"Overcoming Barriers in the Medical Device Value Chain"

Learn actionable strategies to overcome bottlenecks, add value across the medical device lifecycle, and bring innovative solutions to market. This Masterclass was developed from the research presented in a publication: “From Idea to Market in the Local Medical Device Value Chain: A Conceptual Framework” (IEEE Engineering Management Review).

This masterclass, led by Dr. Faatiema Salie of Second Sight, introduces a practical framework to overcome barriers in the Medical Device Value Chain (MDVC). Using a matrix-based tool, participants will learn how to identify bottlenecks, implement value-adding activities, and achieve desirable effects in their innovation journey.

• Learn to identify and address bottlenecks in the MDVC.
• Gain practical insights into value-adding activities across all stages of the value chain.
• Use a matrix-based tool to design strategic interventions.
• Enhance your ability to navigate regulations, build partnerships, and bring products to market

Ideal for healthcare innovators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and professionals looking to navigate the complexities of medical device development and commercialisation.

• Introduction to the MDVC framework and value chain analysis.
• Bottlenecks, undesirable effects, and strategic alleviations.
• Value-adding activities across MDVC phases: Idea Generation; Research & Development; Production/Manufacturing; Market Entry; Distribution & Use; and Waste Management.
• Systemic value-adding activities for long-term success.
• Practical application of the matrix-based tool.

This Masterclass is available either as a live online session or as an in-person group workshop. For inquiries about customizing the Masterclass to suit your specific needs, please feel free to contact me at faatiemasalie@gmail.com.
