Welcome to The Zewski Report

The Problem:

For decades, innovation followed a clear path: institutions developed groundbreaking ideas, patented them, and passed them to industry for production. Manufacturers translated these innovations into market-ready products, paying royalties to institutions in return. This model fueled economic growth and led to many of the United States' most advanced medical and technological breakthroughs throughout the 20th century.

However, as technology rapidly evolved, device translation became increasingly complex. Regulatory requirements tightened, manufacturing became more specialized and expensive, and many production operations moved offshore. Large corporations, driven by shareholder demands for high returns, dominated the space, while thousands of smaller to mid-sized manufacturers struggled to access new device opportunities.

As a result, institutions continued producing valuable intellectual property but lacked the resources and industry insight to navigate the increasingly difficult path to commercialization. Many promising medical technologies were left in limbo—either too competitive for big tech to embrace or too niche to gain their attention. The financial impact of COVID-19 further strained medical institutions, forcing staff reductions while increasing pressure to bring innovations to market faster with fewer resources.

The Solution:

At The Zewski Report, we bridge this gap. Our expertise in device translation, regulatory strategy, and commercialization pathways helps institutions and innovators move beyond the bottleneck. We provide data-driven insights and practical roadmaps to bring viable medical technologies to market, ensuring groundbreaking ideas don’t get lost in the shuffle.

Take our free, non-proprietary 24-question survey and receive an instant, complimentary ballpark report on what it takes to turn your idea into a manufacturable, market-ready device.

Clinical Innovators

Guidance in one place for a fraction of the time and cost than conventional methods.

The Zewski Report program helps individuals or teams turn their medical device ideas into reality by delivering comprehensive reports that explain the cost and time associated with taking a product from concept to market availability.

Many clinicians will spend years making little progress, questioning how to get started, what a project will cost, or how long it will take. Some spend tens of thousands of dollars before understanding the steps, risks, and players crucial to the development process.

We help you organize thoughts about product ideas into tangible reports that are valuable in discussions with your institutions, investors, and manufacturers.

A significant pain point for investors is when innovators do not know how much funding they need and why. Our reports can help guide you through product development, from ideation to design and validation. Also, learn to navigate the regulatory approval process and the FDA requirements before selling your product.

Institutional Translators

Learn about your ideas' path-to-market sooner to increase your device translations.

We have heard repeatedly that educational and medical institutions want to translate more ideas but have difficulty gaining traction, even after going through an incubator program. We believe it is a misconception that any manufacturer is the solution. 50% of manufacturers in the United States cannot develop ideas due to a lack of resources, expertise, or general understanding of the time and cost of a device qualification process. However, they are capable when partnered with the right idea and information. Unfortunately, few organizations can gather the right information quickly to present such a plan.

The Zewski Report bridges this gap and provides vital information for matching your idea to the appropriate manufacturers or investors. Knowing a potential project's cost and value will help you decide which ideas are worth pursuing based on your resources.

Benefits include:

Increasing the number of patented ideas originating from your institution.
Increasing the visibility of your innovation program, attracting more staff or students.
Increasing translational royalties, which can be invested in future ideas.

Manufacturers

Get access to pre-qualified ideas that are aligned with your capabilities.

Have you ever considered developing your own medical devices? Maybe you already do, but finding ideas that fit your expertise is complicated. If you are a Tier I medical component manufacturer with a QMS already in place, you are much closer to the device manufacturing space than you think.

You have built your company but want to do more, be more involved, and help people directly. You are just unsure about "design" and "regulatory."

The Zewski Report provides comprehensive information explaining the cost, time, market potential, and regulatory risk for any idea. It aligns the inventor or institutional ideas with you, the proper manufacturer for the job.

Investors

Get access to pre-qualified ideas that are aligned with your goals.

If you are looking for a relationship with a team focusing on finding the best ideas with the fastest ROI and institutional backing for clinical support, you may want to keep reading.

The Zewski Report works with clinical inventors to assess their device ideas comprehensively, including cost, timeline, risk, and resources. Once validated by market research, funding is needed to move the project forward.

This is where you come in.

With The Zewski Report, you can review these potential investments on your own time, then pick and choose which opportunities you want to pursue and help bring to market.
