Denham, 7 March 2025 – ITK Engineering, a global technology firm and subsidiary of Robert Bosch, is expanding into the UK MedTech sector. With 30 years of expertise in software and systems engineering, the EN ISO 13485-certified company will support medical innovators in one of the world’s most dynamic healthcare ecosystems.
The UK’s MedTech sector, home to over 3,400 companies, is driving advancements in AI-powered diagnostics, wearable devices, and robot-assisted surgery. ITK Engineering’s entry into the market will provide cutting-edge engineering support for regulatory-compliant medical device development, embedded software and systems, robotics, AI-assisted engineering, cloud computing, and cyber security—helping accelerate product development while ensuring compliance.
"The UK presents immense opportunities for innovation in healthcare," said Dr. Frank Schmidt, CEO of ITK Engineering in a press release published by Bosch. "With our deep technological expertise, we are well-equipped to support British medical device manufacturers in bringing next-generation solutions to market."
With new post-market surveillance (PMS) requirements for medical devices set to take effect in the UK on June 16, 2025, ITK Engineering is positioned to help manufacturers adapt to evolving regulations—including stricter cyber security standards.
These regulations emphasise cyber risk management, vulnerability scans, CVE management, and timely security patches. Yet, inconsistent cyber security implementation remains a challenge for many projects, often due to budget constraints—an oversight that can lead to higher long-term costs for regulatory compliance.
To address this, ITK Engineering offers comprehensive cyber security services, including:
- Cyber security risk management
- CVE analytics and penetration testing
- Standards-compliant documentation
This expertise ensures medical device manufacturers integrate cyber security seamlessly into their development and operational processes.
