Innovations and Growth Opportunities in Metal-Based Implants, AI-Based Imaging, Advanced Wound Care, Ophthalmic Screening, and Ophthalmic Robots

The latest issue of Advanced MedTech Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) profiles a wide range of innovations from the advanced medical device and imaging industry. Innovations in metal alloys and metal-based implants for various orthopedic surgeries such as knee arthroplasty, cervical corpectomy, and spine surgery are discussed in this issue. Apart from implants, a metal material innovation in-stent is also discussed. Artificial intelligence-based imaging solutions for early detection of cancer are also profiled. Innovations in ophthalmic monitoring enabling self-monitoring or teleophthalmology are covered. Besides monitoring, the role of robots in ophthalmology for performing cataract surgery, or giving intravitreal injections, or for minimally invasive ocular drug delivery is discussed in the issue. Additionally, wound care innovations such as advanced wound closure devices, skin patch or smartphone-based wound monitoring and assessment, and the use of bioprinted skin grafts for chronic wounds are also covered. These innovations portray the diversity in their technology readiness levels, indicating an immediate or potential market impact. The growth opportunities for all these advanced medical device technologies are also covered in this issue.

The Advanced MedTech TOE analyzes and reports new and emerging technologies; advances in R&D, product development, and regulatory matters specifically related to the areas of CT, MRI, NM, PET, ultrasound, X-ray, neurology, ophthalmology, respiratory/anesthesia, wound care, and management, surgical tools and instrumentation, drug delivery, orthopedics, endoscopy, cardiology, and monitoring. In addition, relevant developments in fusion technologies, functional imaging technology, interventional cardiology, and image-guided surgery and healthcare IT related areas such as PACS, medical information storage, and disaster recovery/business continuance will also be covered.

Medical devices and imaging technology and innovation research cover cutting-edge global developments in medical devices and imaging sectors such as biosensors, biomaterials, biomechanics, microtechnologies, nanotechnologies, assistive technologies, and imaging technologies and platforms.
