Objectives
The purpose of the Health & MedTech Innovation Workshop “An Introduction to Product Development and Quality Management Systems for Health/MedTech” is to equip healthcare innovators, including healthcare professionals, researchers, engineers and budding healthcare entrepreneurs with knowledge relating to the product development competency (intermediate) under the Health and Medtech Innovation Skills and Competencies whitepaper.This workshop will provide learners with perspectives encompassing the development of a health and medtech product, de-risking innovation and implementing quality management systems.By the end of this module, you should be able to :-Analyse and articulate key design requirement specifications-Assess technology to design and develop functional proof-of-concept prototypes, and determine what tests are required to de-risk the project-Respond and manage potential product development risks, develop a mitigation plan and manage risks-Collaborates with different internal stakeholders (e.g., engineers and scientists) to define product requirements, develop prototype and validate results-Understands the required regulatory and quality requirements, i.e., guidance documents, standards for different kinds of innovation projects; Able to design and carry out necessary tests and documentation.-Apply basic quality management standards to ensure adherence to ISO standards in the early product development stagesAt the end of this module, you should be able to:-Demonstrate ability to apply design thinking and needs analysis to unmet healthcare/clinical needs.-Articulate the necessary needs research by drafting a preliminary needs specification document-Apply ideation strategies to brainstorm possible healthcare solutions and where it would meet gaps in the patient/user journey-Screen concepts using relevant parameters pertinent to the innovation.-Assess technology to design and develop functional proof-of-concept prototypes
