Development of medical devices driven by academia-industry collaboration: An internal audit.

Abstract

Rapid and efficient processes are essential for medical device research and development. To address this need, we established an open innovation research and development platform involving clinicians, manufacturers, sales companies, and experts in intellectual property and regulatory, aiming to develop new medical devices for minimally invasive treatment. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively and internally evaluate the research and development activities and outcomes of this platform
