INBRAIN Chooses Jama Connect ® to Provide Clarity, Stability, and Confidence in Quality Control for Neural Implant Systems Development

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics develops GRAPHENE NEURAL implant systems for central and peripheral neuroelectronic applications including autonomous BCI Therapeutics to restore movement control and other important lost functions in Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy or Stroke in addition to organ related therapeutics

Customer Story Overview

The company started looking for a requirements management tool to use in developing their first product. They knew that building implants would involve a huge number of requirements to be written, checked, reviewed, and iterated on. Connecting to related software development activity in Jira and test management systems would be critical to ensuring quality and maintaining traceability.

They determined that using Excel for requirements and test traceability would be too cumbersome, time consuming, and risky. Ensuring regulatory compliance and product quality was too important for successful product development and delivery to rely on a manual, document-based process prone to human mistakes.

INBRAIN chose Jama Connect because it greatly increased confidence in quality control by enabling the entire team to work collaboratively and efficiently on requirements, tests, and risk management. This provided the stability for the team to focus on the development effort rather than worry about data integrity or quality control issues.

With Jama Connect, Users Experience:

  • Greater confidence in quality control thanks to distributed collaboration that enabled the entire team to work in parallel with consistent, shared, up-to-date information
  • Ability to start working immediately after fast configuration and setup of integrations assisted by Jama Software’s Services team
  • Centralized platform for integrated requirements, tests, and risk management professionally supported by Jama Software’s Support team

“The massive collaboration in Jama Connect, where everything is controlled and checked and where reuse is supported, makes the whole management of requirements much easier.”
– MARTIJN HAZENBERG – HEAD OF EMBEDDED ENGINEERING, INBRAIN

Challenges

Complex, high volumes of requirements and tests.

When developing highly complex medical devices, the use of Excel for manual tracing of large volumes of requirements and tests through multiple iterations and reviews would have been too time-consuming, cumbersome, and risky from a compliance and quality perspective.

“We wanted to avoid spending so much time on manual efforts such as modifying data in Excel sheets and performing manual traceability. By using Jama Connect, all of that wasted time disappears, and we can focus on the things that truly matter, such as our development effort.” – ALBERT MOLINS – SYSTEMS ARCHITECT, INBRAIN

Evaluation

Integrated solution for managing requirements, tests, and risks in connection with Jira and test automation systems.

The evaluation demonstrated that Jama Connect could provide the integrated, efficient, collaborative solution that the company needed for both current and future needs. The team also appreciated how quickly Jama Software’s Solutions Architect and Support staff responded to questions and requests during and after the evaluation.

“Jama Connect has given our team much greater clarity, stability, and confidence in control quality to focus on development.”
– ALBERT MOLINS – SYSTEMS ARCHITECT, INBRAIN
