Stage-Gate® Innovation Process for Medical Devices

MediPurpose™ uses the best-in-class Stage-Gate® Innovation Process for new medical device product development methodology.

Pioneered and developed by Dr. Robert G. Cooper, the Stage-Gate® Innovation Process is the world’s most widely implemented and trusted product innovation process. MediPurpose harnesses this value-based roadmap for driving new medical device projects from idea concept to launch and beyond.

Using this methodology, a Stage is a prescribed set of activities that are carried out in parallel (as opposed to sequentially) by different functional areas. Each Stage is designed to gather information needed to progress the medical device innovation to the decision point and reduce uncertainties.

• Stage 1: Scoping for Medical Device Commercialization Potential
• Stage 2: Build a New Medical Device Business Case
• Stage 3: Medical Device Design Prototype Development
• Stage 4: Medical Device Testing and Validation
• Stage 5: Medical Device Launch
