CE marking for medical device
CE marking is a critical prerequisite for the successful marketing of medical devices in Europe. This mandatory marking indicates that the product meets all applicable EU regulations and is safe for its intended use. Health technology product development nowadays requires a deep understanding of the CE marking process from the early stages of development work, as considering regulatory requirements later can cause significant delays and costs. The new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) has significantly tightened requirements, and companies need even deeper expertise to navigate successfully in the complex regulatory environment. CE marking (Conformité Européenne) is a statutory compliance marking that indicates a medical device meets all applicable EU directives and regulations. Without CE marking, a medical device may not be placed on the market in the European Economic Area. The marking is the manufacturer’s declaration that the product has been designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable […]
User-centered design in health technology
In the world of health technology, technical expertise and innovations are undoubtedly important, but one critical factor is often forgotten: user experience. When a doctor struggles with a complex patient information system in the midst of an urgent situation, or when a nurse cannot find the needed function on a medical device, it is not just a usability problem – it is about patient safety. User-centered design is not merely a buzzword, but a necessity in health technology product development. In healthcare environments, the importance of user-centered design is emphasized in a way that is not seen in other industries. When the user interface is unintuitive or the workflow does not correspond to real usage situations, the consequences can be serious. Poorly designed technology can lead to medication errors, delayed treatment decisions, or even life-threatening situations. From a patient safety perspective, user-centered design serves as the first line of defense against human errors […]
