Medical technology and environmental protection may seem far removed from one another, but the future demands environmentally friendly solutions in healthcare. But how do you develop sustainable medical devices that are safe and environmentally friendly? In this blog post, we take a look behind the scenes and show how to combine high-tech with environmental responsibility.

Implementing digital production, IIoT, industrial metaverse and AI is often difficult. This blog series shows successful examples from various industries. In this blog post, I answer the questions of why digital production is important, what added value it offers and why implementation in production is often more complex than in other areas of the value chain.

Many pharmaceutical and healthcare companies would like to implement and publish apps for their patients and customers. However, they fear being categorised as a medical device. In this blog post, I explain how medical device experts can ensure that such a categorisation is avoided.

If a piece of software is designed by the vendor for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, it is regarded as a medical device under the law. That means that the manufacturer must comply with all applicable laws and hence all guidelines set out in the different standards there are. In my blog post, I will describe how the expectations described in the standards and regulations can be presented and grouped to ensure it is possible to examine and document them as part of a larger overall process.

In an increasingly digitalised world where data is transmitted to other countries, it is essential that personal data is protected. This is especially true when it comes to the cross-border transfer of health data. In this blog post, I will explain what impact the Data Privacy Framework has on the transfer of health data between the EU and the US and what effect this has on how digital health apps are run.

Working on and supporting projects in the life sciences sector means dealing with a whole host of regulatory requirements. In this blog post, I will provide an overview of which standards, regulations, laws and guidelines might be involved and what impact they have on project management.

Lab 4.0 is garnering a lot of attention at the moment – and rightfully so. It is more than just a passing trend; it marks a major leap forward in both technology and how we think on a societal level. But what exactly is lab 4.0? What are the goals being pursued with its rollout and what is the timeline on when they might be achieved? I explore these questions in my latest blog post.

Laboratories are working hard today to solve the problems created by the exponential increase in data. One promising approach is single source of truth (SSOT). In this blog post, I will explain the underlying concept behind SSOT as well as the advantages it brings.
