The term Health Technology

The term health technology (health tech) covers all players in the health value chain whose products or services serve to prevent health problems, support diagnosis, improve the quality of life, or improve or stabilize the health of patients. The health value system also includes providers of intermediate products and services that ultimately enable companies and organizations to provide their services to patients.

The Medical Devices Regulation has been brewing for some time, with drafts published in 2016 and the final version in May 2017. The transition period for the Medical Devices Regulation ends on 26 May 2020, after which all non-compliant manufacturers will be barred from selling and distributing their products on the EU market. Manufacturers who are not aware that their products will be classified higher run the risk of not having the relevant follow-up and clinical data to submit to the notified body to ensure certification in accordance with the Medical Devices Regulation by the deadline.
