Abstract

The Quality by Design (QbD) concept has been successfully used in the pharmaceutical industry since 2004. This work introduces the first steps for the implementation of QbD in the medical device field and incorporates metrological concerns to the quality approach, determining the Target Product Profile, Critical Quality Attributes and Critical Process Parameters for a robotic assistive technology development intended to help locomotion of elderly people.
