BEFORE / AFTER

What changed from existing technology?

Previous limitation

This study looks at how to combine different types of evidence and do studies that connect different medical devices, especially those that are high-risk or new, to help make better decisions about their use.

→
This research

The study identifies new approaches for integrating different types of evidence and conducting bridging studies for high-risk and innovative medical devices, which are not commonly addressed in traditional clinical evaluation methods.

INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY

What could change if this succeeds?

07 · ONE MORE POSSIBILITYOne possibility beyond the paper

The methodologies identified in this study could support regulatory decision-making and health technology evaluation for high-risk and innovative medical devices, especially when traditional clinical trials are not feasible.
