How to scale up (and not screw up) printed electronics enabled wearable device piloting

Developing wearables devices especially for the medical applications is a long and complex process with many potential pitfalls. One emerging approach to de-risk the development phase of medical devices are dedicated pilot line services which pool the know-how of RTOs and companies in a particular field. These partnerships, forged through experience and collaboration, help assess the technology readiness of start-ups and companies in relatively short and in a structured process. Some of the most critical assets pilot lines can provide are independent design reviews to evaluate the technology maturity of a customer's solution, identify critical steps to reduce risks, and spot potential technology gaps.
As an example, this masterclass will highlight VTT’s role and partnerships in the MedPhab pilot line which focusses on pilot line services to speed up the development of photonic medical devices. One of the standout features of MedPhab is its "Front Office," a single entry point that gives customers access to the expertise of six leading European RTOs and industrial partners. The masterclass aims at being a hands-on guide, describing the process on how to engage with a suitable pilot line, walk through the steps of design review process and how to successfully work with the relevant RTOs and companies on turning a new product vision into reality. Scale up, don’t screw up.
