In this Medtech Matters podcast episode of Mike on Medtech with Mike Drues, president of Vascular Sciences, we discuss the use of real world evidence in the medical device approval process, which has gained much attention lately due to several reasons. It was specifically mentioned in the 21st Century Cures Act and it was also the topic of a recently released FDA Guidance document (PDF). Further, we seek to gain some additional insights on what real world evidence actually is, why it matters to medical device manufacturers, and how they might be able to make efficient use of it.
