About this presentation
Digital disruption in healthcare has created an opportunity for new products that are data-driven and patient-centered. The market volume of medical technology by 2026 is estimated to reach USD 644.2 billion (Source: Statista). However, bringing a medical device or drug to market is very different from building other kinds of products. Strict regulation also makes it a highly complex process. The MIT xPRO Drug and Medical Device Development: A Strategic Approach program is designed to provide you with a big picture view of initiating a medical drug or product development. It will also help you anticipate and address the complexities involved with developing medical products.
How to study this deck
Biology lectures often compress entire systems into a single diagram. Force yourself to redraw the diagram from memory before moving on, and label every arrow with the process it represents (transport, signaling, transcription, etc.).
Undergraduate viewers should treat this as a scaffolding for deeper reading — the slides outline the territory, but the textbook chapters and primary sources remain the actual content.
Five questions to test your understanding
- What is the single most important claim on the first three slides, and what evidence is offered for it?
- Which slide could you remove without losing the argument? Which slide is load-bearing?
- Where does the deck switch from definitions to applications? Mark that transition.
- What would a student who already disagreed with the conclusion need to see to be convinced?
- Which two slides, if combined, would give the clearest one-slide summary of the whole deck?
