🎙️The new episode of has dropped!
In this episode, we sat down with Benjamin Meany, Senior Manager Digital, Software and AI Regulation.
Listen in as Benjamin shares insights on how the sector is securing devices and data, and what policy actions are needed to better protect healthcare infrastructure.
After her surgery, Lucy’s recovery was put at risk by something she couldn’t see — antimicrobial resistance.
With the help of innovative medical technology, she felt safe again. It offered more than protection. It gave her peace of mind when she needed it most.
Watch Lucy's story in this episode of , presented by MedTech Europe and produced by BBC StoryWorks.
Robotic-assisted surgery isn’t just on the horizon – it’s transforming healthcare right now.
By offering high precision, steadiness, and control, robotics not only supports improved patient recovery but also creates a smoother working environment for surgical teams.
In Consultant Surgeon Jim Khan’s hospital, the technology is now being used for a wider range of procedures including high-volume and same-day surgeries, which is helping patients get home sooner while avoiding unnecessary complications.
Kirsty’s experience is the perfect example of how determination combined with medical technology can change lives. Born with clubfoot, she spent years coping with pain and restricted movement.
Thanks to medical innovation, she’s now able to walk freely, travel extensively, and compete on the world stage.🥇
Discover how innovation helped turn everyday challenges into a life full of movement and new opportunities.
💜On International Youth Day, we celebrate the resilience of young people living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and call for policies that ensure every child and teen has access to treatment and care.
🤝 Let’s give the next generation a healthier, brighter future in which diabetes doesn’t hold them back!

On World Ophthalmologist Day, Stella and Gemma share their story: twin artists who are navigating the challenges of glaucoma with remarkable creativity.
Their story underscores the importance of early detection using medical technologies like retinal imaging and visual field tests, especially for people with a family history of the disease.
Today, they still paint, still exhibit, and still create art. All because of the right test at the right time.

Today, on , we reaffirm our commitment to enhanced efficiency and circularity in the management of medical technologies. 🌍
MedTech Europe advocates for a shift towards circular healthcare systems, moving from a “take-make-dispose” model to approaches that maximise product lifetime, reduce material use, and support innovation.
With over 2 million medical technologies on the EU market, circularity must be tailored from reprocessing to recycling, modular design and beyond. To realise this, we call for a Circular Economy Act that supports sustainability while ensuring patient safety and regulatory coherence.
Let’s build a more circular, resilient and sustainable future for healthcare and our environment. Learn more here ➡️ https://bit.ly/4mNYgbC

During , we highlight the essential role of diagnostic tools in the early detection of cancer.
While they guide 66% of clinical decisions, diagnostics account for just 2% of healthcare budgets. With up to 50% of cancers preventable, investing in diagnostics is essential for better patient outcomes 🩺.
From lab tests to imaging technologies, medical innovations 🔬 are enabling earlier, more accurate cancer detection.
That’s the — empowering healthcare professionals and strengthening patient care pathways.
We’re calling for a multi-stakeholder approach to build policy frameworks that accelerate the adoption of new medical technologies.

MedTech Europe’s mission is to make innovative medical technology available to more people, while helping healthcare systems move towards a sustainable path. MedTech Europe encourages policies that help the medical technology industry meet Europe’s growing healthcare needs and expectations. It also promotes medical technology’s value for Europe focusing on innovation and stakeholder relations, using economic research and data, communications, industry events and training sessions.
MedTech Europe started as an alliance in October 2012 formed by two organisations – EDMA, representing the European in vitro diagnostic industry; and Eucomed, representing the European medical devices industry.
Promoting a balanced policy environment
MedTech Europe engages with EU regulators, politicians and other decision-makers to help shape policies to promote innovation for our growing healthcare needs and expectations.
Demonstrating the value of medical technology
MedTech Europe promotes to its members and the wider industry value-based innovations that support more sustainable healthcare systems.
We use economic research to show the benefits of medical technology and we organise many initiatives to explain the value we bring to healthcare systems in Europe. We bring stakeholders together to discuss trends, issues and opportunities.
