Across health-product manufacturing
Find your product area
Health products reach people through different routes, but the manufacturing questions are often connected. Start with the product area closest to your work.
Wearables. Follow a measurement from its signal and software version to the metric shown to a user. Explore wearable technology
Home monitoring. Review set-up, measurement, results, maintenance and support for products used beyond specialist settings. Explore home monitoring
Diagnostics and testing. Read performance reports in the context of the tested system, specimen, users and comparison method. Explore diagnostics
Connected health. Define data, versions, failure states and responsibilities when information moves between products and services. Explore connected health
Rehabilitation and assistive products. Record fit, adjustment, use and maintenance across the people and settings involved. Explore rehabilitation and assistive products
Ingredients, components and contract manufacturing. Clarify specifications, changes and responsibilities across organisational boundaries. Explore the manufacturing supply chain
Our shared agenda
Start with a practical tool
Use a worksheet when you need to turn a broad discussion into a reviewable record.
Describing the purpose of a health product
A blank worksheet and worked example for defining a health product's configuration, users, setting, input, output and intended action.
Read the resourceA measurement evidence record for wearable products
A blank record and worked example for a wearable signal, configuration, comparison method, users, conditions, result and change trigger.
Read the resourceDocumenting quality responsibilities across a supply chain
A responsibility matrix, change example and handover checklist for manufacturers, suppliers, laboratories and service providers.
Read the resourceThree connected areas of work
Evidence in use. Identify the exact product, configuration, users and conditions behind a result before applying it to a statement.
Manufacturing responsibilities. Record who supplies, checks, approves and updates information when more than one organisation contributes to a product.
Product information. Keep packaging, instructions, software interfaces and professional communications consistent with the product purpose and supporting material.
Membership & participation
Membership for organisations
Membership is held by an accepted legal organisation. Manufacturers, relevant suppliers and service organisations, and industry associations can review the category that matches their work.
Members can put forward shared questions, contribute non-confidential experience and manage authorised representatives. Access to a particular project depends on its subject and participation requirements.
Professional exchange
Learn by doing
The open learning pathways use a short case and a practical exercise. Each pathway produces a record that can be reviewed with a colleague.
