    Hi everyone

    For clarification, does a mobile interface with any other system. In Clause 5.2.2 software requirements section, interface between the software system and other systems, does this apply to mobile apps?  Thanks

    Yes, there's no reason why it wouldn't apply, just because it's a mobile app... Mobile apps can have interfaces, too.​
    Of course some interfaces are more important than others with regard to safety.

    There may be interfaces such as local database, API, your central database/cloud, interfaces with hardware components if you're using the mobile device sensors (e.g. accelerometer) or camera to capture data, or interfaces with other medical devices or services from which you collect information for analysis.
