THE HEALTH AND MEDTECH INNOVATION SKILLS & COMPETENCIES FRAMEWORK

Based on health and medtech innovation stakeholder feedback, this whitepaper describes eight distinct functional innovation skills and competencies that are required to drive innovation in health and medtech. This framework stratifies learners by their prior innovation experience and their desired competency proficiency and additionally lays out a tailored set of desired competency proficiencies for each target learner group – for example, the healthcare professionals, scientists and engineers, regulatory professionals, and startup teams.
