Cost competitiveness can become challenged due to the complexity of many devices, in particular in cases where the device contains both a rich GUI and functional safety components. In these projects, adopting a mixed safety criticality solution allows you to fully separate the safe and non-safe domains on a single SoC. This approach helps lower costs versus the more expensive and time-consuming option of implementing the safe and non-safe subsystems on separate hardware.
Medical usability, including GUI standards are managed through IEC62336 (Usability Engineering) and FDA regulations. In order to ensure your device is compliant with the industry standards and regulations, choosing a software platform with market proven UI capabilities can also be an advantage.
