Application of Lean-Agile Approach for Medical Wearable Device Development

Abstract

Currently the healthcare industry undergoes disruptive changes so that the design of medical products requires much better speed, flexibility and inter-connectivity. Research and development of mobile health products require an intensive collaboration from cross-disciplinary teams. In order to succeed, healthcare product providers should adapt their engineering processes to the fast improving environment. This paper introduces a hybrid Lean-Agile approach for the medical wearable device development process with respect to the learning outcomes and quality management system.
