In the fast-evolving world of medical technology, innovation alone isn’t enough. A brilliant device or digital therapeutic can fail if it doesn’t align with the needs of end users, clinical workflows, or regulatory pathways. That’s where market research steps in, not as a luxury, but as a strategic necessity.

As MedTech professionals know, the industry rarely sleeps, but let’s be honest: in August, it definitely takes a nap. With inboxes a little quieter and decision-makers (hopefully) stealing a few hours in the sun, it’s the perfect time for some lighter reflection. So, grab your iced coffee (or something stronger), and let’s talk Post Market Surveys, from the poolside.

Paolo Gambetti, Head of Innovation, recently attended the IIEX Europe Innovation conference in Amsterdam. In this blog, he summarises his key takeaways from AI-moderated interviews, smarter visual and behavioural testing, data quality and efficiency and thinking outside the (AI) box.

In the third blog of our PMCF Insights Series, PMCF Manager Chris Webb, highlights why it is imperative for manufacturers to provide clinical evidence to show their devices perform as expected over its entire lifetime, as specified within the Device Regulation (EU-MDR 2017/745).

In the second blog of our PMCF Insights Series, Tonika Chester and Isabel Bradshaw explore off-label usage within medical devices, from collecting off-label data in post market clinical follow up, understanding and key considerations for off-label usages to the challenges in paediatric populations and rare diseases.

In the first blog of our PMCF Insights Series, Hemant Mistry and Matthew Hanson explore different types of bias in medical device research, the measures being taken to address these issues, and how Purdie Pascoe's deep expertise helps eliminate bias in PMCF surveys.

Earlier this year Freya Lovely, Senior Research Executive at Purdie Pascoe, won the EPHMRA Young Professionals Award. In this piece, she provides key insights regarding the benefits of winning the award, being a member of the Young Professionals Committee and attending the June conference.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Generative AI, marks a substantial breakthrough in market research. In the ever-evolving landscape of applications and tools, staying current is half the battle. At Purdie Pascoe, we prioritize staying updated and adapting to market shifts while also being prudent in deploying AI, upholding data and privacy compliance.

I still remember my first exposure to market research: it was in the late 90s, a few years before I moved into the industry myself, and I was working for a cellphone company. We were exploring the potential for mobile internet services, from shopping and gaming to stock trading and betting.
