Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC)

The MDIC Annual Patient Summit gathered patients, industry leaders, and researchers to discuss how patient preference information (PPI) shapes MedTech innovation. Patients shared their perspectives, providing real-world insights into what matters most to them in device design and clinical trials. These discussions highlighted the need to prioritize patient needs and values at every stage of decision-making. By actively listening to patients and using their feedback, the MedTech industry creates solutions that have a meaningful impact.
