Clinical trials are very expensive, take several years to complete, and are essentially a large risky investment. This can deter many companies from pursuing new innovative solutions, and will instead make sure the device is close enough to something already on the market. This is unfortunate because the Engineers are restricted with their designs, and the public health is unable to be benefited by their potentially renowned inventions.

A few potential topics/questions to discuss would be: What is your own relatable experience within whatever company you work/ have worked for? If you agree that this is an issue, how do you think that this will be improved in the future? Feel free to discuss any other issue related to clinal trials as well.
