Human subjects research requires compliance with regulations like GCP, Dutch WMO, and MDR. Thorough planning, ethical review, and adherence to guidelines are crucial for health research, especially involving vulnerable subjects.

Implementation Support 

Early consideration of implementation challenges is crucial for technology's societal impact and funding. Our support spans all project stages, ensuring practical assistance throughout.

Regulatory Support 

The European medical device regulations (MDR, IVDR) can impact the execution of Medtech research at the University of Twente. TechMed research support can help reduce the regulatory burden for your studies and provide a smooth transition to clinical practice.

  • Explanation

    Laws like the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In-Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR) set the rules for making and selling medical devices. Your clinical study on medical technology might need to follow these regulations or the Medical Research involving Human Subjects Act (WMO). The research question you choose and how you use the technology can affect which rules apply and how much paperwork you must handle. TechMed Research Support can help you plan your study, stay flexible, reduce risks, and make it easier to bring your work into medical practice

Shared Facilities and Research Infrastructure

TechMed Centre offers access to its research infrastructure, assists in attracting third-party users, provides project support, and training, and shares expertise to enhance research endeavors.

These services (on the intranet) serve as the foundation upon which our researchers build their endeavors, empowering them to push the boundaries of innovation and make meaningful contributions to healthcare and beyond.
