Course Objectives
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to achieve the following enabling learning outcomes according to the relevant innovation skill and competency from the innovation training whitepaper listed below:
Product Development Competency (Basic):
- Demonstrate ability to apply the Biodesign Framework to unmet healthcare/clinical needs and design a needs specification document based on focused research and stakeholder engagement.
- Apply ideation strategies to brainstorm possible healthcare solutions and where it would meet gaps in the patient/user journey and choose and screen based on a fundamental understanding of IP, regulatory, business and reimbursement models
- Define and prepare prototyping plan and early risk assessment.
- Assess technology risks and develop functional proof-of-concept prototypes, and determine what tests are required to de-risk the project
- Collaborates with different internal stakeholders (e.g., engineers and scientists) to define product requirements, develop prototype and validate results.
Regulatory Competency (Basic):
- Conduct preliminary research to determine the regulatory class of a healthcare product as a medical device, drug, combination or IVD.
IP Competency (Basic):
- Explain basic IP anatomy, types of IPs, IP regulations, IP lifecycle, costing and types of IP instruments
- Apply principles of patentability and freedom to operate.
- Prepare a preliminary prior art search to evaluate healthcare innovation idea to inform feasibility
Business Planning Competency (Basic):
- Prepare a preliminary market analysis (top-down and bottom up)
- Apply basic presentation and pitching proficiency
- Have an overview of fundraising and investment landscape (i.e., public and private funding sources and options
Clinical Trial Competency (Basic):
- Apply basics of clinical trial planning: overview, pros and cons of study designs (e.g., RCT), clinical trial ethics guidelines (e.g., HBRA/IRB), timeline of different clinical trial stages, basic statistics concept, and implication of clinical endpoints used
Market Access Competency (Basic)
- Apply principles of coding, coverage and payment
