About this episode
The episode discusses key takeaways from IMSC26, emphasizing shared perspectives on risk and safety in medtech.
Summary “The biggest takeaway was realizing that our perspectives on risk and safety are not isolated. They are shared, validated, and strengthened by others in the field.” In this special episode of the Let’s Talk Risk! conversation , host Naveen Agarwal brings together a panel of medtech safety and risk management leaders to discuss key takeaways from IMSC26 in Boston. The conversation highlights why the conference has become a unique gathering place for the medtech safety community: a forum where risk, quality, regulatory, clinical, and engineering professionals can speak a shared language and challenge each other’s thinking. The panel explores several major themes: moving beyond compliance, bringing patient perspective into risk management, understanding QMSR as a shift toward risk-based quality systems, strengthening judgment and critical thinking, and using AI as a thinking partner rather than a replacement for expertise.
