How Medtech Companies are Unlocking the Potential of Latin America in Clinical Research

Medtech startups' challenges in the medical device industry in the US are multifaceted, ranging from regulatory hurdles to limited financial resources and prolonged subject recruitment timelines. US Medtech companies face professionalism, language barriers, fragmentation of resources, and lack of CRO corporate structures in Latin America. This impedes Latin American hospitals from having seamless communication and collaboration with American clinical trial clients, particularly in the medical device first-in-human clinical trial industry. These factors underscore the urgent need for a solution-driven approach to bridge the gap between innovation and execution in Latin America.
