This is certainly encouraging news. Is there some way we could get documented evidence of these FDA validated embedded systems? Not that I don't believe you, but a comment on Slashdot doesn't exactly stand up as a credible source in an academic setting. Documented examples would help our cause against our sometimes skeptical professors:-).
If you can give us any info, reply to this post or contact us using the email address on our contact page.
We on [ Rhythm Reloaded ] tend to agree with this analysis, and that is the position we have taken in our PPFS. However, it would still be nice to have a documented example of an embedded medical device using open-source software passing FDA validation. It seems that most of the work in this area has been done with non-embedded systems that do not come into contact with patients (such as patient databases and the like).
If anyone has a concrete example they could give, we would appreciate it. Reply to this post or contact us using the email address on our contact page.
