Oct 15: Webinar - Draft Guidance: Incorporating Voluntary Patient Preference Information over the Total Product Life Cycle

The FDA will host a webinar for interested parties to answer questions about this draft guidance: Incorporating Voluntary Patient Preference Information over the Total Product Life Cycle.

The FDA encourages medical device companies to use patient preference information to inform the entire product lifecycle. This includes considering what patients want to achieve with a treatment, what they're willing to tolerate in terms of risks, and what they value most. Patient preference information (PPI) can be applied throughout the entire product lifecycle, from early development to post-market evaluation.
