What are Contract Research Organizations? For any Medtech company, working with CRO’s allow them to outsource work that would otherwise require significant capital to do internally. CRO’s let you avoid buying expensive equipment and hiring or training staff for a short-term project. Having independent oversight is critical to ensuring compliance, keeping your clinical research trial on track and bringing your device to market faster. For this reason, many companies hire a clinical research organization (CRO) to monitor, audit, and even manage their trial. Medical device trials in particular bring complex compliance challenges, so having a CRO with specific expertise in this area can be tremendously beneficial. How can you be sure you hire a medical device CRO that is committed to ensuring compliance and is as invested in your success as you are?
In this episode of DeviceAlliance’s Medtech Radio, we speak with the Director of Regulatory Affairs at Inari Medical, Sarah Boundy Wong and Vice President Clinical Affairs & Market Dev. at JenaValve Technology, Inc., Vinny Podichetty. Join us as we discuss the best-shared practices and methodologies for selecting a medical device CRO, where does one find CROs, the biggest selection considerations, and lessons learned from both of their professional experiences.

It has been said that it takes an average of 4.6 years and tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to get a medical technology through R&D, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and Clinical Research before it is successfully commercialized and sees wider acceptance and adoption. That is a very long lead time and hundreds of thousands of hours of hard work too.
So why do Medtech companies miss the Market Access question?
Join us as we have a discussion with Claudia Graham on how companies can think differently, scientifically, and strategically to bring great technologies to patients sooner. Claudia Graham is a former Senior Vice President, Global Access at Dexcom; and has 20 years of experience in medical device market access, marketing, and product development.
To celebrate our 4th Annual Women in OC Medtech Event, we will be doing an interview with event panelist Marinela Gombosev. Marinela is CEO of Evoke Neuroscience, a data and diagnostics company focused on reducing the number of people living with treatable cognitive impairment. After immigrating into the United States as a war refugee from Bosnia at the age of 14, she went on to complete her undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine and received an MBA from Pepperdine University where she was recognized as a “Top 40 under 40” alumna. In 2015, Marinela was inducted into the University of California, Irvine School of Engineering Hall of Fame as the youngest recipient of this award. She has spent her entire 15 year career in regulated industries, the most recent 10 of which have been in medical devices.
In this episode of DeviceAlliance’s Medtech Radio, we discuss her experience coming to the US, the importance of why soft skills in leadership are essential in these times, the impact of Alzhimers’s Disease and Evoke Neuroscience’s solution for cognitive impairment, what women can do to prepare themselves for success during these times, and much more!

After giving birth to her second child in 2011, JillBigelow was frustrated that her hospital’s solution for her pelvic discomfort was ice in a rubber glove, gauze underwear and pain medication. After scouring both the medical and maternity markets, Bigelow was surprised to discover there was no singular product that truly addressed all her physical ailments as a new mom. With her entrepreneurial spirit, she set out to design a product for modern mamas that helped them heal their bodies from the physical damage of pregnancy and childbirth. In 2013, her prototype was classified by the FDA and in 2014, she celebrated the launch of her company PELV-ICE™ and its first medical device of many, the Mama Strut™.
In this episode of DeviceAlliance’s Medtech Radio, we speak with the Founder of PELV-ICE LLC, JillBigelow. Join us as we discuss her journey as a medtech founder and how she identified a huge gap in women’s health care, the importance of marketing/brand awareness, and lessons learned through her entrepreneurial challenges.

Eradicating the enduring social stigma related to mental health conditions is uniquely challenging. The nature of mental health services can make it difficult to develop medical device technology that successfully intervenes in human behavior and actually creates measurable, positive outcomes. Many times the most difficult task is to simply have the conversation. One inspiring woman is, and she is the recipient of our first DeviceAlliance Women STEM Scholarship Award.
In this episode of DeviceAlliance’s Medtech Radio, we interview Joanne Ly. She serves as Multimedia Director and Associate Editor at GPS-Biomed and is a doctoral student at UCI.

Is Blockchain the Next Great Disruptor in the Medical Device Industry?
Blockchain has the potential to transform how medical devices are created, controlled, managed, and acted upon throughout the life of the device. As businesses continue to grapple with core IoT complexity and security problems, it is becoming obvious that blockchain-based solutions have merit and bring real value to the table. Yet the irony is a large proportion of the medical device companies have neither the knowledge nor appetite for blockchain.
In this episode of DeviceAlliance’s Medtech Radio, we speak with IP Lawyer and Blockchain Technology Expert, Bridget Smith. Join us as she breaks down the complex topic of blockchain while tackling tough questions including…
– Why should I care about blockchain as a medical device professional?
– How will blockchain permanently change the medical device industry?
– Is blockchain the “silver bullet” that will protect information?
