The Paradigm Shift in Medical Technology: From Hardware Limitations to Software and AI/ML Dominance
Medical technology is undergoing a seismic transformation driven by the rise of impactful new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and internet of things (IoT). One of the most visible aspects of this transformation is the shift from traditional, hardware-based medical devices towards many varieties of software as a medical device (SaMD).
While hardware still plays an important role in contemporary medicine, its limitations in comparison to software-based solutions are causing a major strategic re-thinking on an industry-wide level. This, coupled with the innovative potential and accessibility benefits of SaMD, drives a significant strategic pivot in the MedTech sector.
