Biomedical Engineers as Key Factors in Successful Development of Complex Medical Devices

One of the important contributors to the success of a company in developing medical devices that can be established in this highly-crowded market is the ability to grasp a broad view of the market stakeholders and their needs, together with an in-depth understanding of R&D considerations, and clinical and regulatory limitations. Biomedical engineers are often the right choice for such unique abilities. The interdisciplinary education and experience of biomedical engineers allows them to play an important part in the life-cycle of a product, from early stages of development up to its introduction and implementation in the market. To achieve the maximal professional output, biomedical engineers are most suitable to take on focal positions such as System, Regulatory Affairs, Marketing, Product Management, Clinical Affairs etc.

Q Core is a great example to such unique involvement of biomedical engineers throughout the life-cycle of all its existing and upcoming products. The company enjoys the unique skill-set of biomedical engineering in all product development and implementation stages; very often biomedical engineers lead the multi-disciplinary process of product development, and their capabilities allow us to shorten development processes. These engineers are involved in the first stages of market research and product definition, through development project management, V&V and QA processes, up to training, implementation and customer service and support. This is even more emphasized in the development processes of our new product family.
