Webinar - Device Talks - Implantable and wearable medical devices

As medtech companies build services that help clinicians make better decisions, support patients in managing their conditions, and enable more proactive models of care, a fundamental question is emerging: where will future value be created, in the device itself, or in the connected ecosystem that surrounds it?

Healthcare is undergoing a fundamental shift from episodic to continuous, connected models of care. In response, medtech companies are building software-enabled services around implantable and wearable devices that support remote monitoring, therapy optimization, clinical decision-making, and patient engagement. As these capabilities mature, value is increasingly being created not only by the device itself, but by the services, insights, and care experiences delivered around it.

In this webinar, Medtronic will discuss how its Patient Care Systems organization is developing connected care capabilities around a growing global base of implantable cardiac devices, to support continuous monitoring, therapy optimization, and more proactive models of care. S3 Connected Health will explore how medtech companies are adapting to this shift, the challenges they face moving beyond device-centric portfolios, and how leading organizations are defining future device and digital health strategies to create new sources of value and establish market leadership.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Why connected ecosystems of care represent the next evolution of implantable and wearable device portfolio.
  • How Medtronic's Patient Care Systems organization is enabling clinician efficiency, continuous connected care, and improved patient outcomes at scale.
  • The strategic, operational, and organizational challenges facing teams navigating this transition.
  • Real-world examples of defining future portfolio strategy and creating innovation roadmaps for long-term growth and differentiation.
