Medical Device Software & BLE Integration

Diagnostic Summary

"Critical healthcare systems fail when BLE connectivity is unstable or UI latency delays physician action. I specialize in the "Hard Tech" side of medical software — ensuring rock-solid Bluetooth reliability and HMI performance in high-stakes environments where an app crash is a patient safety risk."

The Solution Strategy

Max approaches medical software with a "Safety-First, Speed-Second" philosophy. At EXPANSIA, he led the MVP development for a medical device HMI, managing sub-second BLE data sync and cross-platform reliability. His approach: rigorous state management, defensive error handling, and performance profiling that guarantees uptime in the operating room.

Critical Success Factors

  • Medical device UI design must prioritize error prevention — the 30% user error reduction at Cirtec came from simplifying clinician workflows, not adding more safety warnings
  • Compliance documentation should be authored during development, not after — writing test protocols as you build ensures coverage and reduces audit friction
  • BLE connectivity in medical devices requires robust error handling for intermittent connections — clinical environments are never as clean as the lab
  • Partnering early with device partners like Medtronic aligns technical and commercial objectives before sea trials or market launches

Frequently Asked Questions

What medical device software has Max Fritzhand developed?
At Cirtec Medical, Max developed BLE-connected interfaces for spinal medical devices using Swift and .NET MAUI. He reduced user error by 30%, shortened clinician onboarding by two weeks, and authored compliance testing protocols that were adopted by additional device programs.
How does Max Fritzhand handle FDA compliance in software development?
Max integrates compliance into the development process rather than treating it as a separate phase. At Cirtec, he authored hardware and software compliance testing protocols during development, participated in regulatory reviews, and partnered with Medtronic to ensure alignment with post-launch requirements.
Can Max Fritzhand develop BLE-connected healthcare applications?
Yes. Max has production experience developing BLE interfaces for spinal medical devices at Cirtec Medical. He understands the unique challenges: intermittent connectivity in clinical environments, safety-critical error handling, cross-platform compatibility (.NET MAUI for Android/iOS), and regulatory requirements.
