Statisticians and The Role of Data in the MedTech Lifecycle
The process of getting medical devices approved and to market starts with obtaining data from clinical trials. This data is crucial to providing key evidence of your innovation’s impact on patients. But what happens if your data analysis doesn’t tell the right story?
Hiring an expert statistician early in the clinical and regulatory process can be the critical difference between getting your device approved by a regulatory body, such as the FDA. These experts can help you identify what device features are most easily validated versus which have a less certain journey to success in a clinical trial. By bringing in statisticians early, it can save your organization time and money.
Statisticians in the MedTech field identify what data to collect, how to analyze it, and how to present the results. Their role is to help your team present data in such a way as to focus the FDA’s attention on the device’s performance, preventing lost time on any unnecessary distractions or deficiencies. With the right data, the first time, your device will have a greater success of receiving clearance from the regulatory body.
