Overview
Requirements on healthcare software products are becoming more and more complicated and software systems of today are characterized by increasing complexity and size. Therefore, software systems can no longer be developed feasibly without the processes supported by appropriate methods. We propose a method for configuration and modification of agile processes behind healthcare products development based on gathered knowledge and formal modeling. Our approach allows to support and optimize the processes with formal methods of modeling and machine-learning based simulations.
