Medtech’s New Battleground

In this episode of the Medtech Business Academy, Skender Daerti, Barbara Strain, and Scott Alexander discuss the forces shaping the medical device industry today. With strong earnings and renewed M&A activity, capital is flowing back into medtech. At the same time, hospitals continue to face staffing shortages, labor pressures, and operational constraints.

The conversation explores why workflow and operational efficiency are becoming critical factors in technology adoption. As providers try to do more with fewer resources, medtech companies that simplify processes and integrate into clinical workflows may have the greatest competitive advantage.

This episode examines the intersection of industry consolidation, AI-driven investment trends, and hospital operational realities, and what it means for medtech leaders navigating the next phase of the market.
