Roadmap to Compliance - Bench to Bedside
Medical technologies are proven to have a positive impact on our health, from prevention, diagnosis, treatment and beyond. The world has changed so dramatically over the last few years to such a degree that global healthcare demands for innovation, resilience and value are at their highest ever seen. This has created opportunities and challenges for patients, healthcare providers, regulators, investors and manufacturers alike. These include the surging demand for advanced diagnostics, the power of software and digital health, and medical technology shortages due to regulatory changes and supply chain issues. They are changing the entire paradigm of how and where healthcare is delivered as well as regulated.
Element's MedTech Conference seeks to challenge the existing regulatory structures and discuss how medical technologies can be brought into play at the right time and within a framework that optimises time to market and delivers a higher degree of confidence that those technologies will positively impact health outcomes, healthcare costs and environmental and societal impact.
The event forms part of a range of planned educational and digital navigational tools to be delivered through Element’s Global MedTech Academy to support faster access to the market of innovative and safer medical technologies.
Our agenda takes the audience from the funding innovation landscape, regulatory pathways, approaches to testing (in vivo, in vitro, and in silico), and beyond compliance.
This free event will support you in navigating the regulations to bring your concept from 'bench to bedside' using some of the latest testing methods and strategies for compliance.
