Vision: The Future is Built with Qt
Same code base
across all devices
Reduce SW
development time
and maintenance
costs
Platform based
approach to
reduce
development
costs
› Qt abstracts the OS and HW
dependencies so that your
software is truly cross-
platform.
› Qt provides SW
development tools to
shorten the design-
development-deployment
cycle.
› Qt with its suite of modular
libraries and plug-in based
tools can be customized to
create your unique software
platform and ecosystem.
Create Safe,
Effective, Intuitive,
and Reliable User
Experiences
› Qt provides a UI toolkit to
create fluid user interfaces

Qt understands Medical Product Developers Up at Night
Three main areas of concern when developers of medical products select COTS software
Clinical Risk Human Factors Risk Cybersecurity Risk
Risk a product will not
work as intended
Risk a product will
not be used as
intended
Risk a product will
be hacked and
compromised
Qt works with our customers to support and create solutions for each

› Renders the safety critical UI
› Controls hardware composition of the graphics planes
› Monitors correct operation of the non-safety critical UI
› Disables the non-safety UI if error detected in its operation
› Will try to restart non-safety UI if failure detected
Qt Safe Renderer
IEC 62304 and IEC 61508 certified tool
If there is a failure with the software, the Qt Safe Renderer will continue to display
safety critical information accurately

Qt Design Studio – Enhanced workflow between UI Designer
and Developer
› Prototype for production on real devices in minutes and iterate on the fly
› Get ahead by reusing components from prototypes
› Time and effort saved through automatically generated code based on design
› Ensure brand consistency through custom styles and guidelines created during the
design and prototyping phase
› Pixel perfect animations with easy-to-use tools
End result is UI Specification (QML based, directly
usable by developers)
End result is a prototype or a product

› Use cases
› Remote Maintenance
› Configure devices that do not have a HMI terminal
connected.
› Reduce HW costs with BYOD strategy
› Use a browser to remotely control an
application in any device
› Works with common web browsers without additional
installations
› Multiple connections supported. Even from separate
applications
