Medical Device Development & Regulatory Approval
Enabled a consumer-grade medical device to achieve multi-region regulatory approval across North America, Europe, and Asia, unlocking global commercialization pathways.
Situation
A client sought to develop an at-home, wearable therapeutic device for treating androgenetic alopecia using low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The challenge required navigating complex regulatory frameworks while ensuring clinical efficacy and safety across multiple jurisdictions.
Solution
A full-stack medical device development program was executed to ensure scientific rigor and regulatory alignment from early-stage development through approval.
