Naveen Sihag is a PhD candidate at the Department of Computer Science, NTNU. His research is part of the Horizon Europe project EU4MEDTECH (European Framework for Advanced Medical Technology Evaluation and Follow-up), a multidisciplinary initiative dedicated to advancing the evaluation, regulation, and adoption of innovative medical technologies across Europe.

EU4MEDTECH aims to develop and validate a lifecycle-oriented framework for the generation, evaluation, and validation of clinical and performance evidence for high-risk medical devices, in-vitro diagnostic devices (IVDs), and medical software. The project addresses challenges associated with the implementation of the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR), supporting regulatory compliance, patient safety, and innovation throughout the medical technology lifecycle. A key outcome of the project is the development of an interactive cloud-based digital platform that integrates regulatory communication tools, stakeholder training resources, evidence repositories, and decision-support functionalities.
