The MDG Boston online forum, Identifying Unmet Needs: The Rise of Open Source and DIY Medical Devices, May 14, 2020, 6:00 – 7:30 PM. Patients are increasingly becoming healthcare innovators, responding to unmet needs and increasing access to sophisticated low-cost technology. This online forum will explore the drivers behind this movement and what it tells us about unmet needs and will also seek to understand the benefits to the medical device industry in the form of free R&D and its amplifying effect on in-house development efforts.

If you would like to get in touch with us before, during, or after the forum, please contact us.
