UBORA is an e-platform for the co-design of open source medical devices, which promotes compliance with internationally recognized quality standards and regulations for safety and efficacy. The platform guides users through a systematic design process, from the identification of clinical needs, of risks class and relevant standards for the device, and provides project management tools, including a repository, finalized to the preparation of the pre-production device dossier. The process is supervised by expert mentors, who ensure that safety and efficacy criteria are fulfilled. UBORA’s mission is in line with the 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting and strengthening the initiatives of an international community of designers, healthcare providers and policy-makers, towards the reduction of inequalities in the access to quality medical devices and healthcare. We will describe the platform, its tools and structure and discuss examples of successful and ongoing projects.
