Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine 

Quantum computing, the next evolution of classical computing, holds the potential to unlock new capabilities by redefining how information is processed. 

This month’s cover feature looks at the potential of quantum computing in overcoming complex biomedical challenges as the technology begins to progress from the lab to the clinic.

We also examine how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming spine surgery and the implications of the first AI-automated IVF procedure and how it may represent the beginning of a new era in fertility treatment.

In this month’s interview, we spoke with Orleigh Bogle, Medtronic’s head of medical affairs for digital surgery, to learn more about what the company is doing to evolve the surgical training provision to meet the dynamic requirements of the modern operating room.

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