Every day, medical device manufacturers strive to innovate and develop software systems that make devices smarter. But achieving success with connected care solutions can hit roadblocks because designers must ensure that quality issues such as bugs and cybersecurity vulnerabilities are resolved for each software release. Traces to requirements and testing must prove compliance with a variety of standards and norms. And delivery — by patient or caregiver — must be easy, intuitive, and most important safeguard against misuse.

DeviceTalks
3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, provides the ability to create new products and designs that are incredibly complex and hard to machine. For 20 years, Stryker has been on a journey to use additive manufacturing specifically to produce complex orthopedic implants. As a result, the company has made great strides when it comes to the way that orthopedic implants are designed and produced.
On a recent episode of our DeviceTalks Tuesdays webinar — sponsored by GE Additive, Foster, and Siemens — Stryker executive Naomi Murray detailed the company’s two-decade additive manufacturing journey. Murray, the company’s director of advanced operations for additive technology, described how innovations utilizing 3D printing make healthcare better.

Leveraging the digital infrastructure to align with best practices and accelerate growth
Disruptive market conditions caused by COVID-19 pandemic, self-sufficient manufacturing policies, personalized medicine, value-based care and the new FDA and EU MDR updates have led Medical Manufacturers from large enterprises to small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) to require a flexible digital infrastructure specific for the MD&D industry to increase speed-to-market, improve cost-efficiency, and maintain high quality necessary to achieve regulatory compliance. On this topic James Thompson, explains why digital infrastructure is leading the way in medical device manufacturing advancements and innovation.
How did COVID-19 change the MD&D Manufacturing Industry and which challenges did you face and how?
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global supply chains on a monumental scale, therefore MD&D manufacturers had to quickly adapt and respond with an increased speed to market, while still managing the arduous process of regulatory appr…
An inside look at GSK’s digital twin initiative

Digital twins, functional computerized models of physical objects, are a staple of smart manufacturing. Their use in the pharmaceutical industry, however, is still in an early phase.
GlaxoSmithKline (LON:GSK) is one of the first pharmaceutical companies to announce a digital twin initiative. Partnering with Siemens (ETR:SIE) and Atos (EPA:ATO), GSK has created a real-time simulation of the entire vaccine manufacturing process.
A year in the makingThe project, which launched a year ago, has already shown promise in reducing manufacturing timelines, optimizing product quality and other areas. The use of digital twins has enabled GSK to optimize vaccine-related experiments. “With digital twins, you’re able to do huge amounts of digital experiments and minimize the number of wet experiments that you do,” said Matt Harrison, head of sciences, digital innovati…
The cultural shift to smart manufacturing for medical devices
Medical device manufacturers are experiencing unprecedented challenges. With the global pandemic negatively impacting markets, they are under pressure to produce increasingly complex products, quicker and at lower cost.
To remain competitive in this marketplace, manufacturers must move towards smart manufacturing to increase innovation and enhance processes. To take significant, actionable steps in manufacturing and production processes, enterprises must undergo a cultural shift in the way they use data.

Wireless tech companies such as Qualcomm are predicting download speeds as high as 10 gigabits per second as next-generation 5G cellular networks roll out worldwide.
The open question in medtech is how quickly companies will take advantage of the super-speedy connectivity for their own products.
“5G is about bringing more capacity and speed to the pipes,” said Don Jones, a member of the advisory council at BrightInsight and a veteran of the digital healthcare space. Jones spent more than 11 years building Qualcomm’s healthcare group.
“What you have to analyze is, ‘Can healthcare take advantage of what essentially amounts to these bigger pipes?’ Because more data can be shoved through them with m…
