Regulation and Health-Economic Value Assessment: Two Determinants of Success for New Medical Technologies 

March 08, 2017 | 10-11 am PT

A recording of this webinar will be made available within a week of the live session.

To successfully bring a new medical technology to market, innovators must obtain regulatory approval and reimbursement for their device.

Join Stanford’s Dr. Jan Pietzsch as he discusses the current regulatory and payer environment, as well as the growing need to assess and demonstrate the value proposition of new medical technologies early in the innovation process.

 

You will learn:
  • The changing medtech eco-system in the U.S. and abroad
  • The relevance and requirements of regulation and health technology assessment in bringing a new technology from bench to bedside
  • Methods used to evaluate new technologies, and the challenges and opportunities they create for medical technology innovators

About the Speaker

Jan-Pietzsch.jpgJan Pietzsch's professional and academic work focus on early-stage technology assessment and strategic decision-support for investors, manufacturers, and research institutions. A primary emphasis is on the early evaluation of the value proposition of new technologies to provide quantitative input into the selection of the most promising technology concepts and their targeted development. This includes model-based assessment of the clinical and health-economic benefit of new diagnostics and therapies.
