The purpose of this session is to provide an overview on the global innovation ecosystem, its inter-linked critical process flows, and the impact of clinicians on development and commercialization of new products to address unmet clinical needs. This session will present an overview on healthcare innovation and how it influences both the medical device industry and clinical settings based on historical perspectives, technological advancements, and shifts in market trends. Clinicians have a direct impact on the voice of the customer (VOC) process and innovation. Therefore, it is essential to understand the VOC workflow to translate clinical needs into design requirements for innovative medical products and their applications. This session will discuss the critical roles clinicians play during various phases of innovation process and how to enhance partnerships with other stakeholders in the global ecosystem of the medical device industry, regulatory agencies, and healthcare system. These effective partnerships promote stimulating healthcare innovation and lead to successful patient-centric outcomes in dynamic global environments.
