Combined products: regulation & patient engagement
Despite the development and increasing use of products combining medicinal products, medical devices and digital health technologies (combined products), there is no harmonized framework for these products and sectoral legislation apply to their different components. The session will provide various perspectives on outstanding challenges how to bridge the gap between the medicinal products and the medical devices frameworks. In the area of combined products, collaboration between the different stakeholders is key and, as such, the session will also address this topic by exploring patient engagement.
