Patient engagement capacity and capability is becoming a core strategy and a competency that helps drive solutions and innovation for patients and the healthcare industry.
But how about Medtech?
Are we ready to face the consequences of NOT involving patients in future product development and launches in the ever-evolving healthcare landscape?
