About Patricia
I help MedTech startups and innovative healthcare companies turn complex regulatory challenges into clear, actionable, and business-friendly solutions.
Specialized in SaMD, AI-driven medical technologies, CE marking under MDR (EU) 2017/745, and ISO 13485, I support companies from product development to certification readiness and market access.
What makes my approach different is my ability to combine strong regulatory expertise with a deep understanding of software, AI, and fast-moving product development environments. My goal is not only to ensure compliance, but also to make QARA more accessible, pragmatic, and seamlessly integrated into technical workflows, helping teams move fast without slowing innovation down.
I am a really dynamic person, solution-oriented, and deeply involved in the projects I support. I enjoy working as a true partner alongside founders, product teams, and QARA departments to help innovative healthcare technologies successfully reach the market.
