The paper highlights the need for harmonization of protection requirements and adaptive regulatory models that balance patient safety with the facilitation of technological development. It concludes with the aid of recommending collaborative approaches regarding regulators, enterprise stakeholders, and healthcare vendors to create a more equitable and green global regulatory landscape that ensures each safety and accessibility of scientific gadgets global.
