The rapid advancement of innovation today is propelling fundamental changes in all industries. Among them, the health and medtech sectors are ones that will be transformed drastically in the coming years.

The medical devices and technology market will reach $500 billion in sales by 2021, according to a new analysis from Evaluate. Therefore, it is no wonder that both corporations and startups are viewing medtech as a promising industry that can not only evolve the sector, but also change our quality of life.

Yet medtech startups face complexity around data sensitivity, regulation and healthcare commercialization that constrain the process of scalability.
