In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, connected medical devices no longer exist in isolation — they form part of complex digital health ecosystems. These devices are expected to deliver more than clinical output; they must generate a continuous stream of data and interactions that connect patients, providers, and health systems. When harnessed effectively, this connectivity extends care beyond the point of treatment, streamlines clinical workflows, and enables new service models that improve outcomes and reduce costs.
Realizing this potential requires medtech companies to look beyond the device itself and embrace strategies that integrate their products into broader digital health ecosystems. The shift from standalone devices to fully integrated digital solutions is not just a technological evolution — it represents a fundamental strategic and engineering transformation.
This whitepaper explores how medtech companies can successfully navigate this transition, bridging the gap between traditional device development and digital health innovation. It examines the implications for physical device design, software architecture, and systems integration, as well as the technical, operational, and regulatory challenges that arise along the way.
Drawing on insights from experts at Inspire, Natus, and S3 Connected Health, the paper provides practical guidance across the entire product lifecycle — from concept and design to development and ongoing management — to help teams build devices that thrive in today’s connected healthcare environment.
