## Summary

Ross Dehmoobed, VP of software and platforms at Veranex, explains how his company applies agile methodologies to medical device development. He details the use of 'Fusion Core' libraries and custom hardware modules to enable rapid prototyping, allowing teams to demonstrate functional breadboards and software features within the first two weeks. Dehmoobed emphasizes that while planning and regulatory pathway definition (such as 510(k) or de novo) require upfront waterfall-style rigor, the execution phase benefits from short sprints, off-target unit testing, and continuous customer feedback to maintain quality and speed.
