Abstract: ETHOS will provide insight into the requirements for the safe, secure, and effective deployment of digital health focused technology at scale. Discussions concerning early research problem identification, health system challenges and taking research through to minimum viable product (MVP) and minimum marketable product (MMP). The objective is to highlight the benefit of earlier alignment with regulatory challenges to aid successful interventions and to demonstrate standards can be an enabler not a barrier to innovation.
