The medical device industry is one of the most innovative industries today. Dominated by SMBs and startups, competition in this landscape is fierce. During COVID-19, we saw changes to the regulatory approvals system both in the EU and US, in an attempt to bring products to market quickly. The life cycle of a medical device requires constant updating of documentation, quality checks and meeting regulatory guidelines. Medical device experts such as FDA submission consultants, biomedical engineers and regulatory writers work on a freelance basis with companies to make sure products are safe, effective and meet all required standards. Medtech innovators now have a growing global pool of medical device experts that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
