MedTech Innovator’s Post

Breaking the barriers to innovation, more expert insights from #SurgTech2024   In a revealing interview, healthcare expert, Graeme L. Smith, CEO of OstomyCure, shed light on the significant challenges posed by funding constraints and complex regulatory landscapes.   According to Graeme, securing adequate funding and navigating the regulations are daunting tasks that can hinder a company to scale up or even move to a new phase like the sustainable product innovations.   Overcoming funding and regulatory barriers by: - Proactively engaging with potential investors, including venture capitalists, angel investors, and strategic partners, can increase access to funding and expertise. - Developing a comprehensive regulatory strategy early in the innovation lifecycle, with expert guidance, can streamline approval processes and mitigate risks. - Leveraging accelerators and incubators. - Forming strategic partnerships with established MedTech companies, academic institutions, and regulatory bodies can facilitate knowledge sharing, resource pooling, and regulatory navigation.   We talk in depth about how you can stay ahead of curve in your innovation journey in our  “10 insights to innovation success” series which you can find here: https://lnkd.in/eSEK4XPH   To learn more about overcoming funding and regulatory barriers in the MedTech industry and how Pd-m can assist your organization, schedule a meeting with our team by visiting https://lnkd.in/etRjUH4C. #adaptability #commercialisation #design #problemsolving #regulations #innovation #barriers #evidence #evaluation #strategy #solution ABHI Medilink North of England Bionow SBRI Healthcare Varaidzo (Vee) Mapunde Andrew Davidson Rich Shaw NIHR for Industry

I drew inspiration from the stories of Orange County’s innovators who've turned challenges into opportunities at last night's Irvine Tech Week 2024: Innovation as a Daily Habit. Do you know what was the #1 theme that impacted innovation? CULTURE. “Innovation is a MINDSET and an APPROACH to work. An attitude that is willing to risk thinking out of the box…” Ash Rangan Shlomi Nachman combined a culture of innovation and a growing market to see 40% year over year gains.  Get “Diversity of thoughts”. Thank you °Arie Shen (Founder, Madas; Fractional CxO, Executive as a Service) and Cara Stewart  (Founder & CEO, Altalunas International) for hosting a great event.

The #MarylandMedTech Summit started off hot yesterday, with an expert panel discussing some trends in MedTech. Highlights from the informative conversation between George Davis, Kyparissia (Kyp) Sirinakis, Robert Storey, Youseph Yazdi, Henry Brem, M.D. Private capital is more risk-tolerant and better for innovation than Public funding in the long run, but it might be a tough fundraising environment in Private markets for the next 12 months. 😬 There's excitement about the potential for integrating medical devices and biology for applications like continuously monitoring the efficacy of drugs, but we have to remain focused on improving access to healthcare by developing devices that deliver real medical value at reasonable prices. Sorry, lasers... As an ecosystem, we also want to retain the amazing local technical, medical, and entrepreneurship talent in the region by increasing support and mentorship resources for startups through incubators, accelerators, and access to capital. Thanks to Stefanie Trop Ph.D., William Bentley, and Martha Wang, Ph.D. for organizing the Summit!
