Meh... that industry is over-regulated. The excessive regulation is causing the very problems that it proposes to solve. No one can deploy fixes because each iteration has to go through draconian certifications. When a product in this field meets a deadline... that's it... so rather than releasing v1.0 which gets patched, it just goes out un-patched.
It's the classic argument against the waterfall model... hmmm... we planned really hard, but there were still problems... the solution is clearly to plan even harder next time. Doesnt work.
No one will make an innovative product, because they like the status quo. The incumbents are more than happy about the over-regulation, because the barrier to entry stops new entrants from entering the competition and reducing rents.
Take EHR... (electronic health records)... this is an easy problem... just have an electronic notebook and attach tests results as files, prescriptions as records, etc... why has it not been fixed? HIPPA and other regulatory restrictions. Oh no... we cant just save your chest X-Ray as a TIFF file with a date, time, and location... it must be part of an integrated database thing... seriously... the web (just a bunch of linked files) solved this problem decades ago.
