Every MedTech company wants to innovate faster, but most are slowed down by one thing they barely realize is consuming half their development time: technical documentation.

In this episode, Karl J. Larsson, co-founder of Aligned, explains how Word- and Excel-based documentation structures create massive inefficiencies, audit delays, and innovation bottlenecks, and how a lean, software-driven approach transforms both speed and confidence.

In this conversation, Karl and Lucas discuss:

• Why up to 50% of product development time is spent on documentation
• How inconsistent files create “audit anxiety” and costly review cycles
• The real impact of moving from documents to design controls
• How automation strengthens change control and accelerates market access
•  Why freeing engineers from paperwork fuels innovation and sustainability

🎧 If you’re tired of documentation slowing your R&D team down, this episode is your roadmap.
