The Landscape of Medical Device Development in the NIDA Small Business Program

Image
The active NIDA Small Business Medical Device Development Program categorizes medical devices by their development stages, as detailed in NIH Reporter project descriptions. These stages include preclinical development, clinical feasibility, clinical pivotal studies, FDA clearance/approval, post-approval studies/labeling expansion. Overall, medical devices are divided in two major categories and their expected indications, namely: monitoring/diagnostics devices (with indications of overdose detection, SUD monitoring, OUD Risk Prediction, In-Vitro Drug Detection, Drug Detection wearables) and therapeutic devices (classified as digital therapeutics for SUD, OUD neuromodulation, opioid-sparing pain treatments, NOWS, smoking cessation). This depiction is not exhaustive.
