Whether gluing or molding, designers must carefully address each challenge to ensure reliable, consistent, and accurate manufacturing – and to avoid costly redesigns or patient safety risks later.
Hospitals are adding more connected devices than ever before—from patient wearables to asset tracking systems. Yet this digital transformation is being bottlenecked by an antiquated power infrastructure dependent on single-use batteries that create waste, demand constant maintenance, and compromise device reliability.
Converting promising technologies into durable outcomes, experience, and cost at scale with evolving technologies and disruptive innovation.
Seek partners who can see your vision — the full picture, anticipate challenges, and help you navigate complexity with confidence.
The importance of harmonized standards and how they will help the medical device manufacturers in developing devices that are safer and effective.
When hardware and firmware are developed by separate vendors, diagnosing issues like symptoms of non-performance becomes slower and more complex. Unified engineering teams are essential to MedTech success.
How does combining AI with Lean Management significantly improve efficiency in MedTech engineering? AI, much like IDEs or CAD tools before it, is becoming an essential enabler in reducing friction throughout the product development lifecycle—from onboarding and requirements generation to coding and testing—ultimately enhancing both productivity and innovation. By identifying and targeting inefficiencies using Lean principles, MedTech engineering organizations can unlock AI’s full potential to accelerate development and deliver higher-quality healthcare technologies.
The industry’s heavy reliance on waterfall project management has resulted in long, siloed, and high-risk product development cycles. This model does not accommodate evolving regulations, shifting geopolitical realities, or fast-changing healthcare needs.
The European Commission’s Green Deal sets specific sustainability targets across the EU, while policies like the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG) of 2023 are setting standards domestically. TÜV SÜD explains how hospital operators and medical device manufacturers can position themselves sustainably in the market.
How can drug delivery devices manage competing priorities – reducing overall carbon footprint without expense to patient and practitioner safety or treatment efficacy. Sustainability strategies must account for commercial and budgetary pressures.
