Loïc Pougnault

Doctor of Neuroscience trained in optics, I support MedTech startups in their R&D applied to vision and medical devices. My intervention covers the entire upstream cycle: scientific literature reviews, competitive benchmarks (technical, clinical, regulatory), design of evaluation protocols, and drafting of deliverables for product teams, investors, or competent authorities. I combine academic rigor (PhD, publications, critical analysis of clinical data) with field knowledge of the optics sector and active practice of the MDR/CE regulatory framework for class I to IIb devices. What I do concretely:

- Structured state-of-the-art and synthesis of peer-reviewed literature

- Competitive benchmarking (product positioning, patent analysis, clinical claims)

- Design and critique of clinical evaluation protocols

- Regulatory support: MDR classification, clinical data for CE dossiers

- Scientific writing: reports, summaries, content for fundraising or publications
