Advances in healthcare technology and medical devices are reshaping how care is delivered, monitored, and managed. As hardware, software, and data-driven systems converge, companies face complex questions around regulatory expectations, product safety, intellectual property, and privacy across both traditional devices and digital health solutions.
DOAR represents healthcare technology experts and medical device experts who understand this environment from the device design, testing, and manufacturing to software integration, connectivity, and real-world clinical use. They bring practical insight into how products function, how data moves through connected systems, and how regulatory requirements apply throughout the product lifecycle.
