Rating-Based Medical Device Evaluation

Why MPAnalytics is better than a Medical Advisory Board

The majority of new medical devices are unsuccessful in the marketplace, often due to biased or off the cuff advice from physician consultants. The opinions from these consultants are often flawed because the physician has limited knowledge of the clinical and reimbursement potential of new medical devices.

MPAnalytics’ medical consultants are a group of clinically active academic physicians who use analytical processes, rather than anecdotal information, to predict whether the new product will be marketable and reimbursable. Decisions based on thorough evaluation of the product can help predict profitability and commercial feasibility.

Commercial Feasibility Rating or “Composite Rating”

MPAnalytics provides each client with a rating sheet that assigns an overall rating for your medical product or technology based on our five key categories below. Based on the results, MPAnalytics offers consultation for ways to improve these ratings.

Five Key Categories

1. Clinical Potential

Your product’s clinical potential is the viability of the product in a clinical setting, and gives an assessment of the product in comparison to similar products when applicable.

2. Scientific Merit

Scientific merit assesses the quality and technological components of the medical product or technology to determine if these pieces make sense to the market or enhance patient/user experience.

3. Reimbursement Potential

Reimbursement potential is determined by the use of MPAnalytics’ extensive experience in reimbursement regulations to determine a rating based on the pro’s and con’s for your medical product or technology.

4. Clinical Trial Needs

MPAnalytics rates your clinical research trial needs based on the possible requirements for your product for insurance carriers.

5. Market Evaluation

MPAnalytics assigns a market evaluation rating to your medical product based on their assessment of the best approach to market, the available market size, and the pro’s and con’s of both.
