The middle of 2017 is shaping up to be a continued whirlwind of activity for medtech. FDA is getting used to its new leadership but is facing a continued lack of clarity on user fees and UDIs.

And patient-focused health is increasingly married to consumer electronics – the latest example being Dexcom’s recent partnerships with Apple to incorporate glucose sensors into the Apple Watch.
