Our Commitment to Inclusive Medical Device Development

 

Dear MedTech Color Network and Collaborative Community Members:


MedTech Color has been notified that in accordance with current Administration policies, FDA/CDRH will not participate in our collaborative community at this time. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the FDA for its past participation and support of our collaborative community and its mission. Our collaborative community will continue its work with input and support from our volunteers, partners and stakeholders.

 

Inclusive medical device development and clinical trials are not just industry goals, they are fundamental public health and patient safety issues. We believe that ensuring representation of all populations in medical research, and product design is a moral and business imperative, critical to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and/or medical products. MedTech Color’s dedication to these principles is steadfast and resolute and we will continue to work tirelessly with all stakeholders to drive thought-leadership, solutions and best practices to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive medtech ecosystem. Your continued collaboration and input are not just important; they are essential to our mission. Now, more than ever, we need your support. If you are interested in volunteering or exploring opportunities to contribute, please email executivedirector@medtechcolor.org to learn how you can help us advance this critical mission.

 

MedTech Color remains committed to continuing our vital work, guided by a shared vision that leverages the insight, experience and perspective of diverse thought leaders and allies to address unmet needs of diverse populations.

 

 

Best regards,
