ABOUT THIS MASTERCLASS PROGRAM
From the early research stage, right
through to product development and commercialisation, the relationship
between product usability, key stakeholders (users) and risk plays a
vital role. Engaging end-users and identifying risk early in product
development is fundamental to achieving success in market.
The Medical Technology sector is
tightly regulated globally, with risk and safety considerations a
central focal point for regulatory bodies. As such, the pathway to a
market-ready medical device will be volatile without a clear
understanding of the ecosystem, people and processes that exist around
it, and the impact each of these may have.
This high-value Masterclass Program,
sponsored by the State Government of Victoria, will guide medtech
executives through two important interdependent strategies in the
product development life cycle; user engagement and risk management
& mitigation.
Leading industry experts will
examine how to access key stakeholders, derive evidence-based needs on a
global scale, and tackle key risk categories to effectively prioritise
and balance cost, quality and time-to-market – all while employing a
user and patient-centric approach to product development.
Participants will gain invaluable knowledge, skills and tools to strategically engage stakeholders, manage and mitigate risk and ultimately, build great confidence in market adoption.
