Software Stacks (Library)

The working group Software Stacks deals with the creation and maintenance of software for the IEEE 11073 Service-oriented Device connectivity (SDC) standard family.

Test labs, simulators and data security

The working group ``Test laboratories, simulators and data security`` focuses on the safety and security of networked medical devices and their testing.

Education and Training

Coordination of OR.NET test centers and demonstrator sites

In the coming months, the working group will concentrate on further penetrating the specialist community with the topic of cross-manufacturer networking of medical devices.
