Torizon Highlights for Medical and Healthcare Applications

Built-in Security – Streamlined Compliance

Regulatory hurdles loom large when bringing medical devices to the market. Today’s connected solutions require stringent measures such as continuous software updates, vulnerability monitoring, and meticulously maintained software bill of materials (SBOM) to operate securely in an evolving threat landscape. At the same time, compliance with functional safety standards is becoming the norm to prevent human errors and protect users. Torizon’s audited security framework and extensive experience serving the medical sector lower compliance barriers, cut time to market, and protect patients and device manufacturers.

Uncompromising Reliability for Peace of Mind

Medical devices are mission-critical devices. At home and in the clinic, operational errors and downtime pose direct threats to patient health, well-being, and privacy. In the lab, they can lead to costly and dangerous interruptions. In addition to offering a complete software stack designed to keep your equipment running, Torizon’s secure device monitoring solution offers uncompromising reliability by providing around-the-clock visibility into device fleets to proactively detect and resolve issues, reduce maintenance, minimize downtime, and protect patients.

A Vast Ecosystem for Simplified Development

To help meet use-cases-specific needs, Torizon builds on Torizon OS (formerly TorizonCore), a continuously maintained, open-source industrial, embedded Linux operating system. Docker software containers provide unparalleled flexibility, simplifying the integration of essential functions such as hardware acceleration, machine learning, browsers, and graphical user interfaces. And integration partners experienced in developing medical applications cut the time and effort required to turn concepts into reality.
