Helping Develop Medical Device Simulators for Roche

This is the newest case study on the collaboration of SPD Group and Roche. Find out all the details on this project and why it is helpful in saving lives!


Overview

Our client Roche is a Swiss multinational healthcare company, the history of which spans more than 126 years. Nowadays, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, which is the full name of the organization, is the #1 pharmaceutical company in the world and the leading provider of cancer treatments globally with 100,920 employees in 150 countries.


Roche has two main divisions: Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics. Roche Diagnostics is divided into five business areas: Roche Applied Science, Roche Professional Diagnostics, Roche Diabetes Care, Roche Molecular Diagnostics, and Roche Tissue Diagnostics (Ventana). All the company’s business areas except Roche Applied Science focus on health care applications, intended for either physicians, hospitals, and clinics, or consumers.


SPD Group’s involvement in Roche’s projects has become possible thanks to their Senior Software Engineering Manager, Oleksandr Grytsyna. Oleksandr worked with our team at NimbleCommerce, a white-label E-Commerce platform, which was eventually acquired by BlackHawk Network. When a few years later, Olexandr moved on to Roche, he became responsible for SPD Group’s onboarding as a vendor and continues to be our main contact and manager of our services at Roche. At Roche, numerous project challenges required the involvement of additional development resources, and they approached SPD Group for assistance.

Initially, our project team was composed of only 2 experts. In the spring of 2020, it was significantly expanded and kept on gradually growing afterward. By April 2022, the SPD project team had grown to include 15 experts. As of May 2022, 10 members of our team are involved in testing the software and creating simulators and stubs for machines that conduct Nanopore DNA sequencing. This area is working on diagnosing and preventing diseases in:

  • Human genetics (rare disease, risk profiling, drug response prediction).
  • Oncology (research, diagnosis, therapy selection, monitoring).
  • Prenatal screening (trisomy panel, fewer false positives, earlier in pregnancy).
  • Infectious disease (virology, bacteriology, human microbiome).
  • Other applications (newborn screening, immunogenetics, RNA).

Two project team members are working on a Connecting Software system. One Java Developer is also involved in software development, while two more of our experts are working on converting tests from the client’s legacy framework to the one that was chosen as a replacement. We also had a Product Owner that was working with a client on adding new features to a sequencer.
