📍Main StageFrom backend to bedside: Practical steps to launch a digital medical device   

Bringing a digital medical device to market in Europe is no small feat: regulatory hurdles, technical infrastructure, hospital procurement processes, and market positioning must align at the right time, in the right way. This workshop is built around one simple idea: give founders and their teams the hands-on clarity they need to move forward with confidence. Join us for a highly-interactive session!
 
What you can expect 
Four digital health experts will share honest, experience-backed insights across the key pillars of a successful market entry: 
  • Regulatory strategy: digital medical device classification, notified body expectations, clinical evidence planning and realistic timelines 
  • Technical readiness: backend architecture, interoperability, data governance, cybersecurity and documentation 
  • Market positioning: crafting the right narrative for hospitals, pharma partners and investors, and avoiding common messaging mistakes 
  • Hospital engagement: structuring pilot projects, navigating procurement and turning early adopters into long-term partners 
Each session includes dedicated Q&A time, so you can dig into the questions that matter most to your specific situation. 
If you're building a digital medical device and want straight talk from people who've been there, this one's for you.
