Application of the scrum methodology in the design of medical equipment prototypes

Abstract

In these times we are living, which has been affected mainly by the pandemic of Covid-19, in this sense many national and private institutions, from different business areas, are starting business models related to the manufacture of medical equipment, in this sense, in this paper, we indicate a method to develop medical equipment, under the SCRUM methodology, to leverage resources and improve project management, the methodology develops six major groups of activities known as Sprint, the first related to the analysis of requirements, the second with the analysis of the regulations to be met, the third related to the design of the prototype consisting of hardware and software components, the fourth related to quality testing by measuring the patterns, the fifth related to testing on patients and the sixth with the evaluation with an entity that qualifies and issues the final authorization of use, we explain the methodology in general so that it can be applied and scaled to different types of equipment.
