Product Development Methodologies Battle
Ever wondered if your choice of medical device product development methodology could make or break your medical device success story?
In this special 200th episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, brace yourself for a gripping debate. Are you Team Waterfall, clinging to tradition, or do you dare to embrace the innovation of Team Agile?
Here's the kicker: Does the name of your chosen methodology really matter, or is it the secret sauce within the processes that propels your project to victory? Join host Jon Speer and Prodct's founder, Devon Campbell, as they peel back the layers on these provocative questions, potentially reshaping the way you view medical device development methodologies!
Actionable Lessons from the NIH “RADx” Initiative
Episode 177 of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Jon Speer and Devon Campbell examine the groundbreaking Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative, a visionary project initiated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). RADx was designed to fast-track the development, commercialization, and deployment of cutting-edge COVID-19 testing technologies, with a focus on reducing viral detection cycles and enhancing widespread access to reliable testing.
Devon shares personal lessons learned while actively supporting RADx teams in their tireless efforts throughout the pandemic, distilling five actionable lessons that can be seamlessly applied by medical device companies to drive innovation and success across the industry.
Diving in to Address PPE Shortages
One of the positive developments to unfold during the COVID-19 pandemic has been the incredible work to meet urgent needs for medical supplies. The non-profit MasksOn.org is one such effort, and it has taken a creative approach to filling gaps in personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies, in both device design and business strategy. The project also served as a blueprint for innovators and startups on how to innovate quickly while developing viable manufacturing and regulatory pathways to market.
Here in Episode 2 of the Let’s Talk Medtech Podcast, Sanjay Vakil, Devon Campbell, Ken Block, and Jon Speer talk with host Daphne Allen about the the MasksOn.org project and how they rapidly brought their unique skills and networks together to bring their modified snorkeling mask to caregivers without proper PPE — all with amazing speed. So many great lessons here about rapid creation, scale-up, and growth for early stage medical device companies.
Holistic Product Development
The Being An Engineer Podcast is a meant to be a tool through which engineers learn other engineers about technologies, resources, and challenges that face engineers today.
Host Aaron Moncur of Pipeline Design and Engineering talks to Devon Campbell in Season 1, Episode 13 where they explore why photography appeals to engineers, truly understanding how things are made makes one a much better design engineer, the human side of engineering and balancing emotional intelligence (EQ) with intelligence quotient (IQ), taking a holistic view to meet the needs of downstream stakeholders while building value for your startup, and much more!
Can AI/ML Produce Better Medical Devices?
Trust and transparency can get murky when it comes to AI and ML decisions in medical devices. What’s really going on below the surface?
In episode 146 of the Global Medical Device Podcast Jon Speer talks to Devon Campbell and Anthony Habayeb, co-founder and CEO of Monitaur.ai about clearing the water a bit to explore how AI and ML can be utilized to produce better, safer, smarter, and faster medical devices.
MasksOn.org - Protecting Clinicians. Saving Lives.
MasksOn.org was an amazing grass roots, non-profit effort created to mass-produce reusable, sanitizable emergency masks and distribute it to those clinicians who did not have access to FDA-approved PPE at the start of the pandemic. Over 36,000 safe, reusable, sanitizable EUA face shields were shipped to clinicians in dire need… all without any cost to them.
In episode 114 of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Jon Speer talks to Sanjay Vakil and Devon Campbell to discuss the impactful efforts being made at that time through the MasksOn.org initiative to providing personal protective equipment and relief at no cost during the coronavirus pandemic. All three were deeply involved in the effort and recorded this podcast with hopes that medical device startups may find valuable lessons within the story.
Solving the Medtech “Value Equation” with Quality Data
Which medical technology, product, or device are you focused on bringing to market that will positively impact and improve the quality of life? What are the obstacles and challenges you can expect to experience? How will you overcome those?
In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer and Devon Campbell discuss a “Value Equation” for MedTech companies to consider when elevating and escalating quality to improve value.
When should you start a QMS?
Early-stage startups often wonder when the right time is to consider a quality management system (QMS)? Is it ever too soon to start a QMS? In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer and Devon discuss the importance of timing when starting a QMS for medical device companies.
Creating a Culture of Quality
Is creating a culture of quality a top priority at your MedTech company? Hopefully, the answer is a resounding “YES!” If it’s not, perhaps YOU can get it started but you may not sure how or when to start.
In this sixth episode of the podcast “Medtech True Quality Stories”, Devon Campbell and host Jon Speer share their thoughts on the topic of “quality culture” within companies.
