In the rapidly evolving landscape of the MedTech industry, most medical professionals are witnessing the emergence of transformative trends set to redefine their healthcare systems, patient engagement, and operational efficiency across medical fields. It facilitates the immersive experiences of the Metaverse to the precision of Robotic Surgery and advancements in Digital Health. Each trend significantly demands a more connected, efficient, and patient-centred healthcare ecosystem.

Smart Medical Devices equipped with advanced computational power, technology, and data analytics techniques, that revolutionised the entire healthcare industry to enable complex medical data analysis to encompass genomics, proteomics, and pharmacogenomic.

This transformative prospect is reflected in the projected growth of the global connected medical device market, which is expected to reach $166.5 billion by 2028 with a remarkable growth in CAGR of 32.1%. Now, so far, 50 billion medical devices have been connecting clinicians, health systems, and patients. The industry is poised for unprecedented transformation in the coming years.

The steady growth of the connected medical device market is inherently linked to the dependency on IoT technologies. It presents extensive opportunities for technological integration throughout the device lifecycle, from manufacturing and maintenance to effective use of healthcare systems.

As the industry adopts these disruptive innovations, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is poised to open a new empire of connected healthcare systems, it signifies a ripe landscape for technological cataclysm and advancement.

The surge in the smart medical device market can be attributed to its ability to deliver significant cost and time efficiencies, thereby serving as a lifeline to patients and enabling MedTech companies to improve their operational efficiency. The healthcare landscape is under stress. Needs seamless operation of medical devices without manned support is imperative to empower frontline healthcare professionals to perform their duties at their best.

One significant aspect contributing to operational efficiency is the incorporation of device connectivity and supporting services to boost the performance of medical devices, particularly in hospital settings. The addition of connectivity promotes the operational efficiency and overall performance of medical devices, thereby amplifying the delivery of high-quality patient care across healthcare settings.

However, mobile technology improvements are poised to revolutionise easy disease diagnostics and patient treatment monitoring, with wearable medical devices serving as clinical tools to identify disease patterns and achieve a deeper understanding of diseases, thereby continuously monitoring users’ health. These personal gadgets offer continuous monitoring of critical health indicators and suggest a paradigm shift in disease management and patient care.

Digital therapeutics have gained immense popularity, especially amidst the global pandemic. These software-based medical devices, often using AI technology, have revolutionised the way clinicians virtually treat, manage, and prevent a wide range of diseases and disorders. These devices offer personalised treatment plans and interventions that can be accessed from the comfort of one’s own home.

Similarly, at-home diagnostics empower individuals to take control of their health by providing tools to self-diagnose potential conditions or diseases. While not necessarily AI-based, these devices serve as effective means of diagnosing various health conditions. The recent boom in at-home diagnostics has revealed a significant opportunity for self-testing to assess a variety of health parameters. Consequently, this surge in at-home diagnostics is expected to lead to increased adoption by consumers, ultimately improving healthcare access and potentially enhancing patient outcomes.

To remain competitive in this rapidly evolving landscape, MedTech companies must adopt the opportunities presented by medical device connectivity.

By incorporating connectivity into their devices, companies can optimize performance, reduce costs, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Medtech companies must secure internal buy-in from key stakeholders, thereby showcasing the value of connected devices for the business, hospitals, and patients. This establishes clear objectives to measure the success of the connected health journey is essential for long-term success.

This shift in mindset allows for a more meaningful position in the healthcare ecosystem, opening up new revenue streams and opportunities for growth.

Choosing the right partner is important when designing, developing, and operating a connected medical device service. Finding a partner with expertise in regulatory compliance, security, and scaling across global markets is essential. This strategic partnership will enable Medtech companies to meet their business goals and continue to scale effectively in the future.
