Hey everyone! I'm just starting my engineering degree and I'm really interested in developing medical software in the future. I was wondering what programming languages and tools would be best to learn to prepare myself for that path. Any suggestions?

It's great that you're getting into medical software! Honestly, at this stage, just focus on the fundamentals. A good starting point is Python; it's user-friendly and widely used. Also, keep in mind that medical programs can vary greatly in complexity, so don't stress too much about picking a specific language just yet!
If you’re leaning towards medical devices specifically, you might want to look into C++ or Rust. These languages are powerful and often used in embedded systems, which are crucial for medical applications. Just a thought!
I will explore those options. Thanks for sharing your insight!
That’s awesome that you’re wanting to create something new! Before choosing languages, think about the type of software you want to develop. Consider the features you want. Spending time refining your idea can really help define what skills you’ll need later on. Good luck!
Thanks, I will keep those questions in mind!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll start with Python.
