| Abstract | Medical Software Quality Regulations have been developed through a concern for patient safety, outcome and care. From our research on a variety of projects, which includes observation within hospitals and clinics, we can demonstrate that there are many situations in which regulations and directives regarding medical device software are not being taken into account, and unregulated software is developed and used in healthcare organisations. This happen mainly because people, not trained in software engineering within a lack of knowledge in regulations develop software solutions for healthcare. In addition, healthcare professionals are unaware of regulations and the effect unregulated software may have on patient and practitioner alike, and so use these systems. Software Engineers have a role to play to solve this problem. We recommend that, healthcare software systems are developed by professional software engineers in interdisciplinary teams with healthcare professionals. Software engineering and healthcare academics can collaborate on the development of modules within healthcare courses and the development of specialist courses. Through these, healthcare professionals will be educated on the value of software engineering practices and principles, and on the requirement for regulation in the development of medical device software. Software engineering courses should include topics focused on Medical Device Software development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
