MPO recently spoke to Ali Dianaty, SVP of product innov […]
New data platforms illuminate murky healthcare referral networks, helping medtech companies target education efforts.
Longitudinal patient data transforms referral blind spots into clear pathways for optimal specialized care.
80% of physicians report being overworked, making it crucial for medtech to guide treatment awareness.
Is Digital Health Evolving Too Quickly?
Digital health is evolving in leaps and bounds, which could be threatening its success. Digital healthcare faces a significant challenge: it is evolving too rapidly for its target market. Health systems struggle to develop new workflows that effectively integrate these technologies, and trying to force them into legacy processes often adds more problems to an overburdened system.
Wearable Mimics CT Scans, Delivers Continuous Monitoring of Heart, Lungs
Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind wearable device capable of continuously scanning the lungs and heart of hospital patients while they rest in bed — offering a revolutionary alternative to CT scans.
3D Ink Improves Comfort, Durability of ‘Smart Wearables’
Researchers have demonstrated a 3D ink printing method for so-called smart fabrics that continues to perform well after repeated washings and abrasion tests. The research represents a breakthrough in smart fabric comfort and durability, as well as using a process that is more environmentally friendly.
The Growing Connectivity Dimensions in Medical Technology
Artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), remote treatments, smart wearables, robotic mobility, and automation. Next to the ongoing evolution of evermore precise images and real-time videos, as well as evermore mobile and compact machines, the recent communication megatrends shift medical technology into the next level of healthcare digitalization.
Managing Miniaturization: Thermal Protection Is Critical at Any Size
Medical devices have been around for centuries. Egyptians designed bronze scalpels and lancets almost 5,000 years ago, but today, pacemakers, artificial joints, and 3D-printed implants are the norm, and far more compact and complex.
Fiber Computer Allows Apparel to Run Apps and “Understand” the Wearer
What if the clothes you wear could care for your health? MIT researchers have developed an autonomous programmable computer in the form of an elastic fiber, which could monitor health conditions and physical activity, alerting the wearer to potential health risks in real time.
Wound Dressings Made of Drug-Releasing Polymers
Electrospinning has been used to produce polymer fibers containing the well-known antibacterial drug metronidazole. The mats formed could potentially be used as wound dressings, thanks to an appropriately selected polymeric structure capable of releasing the drug into the body in a controlled manner.
As electromagnetic (EM) sensors become core components in next-generation wearables, implants, and neurotech devices, product designers face a deceptively simple yet critical choice early in development: should they rely on off-the-shelf components or pursue a custom solution?
Guest Editorial: The Power of One When Choosing Stent and Catheter Partners
As device designs become increasingly sophisticated, medtech companies are understandably seeking contract design and manufacturing partners that can accompany them on comprehensive product journeys — from initial concept to validation to large-scale manufacturing, and everything in between. This places a differentiating premium on partners with the ability to combine ideation and early-stage development with materials science and process technologies.
In the age of AI and automation, if industries are not ahead of the curve, they are often falling behind.
According to a May DeDeloitte survey that connected with 600 executives from large manufacturing companies based in the U.S., 90% of manufacturing leaders see smart factory initiatives as critical. Specifically, the integration of advanced automation, real-time data analytics, and AI-driven decision-making.
A pacemaker is a small device that helps control your heartbeat so you can return to your normal life. It has three main parts: a pulse generator that creates electrical signals, a controller-monitor that manages these signals, and leads that deliver the signals to the heart. One key benefit of the pacemaker is its strong titanium casing. Titanium is very strong and lightweight, and it is biocompatible, meaning it works well with the body without causing harmful reactions. This metal is highly resistant to corrosion, which helps keep the casing intact and protective even when exposed to bodily fluids.
Vapor degreasing emerges as a superior cleaning method for complex medical electronics, ensuring regulatory compliance.
Proper electronics cleaning validation is critical for patient safety as medical devices become increasingly miniaturized.
Structured IQ/OQ/PQ validation framework essential for medical device manufacturers facing heightened regulatory scrutiny.
Test and Measurement: Regulatory Updates and Strategic Implications
Medical device companies are operating in a climate of rapid transformation. The traditional regulatory and testing frameworks that have guided development for decades are evolving, prompted by technological innovation, increased globalization, and lessons learned during recent public health challenges.
EUDAMED compliance will soon be mandatory for all medical device makers seeking EU market access, not just EU companies.
Delaying EUDAMED registration risks market disruption while early adopters gain competitive advantages.
The system transitions from voluntary to mandatory in early 2026, requiring immediate preparation.
