Creating a MedTech ecosystem is something I want to develop over time. It is an extremely difficult task because the amount of moving parts are "infinite" in a sense. Putting that vision into a realistic structure starts somewhere though. The team around me is helping tremendously to make that vision a reality. These people believe in me as much as I believe in them because it is a harmony and we have fun with it. A bunch of my clients are on board into this vision too! First off, they love the results/delivery of any engagement. Why wouldn't they be interested in being part of a world where their brand+mission is being elevated? We elevate one another. Think about Apple and Tim Cook/Steve Jobs. Customer experience is such a valuable asset. Positive or negative feedback helps in ways I never imagined because I give my customers the freedom to say what is on their mind and I do the same in a professional sense - this is exactly how you build and develop a STRONG relationship for the long run. Apple's ecosystem is untouchable for a variety of reasons (many of you know this because you use their products and systems like I do). At the end of the day, if you are obsessed with your customers and their values, a karmic energy comes back to you in a cascade, and it resonates throughout your ecosystem. 🙏 svatantrya #blessed #letsfindout #devanfamlovesanalogies

A Common Pitfall for MedTech / Medical device manufacturing Companies: 🚫 Mistake: Investing heavily in a product without customer feedback. 🚫 Risk: Channeling resources into development without a deep understanding of the target market, including cultural and societal norms. 📉 It's a frequent, costly error driven by arrogance and preallocated capital. ✨ Smart Strategy: Start with your MVP (Minimum Viable Product). 🌱 Why Gradual Growth? The most successful companies grow gradually because they take time to tailor their products to the markets they serve. Do not waste your time and efforts. Be quick to go to market but do your HW.

Key takeaway from MedTech MVP's "Breakthrough Device Panel Discussion": "While patient impact is advanced by improved times for novel devices (via the De Novo or PMA) there remains opportunity. The 510(k) is the most common application type and the "workhorse" for medtech innovation. Here we can stand to get more innovative solutions." #medtechmvp #breakthroughdevices #510kpathway #denovo #thoughtleadership #conferencerecap

Why do so many medical device product development projects fail? Here’s the secret: it's all about team work, communication, and the product development process. Let’s dive into actionable steps to elevate your product development game. Start with a clear need. → Understand the unmet need you're addressing. → Talk to endusers and stakeholders. Assemble a crossfunctional team. → R&D, Quality, Regulatory, and Manufacturing must be in sync. → Each function brings unique insights and expertise. Design with compliance in mind. → Regulatory requirements should guide the design process. → Avoid costly redesigns and delays by integrating these early. Prototyping and iteration. → Develop multiple prototypes and test rigorously. → Fail fast, learn faster. Risk management. → Identify potential risks from the outset. → Implement robust risk mitigation strategies. Documentation and traceability. → Maintain meticulous records throughout the development lifecycle. → Ensure every change is traceable and justified. Change Control. → Confirm that the product meets design and regulatory requirements. → Conduct thorough verification and validation. Prepare for market launch. → Develop a comprehensive gotomarket strategy. → Ensure your team is ready for postmarket surveillance. Remember, successful product development is not just about innovation. It's about meticulous planning, crossfunctional collaboration, and unwavering commitment to quality and compliance. What steps have you found crucial in your product development journey? Share your insights below!

“3 Peats” are rare “4 Peats” are unheard of… Yet Bill Hunter and his incredibly talented team at Canary Medical Inc. have done just that. The news below related to their spinal fusion technology makes four straight (knee, hip, shoulder and now spine) products which have been granted “Breakthrough Designation” by the FDA. Bill was quoted in the presser as saying that it was an “unparalleled accomplishment in the industry”. That’s putting it mildly. This feat is beyond remarkable. Most great companies are fortunate to have one such pelt for the wall. Much less four! The Digital Health market is very challenging at present. Funding is scarce. So are proven value propositions. However, Canary Medical Inc. serves as a shining example of what is possible in this market when stakeholder interests are strategically aligned around the patient. Something tells me (perhaps a little birdie???) that this won’t be the last we hear from Canary Medical Inc. either. The potential applications for their data driven solutions are endless. THIS is the future of medicine. 👏

Bringing TechMed to Medtech. The current leaders and construct of the industry is not built to aggregate in a non-partisan way the digital transition that we all talk about. Mouthing the words is one thing, taking the action and getting the entire industry to buy in is another. What company / companies are best positioned with the subject matter expertise, infrastructure, previous experience in transitioning an otherwise fragmented industry into a focused effort? We had the conversation with Addie H., Bryn Davies, @Boaz Lifschitz, at LSI Lisbon last month.
