Greenlight Guru

Greenlight Guru is a purpose-built software platform serving 1,100+ medical device companies worldwide, combining AI-powered Quality Management System (QMS) and Electronic Data Capture (EDC) software to help medtech teams move faster, stay compliant, and grow with confidence. Founded on the observation that paper-based quality management systems are painful, risky, and inefficient, Greenlight Guru was developed to give medical device companies a modern, intuitive solution for bringing higher-quality, life-changing products to market more efficiently and with less risk.

The company was co-founded by Jon Speer, a medical device engineer turned consultant, and David DeRam, and has grown significantly over the years. In 2022, Greenlight Guru acquired SMART-TRIAL, a leading Electronic Data Capture solution provider, expanding its offering across the full medical device lifecycle. The company also acquired Vertex Intelligence, a data consultancy that has helped integrate AI capabilities across the Greenlight Guru platform. Today, the platform supports the entire medical device lifecycle — from pre-market development through post-market surveillance and clinical evidence generation.

Quality Management Modules

• Document Management: Control documents, training, and change processes in one place, with automated routing, audit trails, role-based access, and full traceability.
• Quality Events: Log, track, and resolve CAPAs, audits, and nonconformances in a connected system that links quality events to training and documentation, maintaining audit-ready records at all times.
• Suppliers & Operations: Qualify suppliers and manage parts with full visibility across the supply chain.
• Compliance and Risk Management: Track and manage operational risk across the QMS, from regulatory requirements to audit readiness and CAPA trend analysis.

Product Development Modules

• Requirements Management: Link customer needs, design requirements, and verification activities directly to design controls, enabling a fully traceable Design History File (DHF).
• Software Release Management: Automate traceability from development tools to accelerate software releases and maintain compliance for SiMD and SaMD products.
• Risk Management: Assess and manage ISO 14971 risk as requirements and tests evolve throughout the product development process, with AI-powered suggestions and predictive verifiability checks.

Clinical Evidence Modules

• Clinical Trials: Capture compliant, audit-ready clinical data across every phase of a study — from first-in-human to post-market — using a validated medical EDC system.
• PMCF (Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up): Plan and manage PMCF activities aligned to EU MDR expectations, with connected data, documents, and workflows.
• ePRO/eCOA: Collect clinical outcome data in-person or remotely on any device, supporting flexible and decentralized study designs.

Core Platform Capabilities

• AI, Data, and Intelligence: AI-powered tools help teams find issues faster, make smarter decisions, and reduce manual work across quality and development workflows.
• Built-in Traceability: The platform digitally manages the DHF with built-in traceability between design inputs, outputs, verifications, and product risk controls.
• Guided Implementation: Personalized implementation plans are designed to deliver measurable time-to-value in weeks, not months or years.
