About the Course

In this class, we present a broad overview of the field of medical software. You will learn from Yale professors and a series of industry experts who connect the course concepts to their real world applications. We begin by discussing medical device regulatory structures, data privacy and cybersecurity regulations, and key support technologies such quality management systems and risk management. We then take a detailed look at the medical software life cycle, starting with identifying user needs, mapping these to system requirements and then the process of software design, coding, testing and validation. We continue by exploring issues related to the use of machine learning techniques in medical applications from both a software engineering and a regulatory perspective. We conclude with a discussion of the business and management issues in this area focusing on the impact on digital health on modern healthcare and issues related to starting new ventures. This is a class aimed at either third- or fourth-year undergraduates in computer science, biomedical engineering, and related fields, and to junior software engineers currently either working in, or interested in moving to, the medical device industry....

Very good course, but let me start with a few things that could make it even better: - The English subtitles are auto-generated and the quality is pretty low, which makes it hard to follow sometimes. - The course gives great insights into how to create certain documents, but there are no downloadable templates. A commented template with sections and quick notes would have been super helpful and saved a lot of time. - The schematics shown (like life cycles and key parts of the QMS) aren't available for download. I get that there might be copyright issues, but they could have made their own versions for the course. - Some of the recommended readings are behind paywalls, which is a bit frustrating. - The final module on Machine Learning could use a refresh—it’s still interesting and useful, but the field moves really fast. That said, this is honestly one of the best courses I’ve taken—not just on the topic, but overall. It’s clear, well-structured, and packed with incredible valuable content. I’d definitely recommend it to project managers, even if they’re not working with medical devices, software or regulatory compliance. You’ll come away with new insights and a fresh perspective on certain practices.

le rythme au début semblait rapide mais avec le temps et le nombre de notions acquiseacquises j'ai compris que c'était nécessaire. Très bonbonne structuration des leçons et interventions des experts.
