As medtech continues to evolve, so do the strategies of investors. Deloitte's recent Health Forward blog explores how VC and PE firms are shifting focus to high-growth areas like cardiovascular disease, surgical robotics, and AI-driven medtech solutions. According to Joe Heanue of Triple Ring Technologies, "The shift toward AI and digital surgery is transforming medtech, with implications for how care is delivered, costs are reduced, and outcomes are improved." Curious about how these trends will impact the future of #healthcare? Read more from Glenn Snyder here: https://lnkd.in/gPaQB9Jc

The structure of this deal is so interesting. 🏮 Edwards Lifesciences is committing three identical amounts ($5.44 million) for equity, options and licensing of Affluent Medical #structuralheart technology - totaling $16.3 million cited in the headline. 🏮That's roughly what publicly traded Affluent lost last year - 15.4 million Euros (which today is $16.6m). 🏮 Affluent's market cap is only 60 million Euros, so Edwards probably could have acquired the company out right. Edwards is focused exclusively on structural heart projects now, so it'll be interesting to see if this is a conservative investment model for deals going forward. #medtech #medicaldevices #startups #medicaldevice DeviceTalks MassDevice

🌐 Technology Spotlight: Fascicular Mapper - Precision Redefined in Intrafascicular Electrode Implantation! 🧠💡 Embark on a journey of innovation with our groundbreaking technology, the Fascicular Mapper, set to revolutionize bioelectric medicine and intrafascicular electrode implantation procedures. 🚀 Abstract: Our invention introduces a fascicular mapper that meticulously maps out fascicular regions, coupled with a strategic method for its application during intrafascicular electrode implantation. Addressing critical challenges in bioelectric medicine, this advancement aims to enhance not only selectivity but also the specificity of peripheral neural interfaces (PNI). Benefits: Improved Electrode Placement: Surgeons can achieve precise electrode placement, ensuring optimal contact with targeted nerve fibers for enhanced functionality. Enhanced Neural Interface: A clearer understanding of fascicular regions facilitates more effective communication between implanted devices and the nervous system. Reduced Risk of Damage: Detailed mapping minimizes potential damage to nerves and surrounding tissues during the electrode implantation process. Faster Recovery: Accurate electrode placement results in reduced tissue trauma, potentially leading to a faster recovery for patients. Increased Effectiveness: Better targeting of specific nerve fibers improves device effectiveness in motor control, sensory feedback, or pain management. Customized Treatment: Tailored electrode implantation allows for personalized treatment plans based on each patient's unique fascicular anatomy. Reduced Need for Adjustments: Optimized electrode placement may reduce the need for post-implantation adjustments, lowering the likelihood of additional surgical interventions. Improved Patient Outcomes: Precise placement, enhanced interfaces, and reduced tissue damage contribute to better patient outcomes in terms of function, comfort, and overall quality of life. Facilitated Research: The invention aids in advancing research on nerve stimulation therapies, fostering a better understanding of the relationship between electrode placement and treatment outcomes. Broader Applications: Applicable to various neural interfacing areas, potentially improving outcomes for a wider range of patients and conditions.
