A multidisciplinary approach to online support for device research translation : regulatory change and clinical engagement

© 2020 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine..

OBJECTIVES: To promote medical device EU regulatory understanding in the biomedical research community and encourage greater levels of clinical engagement to further medical device research innovation, translation and effective clinical trials.

METHODS: An interdisciplinary, iterative, needs-based design approach was used to develop medical device regulatory training, information and clinical expertise resources.

RESULTS: A multimedia based self-paced e-Learning course focusing on the 'Fundamentals of Medical Device Design and Regulation' was produced in tandem with an interactive online web portal: Medtech Translate.

CONCLUSIONS: Health research translation relies on both clinical input and regulation to drive progress and to ensure quality and safety standards from concept development to clinical investigation. A lack of regulatory awareness and access to clinical expertise has the potential to significantly impact on health research translation and ambition for market. Our interdisciplinary academic-regulator-clinical-industry led approach meets the need for a coordinated stakeholder response to support innovation and promote growth in the medical technology sector.
