Ortho-tag’s Post

Great News! Ortho-tag's OPS, an advanced alert diagnostic tool for joint infection, has been selected for the MedTech Innovator Road Show 2024! "We are proud to announce that Ortho-tag, a pioneer of in-body communication and biosensing on the nanoscale, has been chosen to compete among 80 companies. Selected from a pool of more than 1,400 applicants Ortho-tag will present during the global MedTech Innovator Road Tour in April, 2024. MedTech Innovator is the largest accelerator of medical technology companies in the world, supporting companies that are transforming the healthcare system. The Ortho-tag team will present its in-body, battery-free, communication and advanced alert diagnostic tool for Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI). PJI is a serious post-operative complication that is a potential life-threatening risk for the patient and a challenge for early detection. Ortho-tag’s pH nanosensor, designed to attach to, or integrate with, an orthopaedic implant, measures and stores the pH level surrounding a joint replacement, serving as an early indicator of potential infection. A proprietary external reader powers and transmits the pH reading to a digital interface, providing clinicians with a real-time observation of pH changes that improve decision making and enhance patient outcomes." #medicaldevices #diseasemanagement #funding #healthcare #biosensing #venturecapital #digitalhealth

In a recent interview with MedTech Strategist, MDIC leaders Andrew Fish, Chip Hance, and Andrew Cleeland discussed how the broad bandwidth of MDIC's partnerships with industry and regulators—and the opportunities these relationships provide for companies of all sizes—offer valuable insights for companies navigating #regulatory and #reimbursement pathways. https://lnkd.in/egkDH9JF

🌟 What an incredible event we had yesterday on navigating "The Medical Device Road-to-Market"! 🌟 A huge thank you to our distinguished speakers from Lymphatica Medtech (Marco Pisano), Euresearch (Irina Sakharova Quitt), Swiss Medtech association (Daniel Delfosse), and F+R services (Mayella Favre) for sharing their invaluable insights! 👏 Here are some personal takeway from the event: 1. Financing Clinical Studies: It's essential to target a large addressable market (>500M USD/year) and gather support from clinical communities and strategic partners. Beyond venture capital, Horizon Europe funding can significantly aid in financing these studies. 2. Regulatory Challenges: The phrase "US innovates," "Asia manufactures," and "EU regulates" highlights the unique landscape. However, EU regulations introduce significant uncertainties regarding time and cost. EU regulators need to understand that patient safety is not just about product safety but encompasses product safety, availability, and innovation! 3. Achieving Reimbursement: Gaining CE certification is just the beginning. The next phase—securing reimbursement—requires navigating a complex process involving a different set of stakeholders. So bringing a medical device to market is a long and challenging journey that demands extensive planning and the engagement of a diverse range of stakeholders at various stages. The event truly underscored that the success of innovation extends well beyond mere technological advancements. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success. Looking forward to more such enriching sessions in the future! #Medtech #Innovation #RoadtoMarket #MedicalDevices #VDtech Innovaud

Insightful Day at the Swedish Medtech Summit 2023! Together with my colleague Jennie Johansson, I had the privilege to attend the Swedish MedTech Summit 2023, where we delved into the latest trends, challenges, and innovations shaping the MedTech and Life science industry. The event shed light on the profound impact of AI on healthcare, the evolving regulatory landscape, and the remarkable journey of Elekta in navigating Regulatory Affairs. In the dynamic period between 2018 and 2022, our industry faced unprecedented challenges, from economic shifts to a global pandemic. These changes have catalyzed innovation, urging companies to rethink and revolutionize healthcare solutions. The future calls with colossal challenges — providing robust support for a growing elderly population and fortifying healthcare systems against overwhelming demand. AI emerges as a pivotal solution, demanding unparalleled quality assurance for the deployment of functional and reliable products. A congratulation to Elekta for achieving full compliance with MDR from June 2023. Their success is a testament to the power of teamwork, dedication, and passion. At Together Tech, we aspire to be at the forefront of developing future products for a better world. Drawing from our extensive expertise, we are committed to supporting the MedTech industry's evolving needs. Whether it's navigating regulatory landscapes, ensuring quality, or driving innovation, Together Tech stands ready to contribute to the transformative journey ahead.  #MedTech #HealthcareInnovation #TogetherTech #FutureOfHealthcare
