In this episode, Medtech Insight senior reporter Hannah Daniel speaks to Mark Brown, Global Managing Director of Digital Trust Consulting at the British Standards Institute about digital trust. In a world of cybersecurity breaches and ransomware attacks on hospitals, digital trust between companies and consumers is key, but current siloed operations can hinder that. We talk about the EU’s AI act, the speed of digital transformation, cybersecurity incentives, and how principle-based regulations are better than prescriptive ones.

In this episode, HBW Insight chats with sustainable packaging expert Tony Perrotta about why it’s so difficult to replace plastic pill packs in medicines packaging. Perrotta works for PA Consulting, which set up the Blister Pack Collective alongside consumer healthcare partners Haleon, Bayer and Sanofi. They are working with PulPac, which has invented a dry molded fiber alternative to plastic, which the collective hopes will be ready to commercialize in the next 12-24 months. We discuss whether regulators will accept such alternatives, given the safety and stability requirements for medicines, and the challenges of recycling, given the multitude of different frameworks and processes across the world. Perrotta also reveals that one of the partners in PA Consulting’s Bottle Collective, which also hopes to use the same dry molded fiber technology to replace plastic bottles in food, personal care and consumer health industries, will soon be launching its first market trial.
