Medical software life cycle processes IEC 62304
Software development according to the health tech field’s standard
IEC 62304 -standard extensively covers processes of medical software lifecycle: development, maintenance, risk and configuration management, and problem resolution.
Clinipower helps develop a life cycle model for your medical software according to IEC 62304, and apply the standard processes in practice within your organization. We make sure that the software development will be documented according to regulatory requirements.
Innovation process
A tailored process for health tech innovation journey to market
Health tech innovations result from co-operation of various actors and as an outcome of complex processes. The innovations are used in high-risk environments and placed on strictly regulated markets.
We at Clinipower have developed an innovation process that models the journey of a new health tech innovation MVP-version, from an idea to market. The process considers especially the beginning of the journey: recognizing opportunities and creating solutions. The process includes check lists for each phase for following progress.
You can contact us already when your product is on idea or concept level: we can map the potential journey to market with you.

EU4MEDTECH – Horizon Project
European health technology development is undergoing transformation, and new regulatory requirements are challenging companies to seek effective solutions. EU4MEDTECH represents a significant step forward, as a European innovation project joins forces to build the future of health technology. Clinipower understands that health technology companies continuously face growing challenges in meeting MDR and IVDR regulatory requirements. Software as a medical device regulation requires deep expertise that is not always found within the organization. We offer a comprehensive overview of the EU4MEDTECH project and its significance for health technology development. At the same time, you will receive practical information about how we can support your organization in navigating the regulatory requirements jungle and achieving CE marking efficiently. The European health technology field is experiencing historical change as the Horizon program brings new opportunities for innovation. Health technology is developing faster than ever, but simultaneously regulatory requirements are tightening significantly. The MDR regulation […]
CE marking for medical device
CE marking is a critical prerequisite for the successful marketing of medical devices in Europe. This mandatory marking indicates that the product meets all applicable EU regulations and is safe for its intended use. Health technology product development nowadays requires a deep understanding of the CE marking process from the early stages of development work, as considering regulatory requirements later can cause significant delays and costs. The new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) has significantly tightened requirements, and companies need even deeper expertise to navigate successfully in the complex regulatory environment. CE marking (Conformité Européenne) is a statutory compliance marking that indicates a medical device meets all applicable EU directives and regulations. Without CE marking, a medical device may not be placed on the market in the European Economic Area. The marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product has been designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable […]
User-centered design in health technology
In the world of health technology, technical expertise and innovations are undoubtedly important, but one critical factor is often forgotten: user experience. When a doctor struggles with a complex patient information system in the midst of an urgent situation, or when a nurse cannot find the needed function on a medical device, it is not just a usability problem – it is about patient safety. User-centered design is not merely a buzzword, but a necessity in health technology product development. In healthcare environments, the importance of user-centered design is emphasized in a way that is not seen in other industries. When the user interface is unintuitive or the workflow does not correspond to real usage situations, the consequences can be serious. Poorly designed technology can lead to medication errors, delayed treatment decisions, or even life-threatening situations. From a patient safety perspective, user-centered design serves as the first line of defense against human errors […]
