Navigating Innovative Medical Device Technology Towards Clinical Use

Modern healthcare is reliant on medical device technology to deliver safe and effective care. As patient and societal expectations change and technologies advance, there is a continual need to develop and adopt new technologies to ensure healthcare systems remain sustainable and fit for purpose.

Whilst there are no shortages of great innovative ideas within the UK, medical device regulatory requirements coupled with the complexity of NHS technology adoption practices present challenges to innovators. This is particularly true for MedTech startups, university spin-outs and academic research teams, who do not have the benefit of regulatory affairs support which is commonplace in large MedTech companies.

This webinar will be aimed at SMEs and academic researchers designing novel healthcare technologies. The intent is to help develop an appreciation of prevailing medical device regulatory frameworks, the use of international standards, coupled with an understanding of UK NHS adoption requirements. The webinar promotes a systems engineering approach, integrating regulatory requirements with technology adoption and life cycle management factors. This approach is designed to reduce the time to market and increase the likelihood of clinical uptake.
