@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 @e_kamenjasevic @KasparRosager @katy_mcmillan @pillrabbit Finally, Antonia Cronin and Rebecca Thom look at the challenges surrounding the regulation of regenerative medicine technologies such as the bioartificial pancreas, highlighting how their hybridity causes problems for current regulatory regimes. https://t.co/pRwIztX5tl

@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 @e_kamenjasevic @KasparRosager @katy_mcmillan . @pillrabbit, Robin Williams, Stephen Gilbert, and Stuart Anderson examine difficulties governing AI enabled medical devices, highlighting that current regulatory regimes may be incompatible with ever changing and optimising devices. https://t.co/bthTrSw3iz

@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 @e_kamenjasevic @KasparRosager . @katy_mcmillan focuses on the regulation of FemTech, such as fertility-related apps, and explores how the current medical device regulations in the UK fail to adequately capture them. #FemTech #medicaldevices https://t.co/Z4dt21XBj8

@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 @e_kamenjasevic . @KasparRosager also looks at medical device cybersecurity, comparing law in the EU, US, and GB and arguing for a systems approach to regulation in this area. #medicaldevices https://t.co/Hneh0BciC5

@profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 @JeanMcHale2 . @bisilib @e_kamenjasevic and Burcu Yaşar take a closer look at the gaps in cybersecurity regulation in the EU and the problems caused by the (lack of) integration between different pieces of relevant legislation in the context of medical devices. https://t.co/P5jTyWq3hK

. @profmq @LauraJDowney @zaina_mahmoud94 and @JeanMcHale2 look at the complex and shifting regulatory landscape for medical devices in the UK post-Brexit and explore the MHRAs proposed changes for the future. https://t.co/QLpj90527o
