Medtech devices range from those that patients can see during routine check-ups, such as blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes, or thermometers, to those that they may prefer not to see, such as advanced surgical instruments and machines used to treat more severe conditions.
Fremont, CA: It is no secret that healthcare systems around the world are facing increasing costs, which are compounded by aging populations, chronic illness, and complex care needs. However, patients are gradually encountering the possible solution to this issue in the form of advanced medical technology (MedTech) and the Internet of Medical Stuff (IoMT).
The Emergence of MedTech and IoMT
Medtech devices range from those that patients can see during routine check-ups, such as blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes, or thermometers, to those that they may prefer not to see, such as advanced surgical instruments and machines used to treat more severe conditions. Market wellness apps are also included.
