ADVANCING
PRACTICE.
IAHPM brings manufacturers together to address the quality, evidence and policy questions that shape health products and their use.
Across health-product manufacturing
The products we work on
Health products take many forms. A nutritional product, a wearable sensor and a diagnostic test raise different technical questions. They also depend on common foundations: sound manufacturing, evidence suited to the product, clear information and responsible business practice.
Wearable health technology. Devices that measure activity, sleep and other health-related signals. Wearables
Home health and monitoring. Products designed for use beyond specialist settings. Home health devices
Diagnostics and testing. Technologies that turn samples and measurements into information. Diagnostics
Connected health and software. The software, connections and data services supporting health products. Connected health
Rehabilitation and assistance. Products supporting function, mobility and daily living. Rehabilitation and assistive products
The manufacturing supply chain. Ingredients, components and specialist manufacturing services. Manufacturing and supply chains
Our shared agenda
Quality, evidence and responsible practice
Our work connects technical expertise with the practical questions manufacturers face: how a product is made, how its performance is assessed, how its purpose is explained and how its requirements differ between markets.
Publications and resources
Find technical briefings, practice resources and policy material by product sector, subject and market. Each publication identifies its scope and the information needed to use it responsibly.
