medtech
Clinical device industry
Medtech is medical technology—the devices, equipment, software, and innovations used in healthcare.
The term covers everything from surgical robots and diagnostic imaging to wearable health monitors and prosthetics.
It also refers to the industry that develops these products: She works in medtech.
As an adjective: a medtech startup, medtech investments.
