Ask Me (Almost) Anything…
Because sometimes you just want to ask a little question…
And sometimes, that little question leads to big insights.
Medical device startups face innumerable challenges:
- Long commercialisation timelines with high upfront costs to meet the evidence thresholds for regulators, payers, and providers.
- Navigating highly regulated, evolving systems.
- Establishing reimbursement pathways with insurers and healthcare systems.
- Convincing clinicians, hospitals, and patients to adopt new technologies.
- Competing with established players for market share.
- Managing complex intellectual property (IP) landscapes and infringement risks.
- Plus…building multidisciplinary teams to achieve all these requirements,
- And…doing this across multiple markets, understanding and adhering to international regulations, health systems and cultural differences.
These factors contribute to the notoriously high barriers to entry that define the medtech industry.
It’s remarkable that anyone chooses to start a business in this space—yet many do. Despite the challenges and high failure rates, some companies manage to succeed.
Our MedDev Central Office hours provide an opportunity for medical device innovators, startups and manufacturers to ask that little question that might open big insights.
In Q1 2025, our Office Hours will be held in conjunction with a series of Masterclasses. See our Resources page for further details on topics and how to register.
