The afternoon of June 4th was all about MDR and what researchers who develop software should know about it. The symposium was hosted on behalf of the ICAI Stroke Lab and the Imaging Office of the Radiology & Nuclear Medicine department of the Erasmus MC. There was more enthusiasm than anticipated on, which made the room somewhat less suitable. However, instead of looking at this from a negative perspective, it definitely showed the need to open up this MDR box for researchers (both within and outside the Erasmus MC). We had some very insightful and practical talks from:
- Sebastiaan Notenboom, showing a generalized overview of the processes that are in place at the Erasmus MC for in house development of medical devices to comply with the MDR
- Vincent van der Meer (MD Project), showing the most important focus areas and pitfalls from the perspective of an external MDR consultancy company
- Jan van den Brand (DataHub), showing how researchers can actually benefit from the MDR
- Danny Ruijters (Philips), showing how to comply with MDR at a medical device company
- Lisa Hoogendam, showing an example of translating research software to clinical practice in the Rehabilitation department
- Wilco Schillemans, showing how in-house software is developed and maintained at the Radiotherapy department
We closed the session with some more insightful (and less insightful ) discussions during the afternoon drinks.
A big thank you to the presenters and attendees!
