Do you have a medtech idea but unsure of how to progress it? Are you confused by Medical Device Regulations?

Each course is broken into digestible chapters, and lasts a total 30 minutes:

This course is an introduction to developing medical technologies, understanding the market opportunity, identifying unmet needs, intellectual property rights and more.

By the end of this course, you will be briefed with everything you need to know to develop robust medical technology solutions to real problems.

What academics need to know about the regulation of medical devices
