11:57Challenges and considerations of building medical devices using React Native
The talk explains why healthcare software needs rigorous testing and assurance: defects can affect people’s lives, so teams must evaluate changes across devices, operating systems, locations, and edge cases. It discusses how dependency review, test automation, and careful release practices help manage risk, especially when apps connect to physical BLE and NFC devices. The speaker says React Native is performant enough for most healthcare applications, while suggesting native code or C for demanding time-critical components. To choose technology, teams should assess their use case, community support, and developer experience through prototypes and research rather than relying on trends.
