Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine  

Happy New Year! As 2024 kicks off we take a deep dive into the M&A, technology and regulatory trends that defined 2023 and look ahead at what to expect this year.

We also explore why the healthcare industry may be hesitant to join the metaverse. Emerging technologies such as AR and VR are becoming increasingly routine for professional training, surgical assistance, and treatment for psychological and neurological disorders. However, commercial uptake and affordability remain limiting factors to the widespread adoption of new digital products and opportunities.

Stay with us throughout 2024 for all the latest medical device industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData.
