Title of Presentation: What Medical Device Manufacturers Expect from E-Textile Developers
E-textiles offer significant potential for medical applications such as continuous monitoring and patient-centered care. However, only few concepts successfully transition into certified medical devices. This presentation provides an industry perspective on what medical device manufacturers expect from e-textile developers. It highlights key requirements including biocompatibility, long-term reliability, mechanical robustness, data quality, and compliance with regulatory standards such as MDR and ISO frameworks.
