Rust in Embedded-Adjacent Medical Systems

By Denis Pralas

Talk - Tuesday, 15 September
11:30

As the title suggests, this talk will discuss the usage of Rust in medical systems that are “close to embedded.” This has two distinct, but equally important meanings:

We will cover common pitfalls and solutions when designing OS startup sequences, hardware triggers, systemd services, synchronization strategies and the importance (and limitations) of type safety for these use cases.
