Efforts are underway to improve organ transportation techniques. But, can innovation trump the cost effectiveness of the picnic cooler method when it comes to transferring human organs between donor and recipient?

Also, explore whether hospitals should be reusing more medical devices, we examine the legal aspects of using 3D printing and additive manufacturing for medical devices, and take a look at a diagnostic technology that reduces the time it takes to get full blood count results.

Plus, we find out why the process for demonstrating safety and efficacy will be a significant consideration as AI becomes increasingly commonplace and investigate why linguistic validation is a critical element of capturing international feedback.

As always, we also round up the latest news from the medical device industry, and get comment and analysis from GlobalData’s healthcare analysts on market dynamics, product innovation, regional developments and regulatory issues.
