NOVA Medical School (NMS) and the Pedro Nunes Institute (IPN) have established a partnership to strengthen the institutions' ability to attract new partners or clients for their services in the field of medical devices.
To publicize the workings of this partnership to the industry, a unique event in Portugal was held on June 28, 2024 to explain to companies the journey involved in developing medical devices or IVDs, all the way through to commercialization. This event also served to demonstrate the functionality of the partners (IPN, NMS and TÜV-SÜD) to companies.
TÜV-SÜD is the leading European notified body for the certification of CE-marked medical devices.
Through NOVA CRU, Nova Medical School supports companies and startups during the clinical research phase, with the following services: design and planning of the clinical research/performance study, development of the clinical research protocol, preparation and submission of clinical trials or studies (CS) to the competent authorities, monitoring and management, data analysis, technovigilance, and construction of computer software that responds to the specificities of Clinical Research.
IPN, through its Medical Devices Regulatory Unit, offers specialized services in regulation and compliance, helping companies navigate the regulatory journey that is necessary for the development and commercialization of new technologies.
