Regulatory Guidance

High quality regulatory and reimbursement guidance for Digital Health SMEs in Europe

 

To obtain CE certification and to get reimbursement for innovative medical devices are crucial challenges that have to be met by digital health SMEs. CE certification gets more complicated and costly due to several renewals in European standards and regulations. Tackling reimbursement challenges rather late in the life cycle of a medical device can delay launching of the product. Accordingly, reimbursement strategies and certification should be addressed together early on. The challenge for both processes is their high degree of diversity across Europe. Standards and regulations are implemented in various ways across EU member states.

Additionally, European markets are diverse, there are as many reimbursement systems for medical devices as there are countries. In order to launch a product in a new market, SMEs need to know the local policy environment, how a system is funded, how reimbursement decisions are made and how long decisions take.
