HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY

Improving people’s lives with groundbreaking tech

How we reinvent care through artificial intelligence, data insights, and robotic-assisted surgery

down arrow dark

It’s the size of a vitamin, but it’s a pacemaker. It’s a tiny wireless machine, but it can listen, syncing up your heartbeat based on the blood flow vibrations it hears. Technology is understanding and unlocking the world’s most complex operating system — the human body. By using tools like artificial intelligence (AI), robotic-assisted surgery, data analytics, and predictive modeling, we are personalising care to make it more efficient, accessible, and equitable.

Each of us is unique. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare doesn’t work. Data is the key to creating therapies for real people in real time. By using tools like AI and machine learning, we gain new insights into the human body to create solutions that help patients and clinicians. Our intelligent endoscopy system(opens new window) uses AI to scan every image taken during a colonoscopy in milliseconds and alerts physicians to the presence of lesions — including small, flat polyps that can easily go undetected by the human eye. Designed to be a powerful new tool in the early detection of colorectal cancer, the system relies on highly effective algorithms to sort through tremendous amounts of data for insight-driven care.

To help create the most effective technology for patients, our engineers build “digital twins,” virtual representations of devices to predict how they will respond in the human body. Combining  computer models and real-world data paves the way for personalised medicine.

“When we bring together the mechanistic understanding [of a device] and patient data, we get a much more complete picture about how that device and the patient will co-exist,” says Medtronic Distinguished Scientist Mark Palmer(opens new window).

Our bold ambition

Healthcare is deeply personal. From welcoming a newborn baby to caring for an aging parent, our most precious, emotional, and trying moments are tied to healthcare. And yet healthcare isn’t “healthy” right now. We have a wealth of technology at our fingertips, and we must harness it to address the challenges of today. Discover conditions earlier. Treat them earlier. Reduce disparities in care. And ensure there is access to care. Society demands it — and the world can’t wait for someday. We need to act today.

Reducing worry with connected tech

Connected devices help patients take control of their health, giving them greater freedom to live their lives. That’s why we design medical devices with the power to connect to smartphones and tablets. In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, it’s what patients expect, and what they deserve. With our hybrid closed-loop system for type 1 diabetes — which combines insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring — patients and caregivers can receive regular health updates and alerts. And the power of connected care is available for diabetes patients who rely on multiple daily injections too, thanks to the integration of our continuous glucose monitoring system with the first smart insulin pen cleared by the FDA(opens new window). Now patients can track up-to-date glucose readings and dosage information on a single app.

Robotics for smarter surgery

Already, robots help deliver our packages and clean our homes. Now they’re also giving patients more options than ever. While they don’t replace the expertise of surgeons, our robotic-assisted surgery technologies are designed to provide unparalleled access and precision in complex spine and cranial procedures and minimally invasive soft-tissue surgeries.

Combining robotic-assisted surgery with next-generation computing, visualisation, and artificial intelligence may give clinicians a new way to deliver more predictable, standardised — yet personalised — care. By using our surgical video and data platform(opens new window), clinicians can record, store, and analyse procedures. So every surgery can be a learning opportunity to improve outcomes, taking the expression “see one, do one, teach one” to a new level.

Opening new frontiers

“Our robotic-assisted surgery platform is designed to deliver the most meaningful solution for surgeons, hospitals, and the central focus of our work, patients,” says Megan Rosengarten, President of Surgical Robotics at Medtronic. In October 2021, the system received Conformité Européenne (CE) Mark approval in Europe(opens new window) and in December, it received Health Canada license, in both cases for urologic and gynecologic procedures. Combining the latest technology with world-class training, this innovation ushers in a new era full of possibilities.
