The patient journey is unique to each patient, but organizing these journeys according to macro-level similarities for a given condition can pinpoint opportunities for therapy intervention and create far more effective market development and commercialization strategies.
Despite the best efforts of those directly responsible for data integrity, human error will still find its way into the equation and undermine the efforts. The potential for human error is directly and indirectly impacted by the corporate culture, the national/regional culture, and the quality culture of an organization.
Reimbursement rates have not risen as rapidly as device and medical supply costs, putting cost pressures on hospitals. This, in turn, increases pricing pressure on device manufacturers, as consolidated health systems have more negotiating power.
This article -- the second in a two-part series -- examines how to navigate the complex problem of optimizing data quality while controlling for study costs and time constraints when employing independent HFE testing agencies.
Advances in sensors, smartphones, communications, and analytics give developers new tools to build creative and powerful applications that promise to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
As component sizes for medical devices shrink to micron size, conventional machining may not be the most efficient or consistent method for manufacturing. Learn why Micro-MIM is preferred for components with tight tolerances at high volumes.
Sustaining engineering enables the developer to plan ahead, getting the development and design of the device done right the first time, and smoothing the transition to manufacturing. KMC's executive director of engineering, Scott Leon, weighs in on the subject.
The business pain of switching suppliers, both in terms of costs and revalidation time, heightens the importance of making the right decision the first time.
Micromolding requires a high level of intimacy and attention to detail to be successful over the long run, so it’s important to work with micromolder with the capability, scalability, and sustainability to get a product from the design stage all the way to high-quality mass production.
Proto Labs is proud to introduce PolyJet technology to their 3D printing capabilities. PolyJet technology is used to provide designers and engineers with the ability to manufacture elastomeric and overmolded prototypes without investing in tooling.
