Mission & Purpose

At MDIC, we unite in a shared mission to improve health and save lives by accelerating access to medical technologies.

MDIC advances the scientific and technical foundations of medical device design, manufacturing, regulation, reimbursement, and clinical integration through collaboration with key stakeholders. We create solutions to challenges faced by manufacturers, researchers, regulators, and healthcare providers. Our focus is on advancing quality design, evidence generation, digital technology, and patient engagement to deliver impactful results.

 

MDIC works on science, not policy

Our work improves regulatory pathways, advances medical device quality, enhances patient safety and access, and facilitates the development of better evidence for approval, coverage, and utilization decisions.
