Brief Bio
Norbert Noury is a Distinguished Professor at University of Lyon, France. His lectures cover Electronics and Physics in Medical devices and his research interests are in eHealth, connected health sensors, Ambient assistive living environments. After a MSc in Electronics (Grenoble University, 1985), he was R&D engineer in several industrial companies during 8 years. He then defended his PhD in Medical Telematics (1992) and joined the University of Grenoble (1993), where he initiated a new field of researches in Health Smart Homes and wearable health sensors and he created and directed his own research group at laboratory TIMC in Faculty of Medicine Grenoble (1998-2008). In 2008 he moved to University of Lyon, where he took various responsibilities - Director of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Polytech'Lyon School of Engineering, Director of the Master in Regulations of Medical devices, Director of the BSc in Medical Technologies at IUT Lyon 1. Since 2008, he was also with the Biomedical Sensors research group at INL-INSA Lyon where he launched a Living Lab for Health and developed several innovative wearable non-invasive smart sensors for continuous monitoring of humans (actimetrics, fall detection, thermal measurement, non-invasive blood pressure). He is also an entrepreneur who contributed to launching 2 Start Up, exploiting his works and (15) patents. He guided 21 PhD students, authored or co-authored more than 250 scientific papers (H-index 38). He is an expert and reviewer at the European Commission, ESF, CRSNG. He is an active member of the French Chapter IEEE EMBS (President 2015-19, secretary 2013-15, VP since 2019). He was one of the founders of the “Groupement National de Recherche Biomédicale” GDR STIC-Santé in which he led the “wearable health sensors” group (2002-14). He also is frequently involved in the organization committees of international scientific events (General Chair IEEEHealthcom2010 in Lyon and IEEE-Healthcom2018 in Ostrava, local organizing committee IEEE-EMBC2007 in Lyon, pHealth2011 in Lyon, member of the steering Committee of the IEEEHealthcom conference from 2010 to 2020).

SCOPE
The new European regulation on medical devices applies from May 26, 2021, after a four-year transition period, and has been strengthened in several areas. In particular, the requirements for manufacturers before placing a medical device on the market have been strengthened in order to put in place clinical evaluations and investigations to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the use of these devices for the benefit of the patient. One year after its implementation, what lessons can be learned? What initiatives should be taken? What are the shortcomings or gaps? Are the specificities of DM in digital health understood? Are the specificities of border DMs (drugs, cosmetics) easy to manage? How is the clinical evidence built in compliance with this regulation? We accept submissions covering all phases of the development cycle of a new medical device, from the preliminary study confirming the proof of concept to the post-market clinical follow-up (real-world data), including in silico testing, first-in-man clinical investigation, medico-economics or usability study.
