Medical Device Guidance is a new online service developed by the UiO Growth House – the internal innovation unit at the University of Oslo (UiO).

– Getting medical devices approved is a complicated process. We have made this service so that researchers can get it right from the start, says project manager Beate Rygg Johnsen who is head of the section of innovation services in the UiO Growth House.

Part of EU project

The service has been developed as part of the EU project REALMENT led by Professor Ole Andreassen at the Faculty of Medicine. The goal of REALMENT is to bring personalised medicine interventions to psychiatry.
