Abstract

This is part seven of The Evidence Space episode 'Healthcare regulation: keeping up with new technologies' with guests Eleonora Harwich and Claudia Martinez.

The second part of our two-part podcast – driving forward the standard of care using cutting-edge technology while maintaining safety and performance standards.

In healthcare, there remains a gap between the review of regulations and meeting them in a practical sense. Manufacturers need to fully describe the intended use of their device to allow them to identify the rules that apply, and the compliance that needs to be demonstrated. On this week’s episode, we continued the conversation with Eleonora Harwich and Claudia Martinez on healthcare regulation. We discuss advice, guidance, and challenges on policy and regulation, keeping up with healthcare technologies while meeting healthcare regulations, and more.
