Specialist in Medical Devices, Clinical Evidence & Orthopaedics
Dr Harry Hothi, BEng, MSc, PhD
Biomedical engineering professional with over 17 years expertise at the intersection of orthopaedic implants and technology, clinical evidence and analysis, post-market surveillance, healthcare standards, regulatory science, scientific due diligence and academic research.
I have worked closely with surgeons, NHS/European clinical R&D teams, industry innovators (e.g. DePuy, Stryker, Globus Medical/NuVasive, MatOrtho, JRI), and regulatory bodies (e.g. MHRA, Beyond Compliance, HPRA) to drive device performance and patient safety. My roles have involved leading multidisciplinary teams to manage clinical studies, device evaluations, and product development projects.
I am currently the Lead for Evidence Analysis in Orthopaedics at Smith & Nephew, responsible for leading high-value, cross-functional projects that translate complex clinical and scientific evidence into strategic insights supporting commercial and regulatory objectives.
I have a proven track record of high-impact achievements: authoring 89+ peer-reviewed publications and delivering 160+ scientific presentations globally, and securing significant industry funding for an MHRA-endorsed post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study involving orthopaedic implants.
