Research, data, analysis — the foundation of innovation that improves lives
No one stakeholder has all the answers. To successfully innovate solutions to the pressing issues in healthcare, we need input from those who study healthcare, administer care, and receive care. We facilitate discussion and encourage innovation. Find out how.
Creating solutions to complex challenges starts with shared knowledge. We are proud to sponsor the Harvard Business Review (HBR) Innovation Center, a collection of articles that details ideas, initiatives, and issues in healthcare innovation.
Medtronic sponsored a research paper by the Harvard Business Review Analytic Services to identify and discuss three ways healthcare can leverage data. The paper, “Three Keys to Unlocking Data-Driven Healthcare,” is a thought-provoking examination of ways in which data and analytics can drive the transformation of healthcare. Healthcare generates volumes of data — the challenge is knowing which data to use and how.
Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, allows Medtronic scientists and engineers to accelerate research and development. The ability to rapidly create prototypes of tools and models of human anatomy enable improved simulation and training. Innovation fast-tracked.
Scientists and engineers have no shortage of adjectives for nitinol, a metal alloy made from nickel and titanium. Durable. Flexible. Superelastic. Strong. And, remarkably so, which translates to exciting possibilities for those at the forefront of medical technology.
Using the same technology that compressed computing into the palm of your hand, microelectronics experts in Arizona, along with designers, engineers, and medical experts in Minnesota and elsewhere, found they could reinvent medical devices, using just a fraction of the space.
Medtronic is using Brain Radio™ Technology to decode the human brain's electrical orders and find new ways to treat brain disorders. Discover more about this fascinating and promising research.
