British company Cambridge Medical Robotics is setting out to launch the world’s smallest surgical robot and take on a multi-billion dollar industry dominated by an American goliath. We speak to co-founder and CEO Martin Frost about the Versius robotic system for universal minimal access surgery and the company’s plans for carving out a niche in the rapidly growing market for surgical robotics. 


Emerging and developing economies such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia represent significantly under-served markets for healthcare products and services, including medical devices. Bryan Wyatt, global head of medical technology & healthcare at Cyient, explores key considerations for international medical device makers looking for new business in these markets.


As always, we also round up the latest news from the medical device industry, and get comment and analysis from GlboalData’s healthcare analysts on market dynamics, product innovation, regional developments and regulatory issues.
