2024/01/21  BTBA- Medical Device
2024的第一個月會!!!!
隨著當今各種新藥百花齊放,醫療器材的創新進展也是醫療產業中不可忽視的一塊。從更精準快速的診斷分析,到各種影像技術,或是日新月異的醫材器械都提供了醫師以及病人更多元的治療手段。不過到底什麼才算是醫療器材? 醫療器材的開發與規範跟新藥研發有哪些相似之處?BTBA一月月會邀請了在醫療器材產業界有多年經驗的John Perng以及Philip Chiu。他們將解答大家的各種疑問,以及洞悉醫療器材產業的動向與未來發展。

Amid the rapid growth of new drugs today, innovation in medical devices is also an indispensable aspect of the healthcare industry. From more precise and expedited diagnostic analyses to various imaging technologies, and the continually advancing landscape of medical materials and equipment, these breakthroughs offer physicians and patients a more diverse array of treatment options. However, what precisely defines a medical device? How does its development and regulation compare to the research and development of new pharmaceuticals? In the upcoming January BTBA panel discussion, we are pleased to invite John Perng and Philip Chiu, both with extensive experience in the medical device industry. They will address various questions about medical devices and provide insights into the trends and future developments of the medical device industry.
