Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine 

As the healthcare industry becomes more user-centric, there is a growing recognition that the true value of a medical technology lies in how it performs in real-world settings, and impacts both healthcare professionals and patients. In this month's issue, we take a deep dive topic into the concept of experiential value. 

More than just a buzzword, experiential value is now a key factor in the medical technology industry. In a rapidly changing market, companies that are prioritising experiential value are seeing substantial benefits.

We also investigate the reality of in-space manufacturing. As the advantages of microgravity in making products become clearer, companies are sending devices to the International Space Station in a bid to evaluate technology away from Earth’s downward force.

 All this and the latest medtech industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData.
