Advances in technology can deliver profound benefits for global health systems. We see firsthand how medical technology is helping patients live healthier lives, creating value across the entire healthcare continuum. And when patients who have chronic, costly conditions like diabetes or hypertension successfully manage their illness, it can help reduce hospital stays and readmissions, allowing health systems to operate more efficiently. Medical devices with the power to analyze continuous streams of healthcare data — such as insulin pumps and certain cardiac devices — can help clinicians devise better treatment plans while helping patients live a healthier life.
