There is a massive impression in the academy sector that there is an easy transition between ideas and market. The second common idea is that selling a patent is also easy.  Where and what is the key to success in developing a medical device? The development of a medical device is not only the implementation of a technology that solves a problem for the health-related personnel but the combination of the idea with the discipline of following a quality system evaluation, the required documentation processes, the planning for the organization of a technical service and pre- and post-market activities, among many other factors. A poorly implemented good idea can lead to a high level of frustration and, above all, have dire consequences in patients' lives. A summary of the development processes for developing a medical device will be presented, pointing out the most critical elements to consider based on examples of our experience in various projects carried out with positive and negative results.

This seminar will take place in person in the Seminar Room - The use of face masks is highly recommended.
