Healthcare Software Development Framework (HC-Framework)

A comprehensive framework implementing a Hybrid Agile-Waterfall methodology specifically designed for healthcare software development, ensuring regulatory compliance while maintaining agile flexibility.

Current System Status

Working Features

• ✅ Healthcare Simulation API with RapidAPI Integration
• ✅ Quantum-Safe Security Implementation
• ✅ Environment Configuration & Security
• ✅ OpenAPI Documentation
• ✅ Hybrid Agile-Waterfall Process Implementation

Implemented Endpoints

• /simulate - Medical scenario simulation
• /validate - Protocol validation

Security Features

• RapidAPI Key Authentication
• Environment-based Configuration
• Secure API Key Storage
• CORS and Security Headers

Framework Overview

This framework combines the rigorous documentation and validation requirements of traditional Waterfall methodologies with the flexibility and iterative nature of Agile development, specifically tailored for healthcare software projects.

Key Features

• Regulatory Compliance: Built-in processes for ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 compliance
• Risk Management: Integrated FMEA/HAZOP methodologies
• Quantum-Safe Security: Architecture patterns for quantum-resistant security measures
• M3 Optimizations: Performance optimization guidelines and templates
• Traceability: End-to-end requirement-to-validation mapping
