Session Overview:
The session ‘New Era on Medical Devices: Agile Codesign, Prototyping, and Industrialization’ in the Eurecat morning session was part of the Health Revolution Congress tracks on May 16th.
Eurecat is the main Research & Technology Organisation in Catalonia and the second largest private research organization in southern Europe.
This session featured various discussions about Medical Devices and addressed questions such as:
- What are some key challenges that emerging medical device startups face in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape?
- How do you see the role of agile codesign, prototyping, and industrialization shaping the future of medical device innovation?
- In what ways can collaborative approaches between startups, regulatory bodies, and established industry players accelerate the development and adoption of next-generation medical devices?
- How does an Agile methodology fit: sprints, rapid updates/improvements, AI, within a regulatory system where significant changes must go through the NB?
- How to use Agile planning tools to facilitate necessary regulatory-level records? For example: stakeholder requirements and technical requirements.
The session provided deep insights into the future of medical device innovation, making it an invaluable experience for academics, researchers, and professionals in the field of health technologies.
