Advances in healthcare technology are giving people more personalized treatment choices than ever. Choices that help them spend more time doing what they love and less time worrying about their medical conditions. With hyper-personalization and advanced computing, our healthcare technology focuses on each patient — adapting to their lifestyles to improve outcomes.

Personalized care anywhere

Patient-centered care delivers the right solutions to the right place at the right time. Take our partnership with Virtua Health to deliver home-based, integrated healthcare to patients living in Southern New Jersey. Powered by digital tools developed by Medtronic LABS, the Healthy Neighbor program addressed not only the medical needs of patients throughout the area. It also personalized care delivery for every individual, tackling the specific social barriers that prevent positive health outcomes.

It’s not just innovation — it's personal


Tackling the world’s toughest health challenges requires innovation that adapts to every individual. And by harnessing artificial intelligence and advanced robotics — we’re making healthcare more personal than ever. The result is technology that opens doors for people, patients, and the planet.

State-of-the-art healthcare technology

For patients coping with challenging medical conditions, needing to spend less time focused on healthcare is important. That’s why we developed a sacral neuromodulation system for incontinence to last for 15 years, giving patients more time between surgeries. The system includes access to a smart patient programmer so they can adjust their therapy without having to go to a doctor’s office. Shamay Bullington, an active mother of twins, was among the first people in the United States to receive the system. She is now living her best life, “And it’s a beautiful thing,” Shamay says.

Personalized treatment means treatment for you. Technologies that understand that your disease is different than somebody else’s and warrants a specific treatment are transforming healthcare as we know it.”

When ordinary is extraordinary

When it comes to caring for people, innovation alone is not enough. Medtronic creates healthcare solutions that have real-world impact, helping patients return to their regular activities. Like a pain management therapy that allowed a grandmother to reclaim her active lifestyle. And an AFib treatment that helped get a former bodybuilder off the sidelines. Or a timely stroke treatment that had a significant impact on one young mother’s life.

Personalized pain relief

Until recently, people who suffer from chronic pain had few alternatives that eliminated the cause or managed the symptoms. We are working to change that. Already, we offer spinal cord stimulation and targeted drug delivery therapies proven to help treat pain. We recognize the fact that patients have different needs, which is why one of our implantable neurostimulators automatically adjusts therapy as a patient moves, delivering a personalized pain treatment based on seven unique body positions.

Getting back on the dance floor

Rebecca Clements loved to dance with her husband. But chronic, debilitating back pain eventually left her immobile and dependent on morphine. After having a device implanted for spinal cord stimulation, the positive effects were immediate for Rebecca, who has now resumed some of her favorite activities — including dancing. “It’s just amazing,” she says. “I walked into the hospital [leaning] on my cane and walked out holding it.”

Personal healthcare technology for better outcomes

Innovation is at the core of what we do. We are inspired to run with our best ideas, especially when they make life easier for patients. Our people-centered solutions are designed to fit patients’ lifestyles and lead to better outcomes. With the power of personalized healthcare technology, patients can receive the right solutions at the right place at the right time.
