Section Editor: Payal Bhatia EMWA’s medical device expert seminar series brings together speakers with different expertise providing valuable insights into the medical device industry. Medical device Expert Seminar Series: Beyond traditional medical devices Author: Cherry Malonzo As with every medical device expert seminar series (ESS), we learned something new at the ESS held at the EMWA Conference last May in Prague. With the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) in full swing, the speakers not only discussed MDR-compliance challenges but also shed light on niche products, such as in vitro diagnostics, combination products, and medical device software. With great pleasure, we summarise the key messages  of each of the four presentations for our readers. Medical Writing. 2024;33(1):83–88. https://doi.org/10.56012/mant7496
