Reforming Healthcare in Europe - The Need to Transform the Medtech Model in Europe | Buzz e-sante | Scoop.it

Pressure is rising in Europe and will force the medical-technology (medtech) industry to fundamentally change how it operates.

CHANGING THE PLAYING FIELD

Medtech companies must also reinvent how and where they compete—an effort that includes innovating differently, expanding to adjacent markets, and exploring the “value” segment.
