipment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

With the research presented in this chapter we aim to investigate the importance of the concurrent engineering (CE) philosophy in the engineering-medical multidisciplinary environment for integrated product development process (IPDP) of medical equipment. We address the requirements of a health professional user as well as patient’s needs. We have identified and contextualized the medical equipment lifecycle, the importance of CE in the IPDP of medical equipment and present propositions for the insertion of software tools that support product development phases. A discussion is included on the use of CE and IPDP oriented towards medical equipment conception and development, perspectives of engineering modular development and interface between Health and Engineering information areas for increasing technical, clinical and economic quality.
