How To Enable Your Quality Risk Management Lifecycle

The topics covered in this article represent some of the common risk management pain points and mechanisms to overcome these challenges, focusing on the foundation of quality risk management (QRM). This includes using consistent terminology, determining risk strategy, implementing QRM, and the advantages of early implementation.

Risk-Benefit of Personally Identifiable Information in Extended Reality Medical Applications

The expanding use of extended reality (XR) in medical applications presents a number of unique opportunities and challenges. Due to the extensive reliance on software and networked data, cybersecurity risks must be addressed during the design, development, and use of XR devices. And, of course, compliance with all regulations concerning privacy and control of PII is essential.
5 Tips To Make Your Medical Device Start-Up More Investable

Say “start-up” in the medical device community and the conversation can move quickly to funding. Who will invest? How much? How long will it take? Here are five tips to help a medical device start-up be more interesting, more attractive, more investable – and less risky – to potential funders.
5 Agile Commercial Strategies Medical Device Organizations Should Adopt Immediately

While face-to-face access is once again possible, and access continues to improve, it has not, and will not, return to 100% of pre-pandemic levels. Medical device organizations must evolve their commercial strategies to be more flexible, resilient, and nimble. Hierarchical decision-making and slow time-to-market strategies should be replaced by operational agility as well as a “test-and-learn” culture that demands cross-collaboration and values data-driven solutions.
