Document Summary
Effective and efficient implementation of international standards can make the difference between life and death in the medical field ideas for medical devices come from: Searching journal papers/reviews for a need or gap research. Developing on well researched areas of potential. Personal ideas e,g seeing a gap in the market regarding your own or a family members needs. Adopting new tech for the sake of new tech. Seeing potential for emerging technologies to come together e. g a think tank of experts from different fields. Bringing an idea to market: large number of potential medical devices, functional prototype, device patented, commercial developments, fda. The medical device field is not the same as general consumer products. We are often not selling or marketing to the patient or the public. Clinician led development is critical for correct design and clinical trials. 1 design history: keep of each iteration of design and rationale for evolution.
