Join MedtechWOMEN on Tuesday, April 12th at 4:00pm as we present the keynote panel discussion entitled “Innovative Medical Device Development for Dynamic Market Segments” at MD&M West in Anaheim, CA.

New ideas, new scientific discoveries and new manufacturing technologies not only drive new products, they change how those products are designed and developed. The Covid-19 pandemic placed intense challenges on design and engineering teams, tasking them with rapid product pivots while simultaneously reinventing team work via remote access. Meanwhile, the growth of connected and data driven products is expanding the range of skills and resources needed to produce the average medical device.

This session will be moderated by Kate Stephenson, Principal & Founder, Dyad Engineering. Panelist include Denise Forkey, Human Factors Manager at UserWise Consulting, Kelly Ashfield, COO at Materna Medical, Dorota Shortell, CEO at Simplexity Product Developement, Inc. and Myra Fabro, Principal at Beacon Launch Partners.

Topics will include:

  • Designing products moving into new contexts (home use, public health, workplace health, remote care)
  • Managing the complex requirements, documentation and resources needed to develop “smart” products
  • How to help your design team adapt through workplace changes and changes in client priorities
  • Using your design team as part of your reimbursement, regulatory and supply chain strategy

Join us after the presentation for a networking Happy Hour sponsored by Goddard from 5:00-6:00pm in Room 213.
