Kylie Marflak, Senior Regulatory Intelligence Specialist at CooperVision, shared with us a video talking about her experience in the adoption of MedBoard in their Regulatory processes.
“ As a manufacturer, we trust MedBoard to stay compliant and really just ahead of the game in all aspects. ”
As a global leader in the contact lens industry, CooperVision needed a robust solution to stay ahead of the ever-changing regulatory requirements and market trends. Kylie recalled their initial goal:
“What we were looking for at the time was a tool to stay on top of everything, and MedBoard is so much more than that. ”
MedBoard provided a comprehensive solution that addressed CooperVision’s challenges, transforming how they managed regulatory intelligence and compliance. Kylie outlined several key features that changed their way of working.
Real-time updates
“I really like how you get real-time updates on regulatory changes, so in turn, your lenses meet the latest standards.”
“It provides functions to keep up with the latest regulations, market trends, and product innovations. That helped me understand what is actually relevant to lenses and even more to our projects.”
“I also really specifically like the comprehensive insights into global and more detailed regulations. MDR can be a bit challenging for someone just coming into the role, so MedBoard has been specifically built to help you navigate compliance landscapes with ease.”
Adopting MedBoard has led to tangible improvements in CooperVision’s regulatory workflows and team collaboration. Kylie shared how the platform has helped their team achieve:
Collaboration
