The Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) is the first-ever public-private partnership created with the sole objective of advancing medical device regulatory science for patient benefit.  MDIC brings together representatives of the FDA, NIH, CMS, industry, non-profits and patient organizations to improve the processes for development, assessment and review of new medical technologies. MDIC aims to promote public health through science and technology and to enhance trust and confidence among stakeholders. Members of MDIC share a vision of providing U.S. patients with timely access to high-quality, safe and effective medical devices. MDIC’s initiatives support what is important to all stakeholders and collectively the organization works to help re-engineer the tools for innovation and regulatory assessments to address the unsustainable cost trajectory of medical technology innovation.
