2019 Industry Trends: Medical Device & Diagnostic

A Q1 Productions 2019 White Paper

Who We Are

Each year, Q1 Productions researches, develops and hosts over 50 unique conferences for executives working in the life science industry, covering topics from product research & development to regulatory clearance and market access, with a particular focus on the development of educational content and programming for medical device and diagnostic firms. Over the course of this research, Conference Program Managers conduct interviews with more than 2,000 individual executives, manage over 1,000 executive presenters and bring together more than 3,500 industry executives that participate in the dynamic programming Q1 develops.

Industry Trends: Medical Device & Diagnostic
As 2018 came to a close, Q1 conducted a survey with medical device industry clients, regulatory authorities, as well as consultant partners to take the pulse of the industry and to get a gauge of priorities, challenges, concerns and where the industry is headed in 2019. This report contains much of the feedback from the hundreds of responses received, which focused on a number of core challenges as executives considered the year ahead, which Q1 grouped into several areas:

Pricing & Reimbursement
EU Medical Device & IVD Regulations
Regulatory Challenges
Technology Trends
Corporate Resources

Q1 Productions will continue to stay abreast of all industry developments to provide educational content and thought leadership to industry followers. Please visit our events page for details on upcoming educational programming and news.

VantagePoint Performance trains Salespeople to be more fluent and comfortable across different situations needing different sales approaches, and we train Sales Managers to be better coaches and team leaders, with more focus and less stress.

We’re different from the average sales training company because:

We don’t believe that one approach, one system, or one methodology is absolutely superior. All have something to offer, and the “best approach” or “best system” depends on the sales situation. This is what our applied, academic research tells us.
Our use of data science, specifically Machine Learning, helps us learn about our clients more meaningfully. We provide insights from each client’s data to help them understand what drives the success of their top-performing Salespeople and Sales Managers.
We are constantly feeding what we learn back into our training products, and we invest a bigger slice of our total energy into this innovation than the average sales training company. Our clients can access always-refreshed intellectual property and content through our training subscriptions.
