Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising is an important tool to educate patients about medical technologies, especially advances that promote faster recovery and better outcomes (often, with lower costs). Leaders from Medtronic and Edwards Lifesciences will examine key DTC principles, including best practices and guardrails. Panelists will specifically discuss considerations when establishing a DTC campaign, substantiation of claims, and when and how to notify FDA of your DTC campaign.
