Welcome to ICS' April Newsletter
April has been a whirlwind at ICS with the launch of our dedicated medtech practice and announcement of our collaboration with Quidel on a molecular diagnostic system for their point-of-care Savanna® testing platform, which speeds results for COVID-19, MRSA and HIV. We’ve also been busy preparing for our upcoming appearance at DEV/DES DAYS 2021 in May. This event offers software developers and designers the chance to come together and discover new ways to optimize processes. We’ll be presenting an interesting talk about how to use Qt Design Studio to enhance workflow from UX to development. Registration information is in this issue, as are details on our new partnership with Ready Robotics, a blog on Qt Design Studio to whet your appetite for our DEV/DES talk, Part 3 in our series on developing with microcontrollers, and information on our June virtual training course on creating a Qt application for an embedded device using Raspberry Pi.
