SmartTRAK analysts Susan Paquette and Lennart Stadler on European market trends and emerging products and technologies showcased at EWMA 2019.

In many ways, the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) annual meeting is a microcosm of the latest wound care trends in Europe and provides a glimpse of what’s on the horizon in the worldwide (WW) market for Advanced Wound Care (AWC).

The SmartTRAK analyst team is expanding and we are looking for an experienced and motivated individual who would like to manage one or more of our Advanced Wound Care modules, with a focus on the European markets. As you know, all of our SmartTRAK analysts are former marketing, business development or competitive intelligence professionals with one of the major medical device manufacturers and, in fact, most have come to us via recommendations from our subscribers. We believe that having a person of this caliber with relevant experience and deep insight on the market is a tremendous value-add to the SmartTRAK platform.
