God forbid I ever need to rely on software to live. But if I do you can guarantee I won't have anything connected to the internet that I need a smartphone to use!
At that point you may have no choice if you want to live.
If I can't find anyone willing to take the risk, I'd take a shot in reverse engineering the thing myself.
Great article. Real life horror stories of life-critical software gore, with some good news at the end. It should be illegal to sell software that someones life depends upon without giving the user the right to inspect and modify the code.
Quality of life critical software should be ensured by FDA certification. Homebrew modifications of that software, even in the name of “freedom”, risks the patient’s life and health and should be illegal if uncertified.

In some (western) countries, your body is your personal private property, and you have the freedom and ultimate authority over how to use and abuse it, or anything on or in it. (you are still advised to treat your most precious property wisely, obviously)
In other (western) countries/subcommunities people feel that obligations to your community are stronger.
People from these different cultures can get into some pretty hefty discussions when it comes to things like abortion, drugs, euthansia, or -here- implants.

So like suicide, drugs and other and other cases where we are denied dominion over ourselves for our own good? IE. Your life and body are not yours, they belong to society and you only get limited access.

So you would prefer it not be developed?
And don't tell me that SaaS is an integral part of the business model for medical device companies. There's no world in which they can't figure out how to turn a profit without charging a monthly fee to use your tens of thousands of dollars eyeball.

Serious question, what does the FDA know about software quality?
And surely they could hire experts to do the job.
