Device-agnostic ECG software: what the evidence needs to show

Editorial draft · Sample article for design review

Start with the supported inputs

Device independence is an evidence question as well as an integration question. The evaluation begins by defining the devices and input configurations the software is intended to support.

Look beyond the pooled result

An overall performance result can be useful without answering every question about a particular source device or configuration. The evidence plan should make clear which comparisons support the proposed claim.

Bring the question into development

What evidence would allow your team to explain why the software is suitable for each supported input? That question belongs early in product planning.
