About Me
Welcome to Writthink Studio!
I’m Florencia Garro, a freelance biomedical engineer with a PhD in Bioengineering & Robotics. I have +10 years of experience in medical devices development and research, and a lifelong passion for writing & communication. In Writthink, I combine these to support medical technologies throughout their lifecycle.
I help MedTech companies, research institutions, and startups with R&D and regulatory development under the EU MDR , data analysis, and scientific/technical writing. My work is focused on (but not limited to) digital medical devices (diagnostics/monitoring technologies, digital therapeutics). I work fluently in English, Spanish, and Italian.
I collaborate flexibly with R&D, clinical, and regulatory teams according to your needs, from early prototype to submission and post-market. I invest time to understand your technology and product strategy so I can speak your device’s language and build the right argument and deliverables for your project.
I work fully remotely, but I am always open to in-person collaboration when feasible. Whether you need a one-off document, end-to-end project support, or a long-term freelance partnership, my goal is to become a trusted extension of your team.
Let’s talk about your next project!
