Our Focus

We are a convener of thought leaders who seek to be a part of the solution to Medtech’s biggest challenges:

  • Diversifying clinical trials.
  • Incorporating diversity of thought, experience and expertise into the product development lifecycle.

We develop strategies to solve these problems by:

  • Recommending best practices
  • Designing educational resources to increase awareness of and mitigate the impacts of unconscious bias and social determinants of health
  • Supporting the development of clinical research.
