Led by CB Insights Research Analyst John Prendergass

The medical device industry is undergoing a fundamental evolution in the way products are both integrated and regulated.

Pacemakers are connected to smartphone apps, neuroprosthetics are integrating man with machine, and mobile platforms are challenging the very definition of a medical device. And investors continue to finance the sector as 2016 saw nearly $4B in financing to private medical device companies.

  • Startup investment trends: Nearly $20B across 2,000+ deals since 2012, broken down by medical specialty.
  • Investor trends: Where VCs like NEA and Versant Ventures or corporates like Johnson & Johnson and Boston Scientific are placing bets.
  • Special focus: Startups using AI and big data analytics to transform how medical device data is interpreted.
  • The road ahead: Emerging technologies and trends to watch
