Accelerating your innovation in medTech devices webinar

This event explored some of the key challenges to growth in the Medical Technology (MedTech) sector and highlighted how the SCOUT programme had supported companies in accelerating their journey from invention, through innovation, to commercialisation.

Scotland has long been recognised for its innovation in healthcare, and the event examined the significant opportunities available to Scottish-based innovators developing the next generation of digitally enabled MedTech solutions. Demand for devices that improve patient quality of life while maintaining high standards of speed, accuracy and safety had continued to grow. Advances in data and connectivity had also created new opportunities for cutting-edge healthcare and the development of advanced connected devices. However, the healthcare industry had faced several barriers to the adoption of MedTech technologies, including stringent regulations, lengthy development cycles and costly approval processes.

The webinar provided attendees with valuable insights into what it took to advance MedTech innovation and meet the demands of an evolving market.
