🧩 How this page fits into my connector profile
This page describes the concept, scope, and development path of my connector role. It explains how I position myself between medical technology, regulatory affairs, quality management, and practical healthcare processes, with a regional focus on Germany, Denmark, and Sweden within the wider European context.
The emphasis is on structure and interfaces: how different domains, expectations, and regions connect, and how this connection work can support especially early‑stage MedTech environments.
🔧 Concept: what a connector role means here
Intersection of topics
My connector role sits at the intersection of:
- medical technology and regulation
- formal requirements and day‑to‑day practice
- quality and risk management
- AI in healthcare as part of regulated systems and workflows
- regional contexts – especially DE–DK–SE in a European framework
Typical guiding questions include:
- What do standards and regulations require for a given product, process, or setup?
- How can these requirements be translated into workflows, responsibilities, and documentation?
- How do expectations differ across regions, and what does that mean for practical implementation?
From requirements to structures
The focus is not only on reading requirements, but on structuring them so they can be used:
- grouping and ordering topics
- mapping roles and interfaces
- identifying where decisions and responsibilities need to be explicit
💡 Why a connector role is valuable
Especially in smaller organisations and early‑stage MedTech environments, complexity is often present but not yet structured. A connector role can help to:
- reduce friction between perspectives – technical, regulatory, quality, operational, and organisational
- express regulatory and quality demands in process language – workflows, responsibilities, and documentation rather than isolated requirements
- make cross‑border work more predictable – by highlighting regional differences along the DE–DK–SE axis and relating them to concrete processes
- turn open questions into ordered work – so that uncertainty becomes a sequence of manageable clarification steps
The goal is not to add another layer of abstraction, but to make existing complexity more visible and workable.
📈 Development path: what exists and what is evolving
Existing foundations
I already bring:
- practical experience from pharmacy and healthcare‑related settings
- a process‑ and quality‑oriented mindset from industrial and management contexts
- an analytical way of structuring information and requirements
- awareness of regional and organisational differences in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden
Areas in systematic development
I am actively deepening my capabilities in:
- MedTech regulatory affairs – understanding frameworks and their impact on concrete products and processes
- quality and risk management – with reference to ISO 13485 and ISO 14971
- AI in healthcare – classifying and contextualising AI approaches within regulatory and quality structures
- cross‑border workflow understanding – mapping how expectations and practices differ between DE–DK–SE and how they can be aligned
🧪 Examples of connector work
Structuring open regulatory and quality questions
A team has multiple regulatory or quality concerns but no clear structure. I help to:
- group and label questions
- relate them to standards, topics, or processes
- define ordered clarification steps and responsibilities
Translating requirements into operational workflows
A regulatory or quality requirement is known in principle, but its practical impact is unclear. I support in:
- describing affected workflows and roles
- identifying necessary documentation and checkpoints
- integrating the requirement into existing structures instead of creating parallel tracks
Aligning perspectives across regions (DE–DK–SE)
A setup spans more than one country. I contribute by:
- highlighting structural differences (for example documentation depth, communication paths, escalation habits)
- mapping these to concrete processes and responsibilities
- suggesting ways to align expectations without ignoring local realities
Sorting complexity into manageable sequences
In multi‑layered situations, I work on:
- building a structured overview of topics, decisions, and dependencies
- identifying critical paths and next realistic steps
- clarifying who needs to decide what, and based on which information
🔎 Key ideas of my connector role
The connector role is about making interfaces visible – between MedTech, regulation, quality, practice, and regions – and turning complex, cross‑functional questions into structured, actionable work.
🚀 How this role supports early‑stage MedTech work
For early‑stage MedTech environments and smaller organisations, this connector role helps to:
- stabilise structure where many open questions exist
- ensure that regulatory and quality requirements are integrated into processes from the beginning
- support realistic, stepwise development across DE–DK–SE and the wider European context
