Explore the critical role user needs analyses play in medtech product development.
About this Event

An immersive half-day workshop helping medtech researchers and entrepreneurs understand the role of user needs in product development.

Build an essential framework for managing your next medical technology from brilliant idea to life-changing product. Returning in 2025 due to popular demand, Unlocking User Needs in Medtech is an immersive, half-day workshop designed to help entrepreneurs, startups, clinicians, and anyone with a brilliant medtech idea understand the how and why of user needs in the product development process.

After a scene-setting presentation you will work in hands-on facilitated breakout groups that will reverse engineer the user needs from familiar medtech devices. You will understand why certain design decisions have been made, and maybe spot opportunities for improved products.

Delivered by experienced medtech commercialisation experts, this workshop promises to be a transformative step in your entrepreneurial journey. You’ll learn effective strategies for crafting a robust user needs analysis that will help guide the development of your technology.

Here’s a what you can expect from the end of the workshop:

  • Unlocking the power of user needs: Understand how user needs serve as the compass guiding your product development journey and regulatory compliance with different regulatory bodies.
  • Expert guidance: Benefit from the wealth of knowledge shared by our facilitators, who have successfully navigated the intricate landscape of MedTech commercialisation. Learn the critical skills required to match needs to solutions, rather than shoehorn solutions into needs.
  • Strategies for crafting a successful product: Gain hands-on expertise in developing a comprehensive user needs analysis, ensuring you’re focused on a winning innovation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to supercharge your medtech journey – a focused and effective medical device starts with clearly identified and documented user needs. Join us and let’s embark on this exciting journey of innovation together!

Unlocking User Needs in Medtech is a half-day workshop delivered in-person at the University of Melbourne, subsidised by the Victorian Medtech Skills and Devices Hub.
