Are you looking to develop a medical device but want to avoid the pitfalls associated with developing a product? Do you want to test if your product is commercially viable?
This training course will explore all aspects of the medical device development process, from concept to pitching, as well as looking at trigger points in the medical device development process, and how to keep the project moving along the innovation journey.
This training course will cover:
- Why good ideas fail
- Trigger points when developing medical devices
- Failing fast; failing cheap
- Documentation
- Commercial viability and risk management
- Moving the project forward
By the end of the day you will:
- Understand why good ideas fail due to issues such as budgeting, IP, a lack of commercial viability, as well as others

- Understand the need for early stage proof-of-concept; idea validation; identifying and understanding the challenges.
- How to document using history files; regulatory requirements and identifying and mitigating risk.
