SESSION 5 (OF 7): Increase the chance of making and implementing a 'successful' product
A majority of promising innovations aimed at healthcare does not reach healthcare practice. Let’s take advantage of knowing this for a fact by learning from these cases and anticipate on potential barriers. In this workshop we focus on the large number of aspects that play an important role by the implementation of ‘successful’ innovations. How could you systematically assess these crucial aspects and how to increase the chance of implementing your innovation (or to increase the chance that you will receive the required financial support for your (follow-up) research? As showing the added value (cost-benefit) of your innovative medical technology has a substantial role in this process, this will be also addressed. Altogether, this session promises to provide you with theoretical and practical guidance to increase your chances of developing and implementing a successful innovation.
This workshop contains the following topics:
- What makes a healthcare technology successful?
- Aspects related to successful development and implementation
- How to assess these aspects?
- Health technology assessment; how to evaluate the “added value” of your innovation?
The purpose of the Workshop Series
This practical workshop series is available for everyone within Twente University that is involved in health technologies. These workshops are relevant for everyone in medical technology, eHealth, in-vitro applications, public health, wellbeing, home care or lifestyle.
This series is practical in nature and tailored to the needs within the University. During the workshops you will learn about regulations, documentation, how to successfully implement your innovation, research on human subjects, research data management and privacy. The workshop are hands-on with easy to use templates so you have everything you need to get started. This documentation is tremendously important if you intend to test your innovation on humans, license it or start a company. The earlier you start building it, the easier it becomes.
