SUMMARY:Engineering Medical Innovation for Scale - InFact x SETT x NIHR Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Are you a MedTech innovator\, researcher\, or clinician working to bring a device\, diagnostic or treatment technology to market? Do you find yourself curious about how to bridge the gap between promising science and a scalable\, trial-ready solution?\n  \nJoin inFact\, the NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Accelerated Surgical Care\, and the Southampton Emerging Therapies and Technologies (SETT) Centre for a practical webinar exploring how engineering expertise\, rigorous process\, and the right partnerships can dramatically accelerate MedTech commercialisation — and what that looks like in practice. \nThis webinar is hosted by inFact\, a New Zealand-based MedTech engineering company with a mission to halve the time it takes for medical innovations to reach market. With teams spanning mechanical design\, embedded systems\, industrial design\, software\, materials science\, and regulatory compliance\, inFact partners with innovators globally to take science from the benchtop to clinical trials and beyond. \n  \nWhat we’ll cover:\nReflections on the MedTech innovation and the challenges facing innovators today \nA deep-dive case study: how inFact partnered with the University of Auckland to transform a complex laboratory process into a clinical trial-ready oxidative stress detection device and consumable\, all while the science was still being developed \nThe systematic engineering approach inFact applies across all MedTech projects: de-risking\, staged development\, regulatory alignment\, and clinician-centred design \nAn interactive discussion to understand where UK innovators are experiencing the most friction on their commercialisation journey and how partnerships can help \nThis session is designed to be practical and participatory. Come ready to share your challenges and co-create solutions. \n  \nWho should attend?\nThis webinar is relevant to MedTech founders and startups\, academic researchers commercialising technology\, NHS clinicians developing devices or diagnostics\, NIHR grant holders\, and innovation managers working across the UK health and life sciences ecosystem. \n  \nAbout InFact\nInFact specialises in working with scientists while the science is still evolving.  They provide design and engineering capabilities in the early stages so you can scale up your clinical and scientific programmes.  Their extensive reach into specialist global suppliers for materials and prototyping processes ensures they can efficiently build equipment needed for cutting-edge science.​ Their capabilities extend to integrating QMS requirements\, reimbursement\, IP strategy\, go-to-market and manufacturing from the earliest phases through to commercialisation. Since 1998\, inFact has provided advanced engineering design services to help commercialise science & research for Medical\, Deeptech and industrial applications and we bring an extensive array of technology solutions to resolving challenges with new innovations. \n  \nAbout NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in Accelerated Surgical Care\nThe HealthTech Research Centre in Accelerated Surgical Care aims to drive HealthTech innovation patients and healthcare systems to deliver socio-economic benefit through quicker diagnosis and treatment of surgical conditions with safe\, early recovery in the community. They focus on supporting the entire surgical pathway\, merging expertise from diagnostics and medtech to move technologies into the NHS faster. Its main goals include providing support for market access and regulatory expertise\, training and capacity building to educate and increase knowledge in relevant fields\, and supporting technologies with high potential for adoption. \n  \nAbout Southampton Emerging Therapies and Technologies (SETT) Centre\nThe SETT Centre was established in 2021 to bring together and focus on three exciting areas within which we can translate cutting edge research and innovation into clinical care and patient outcomes. Since 2021 SETT has supported over 153 research studies. We have grown from a handful of people to a wide network of over 35 people all collaborating at different points along the research pathway to improve patient care. Their vision is to bring life changing cures closer to those who need them\, accelerate clinical testing of innovations and translate technology into clinical care\, and harness cutting-edge data science\, machine learning\, and artificial intelligence into care delivery.
