Webinar: Biostatistics in IVD Clinical Research – Decoding the Biostatistical Black Box

Online Event

The role of biostatistics during a clinical study is often underestimated and viewed merely as a black box of providing statistical inputs at the end of a trial. However, partnering early and often with a Biostatistician on the design of your IVD clinical trial can help avoid costly mistakes, such as inadequate data collection, inefficient data pipelining and data cleaning. Join NAMSA for this webinar as we examine these critical areas, provide insight on how to prevent unnecessary delays and walk through two real-world case studies.

Navigating the Landscape for Over-the-Counter or Direct-to-Consumer IVD Tests

Online Event

Healthcare diagnostics has seen a significant increase in over-the-counter (OTC) or direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing. A trajectory that was already in the making prior to COVID-19, this area has increased at a faster pace as more consumers are comfortable performing OTC tests at home. This change in consumer expectation, as well as an evolution of global regulatory requirements, has led to increased considerations and requirements by IVD manufacturers to produce robust testing options. Join NAMSA for this webinar as we evaluate those enhanced requirements specifically as they affect human factors and usability engineering to ensure all IVDs are safe and effective for the intended users, uses and use environments. Early understanding of these requirements is crucial and can influence the device display, controls, functions, results interpretations, instructions and countless other design inputs impacting the consumer.
