Last Tuesday, Verena Thaler spoke at the Bridging gaps in digital health event organised by Allied For Startups. Alongside MEP Tomislav Sokol, Yiannis Tolias and Gareth Walkom, they highlighted the need for changes in the policy processes of the digital health sector. Speaking at the event, Verena said "We need an effective and clear regulatory framework that supports the delivery of innovative solutions for the benefit of patients." The attendees shared a joined vision for the future of digital health solutions, and a balanced policy environment for innovative technologies in the European market. #DigitalHealth
About us
MedTech Europe’s mission is to make innovative medical technology available to more people, while helping healthcare systems move towards a sustainable path. MedTech Europe encourages policies that help the medical technology industry meet Europe’s growing healthcare needs and expectations. It also promotes medical technology’s value for Europe focusing on innovation and stakeholder relations, using economic research and data, communications, industry events and training sessions. MedTech Europe started as an alliance in October 2012 formed by two organisations - EDMA, representing the European in vitro diagnostic industry; and Eucomed, representing the European medical devices industry. Promoting a balanced policy environment MedTech Europe engages with EU regulators, politicians and other decision-makers to help shape policies to promote innovation for our growing healthcare needs and expectations. Demonstrating the value of medical technology MedTech Europe promotes to its members and the wider industry value-based innovations that support more sustainable healthcare systems. We use economic research to show the benefits of medical technology and we organise many initiatives to explain the value we bring to healthcare systems in Europe. We bring stakeholders together to discuss trends, issues and opportunities.

I am pleased to announce the launch of the #PowerOfMedtech campaign by @MedTech Europe. This initiative underscores the crucial role that medical technology plays in improving people’s lives, supporting healthcare professionals and creating more sustainable healthcare systems. According to recent data, there are over 2,000,000 medical technologies in existence, yet many go unnoticed. It is, therefore, essential to highlight the impactful stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by these innovations.

MedTech Europe, together with 39 national associations, sent an open letter to Commissioner Stella Kyriakides asking for action on the #medtech regulations (IVDR and MDR) to ensure device availability and competitiveness of the sector for medical technologies. We ask for the Commissioner's leadership to make reform of these regulations her priority and to urge her successor to do the same to solve their ongoing serious implementation challenges. Action is needed to reverse the exodus of innovation from Europe and to prevent further discontinuations of medical technology intended to protect patient safety and public health: 1. A package of legislative reforms for each of the two regulations should be developed to ensure that these regulations deliver on their original objectives. 2. Several ‘bridging measures’ are urgently needed to support device availability and the viability of the medical technology industry. 3. Specific measures to improve the implementation of the regulations should continue to be pursued through existing work streams and tools.
