Cáritas Coimbra was part of the MDevNet network. Despite being a new member, it is proud to be part of this network currently awarded the Best Practices Awards Infarmed 25+ by Infarmed, which honours projects and institutions that promote best practices in the pharmaceutical and health products sector.
The project MDevNet: National Network of Knowledge Transfer on Medical Devices is coordinated by Fraunhofer Portugal AICOS and aims to increase the value of the knowledge on technology based medical devices produced by the entities of the Portuguese scientific and innovation system through effective processes of technology transfer to the industry.
The project combines the results of the new model of technology transfer, based on an approach focused on a collective effort of incremental improvements oriented by regulatory and operational requirements which affect its future application, as well as the pilot projects to demonstrate the impact of improved results, with the empirical knowledge that emerges from the MDevNet Network activity to produce a highly relevant set of documents for the network members and other entities involved in knowledge transfer and enhancement of technology-based medical devices, specifically:
- Report of Obstacles and Opportunities for Implementation of Successful Technology Transfer in the Field of Technology-Based Medical Devices
- Manual of Best Practices for Technology Transfer in the Field of Technology-Based Medical Devices
- Catalogue of R&D Results in the area of Technology-Based Medical Devices with High Potential of Valorization and Transfer
