Getting safe and effective digital medical devices to patients (pdf)

Description

This research briefing explores how to develop smart and flexible regulations on digital medical devices as the regulatory framework becomes increasinglyÌýinfluenced by European and international standards.

UCL Public Policy and the UCL European Institute convened a policy roundtable in December 2018 to discussÌýthe challenges of 'getting safe and effective digital medical devices to patients'. Experts from academia, industry, policy and regulators discussed the current challenges for British policymakers in Government and Parliament and if Brexit provides an opportunity for the UK to think about developing an independent vision. As regulations in this field are increasingly developedÌýoutside national frameworks, the UK mustÌýassess how it can continue to shape international harmonisation activities and explore how its national regulatory framework canÌýfoster innovation.
