About the MedTech Industry
Medical technology innovators in the US and abroad are committed to providing physicians the best tools to diagnose and treat patients. More than 6,000 companies in the U.S. -- many with 100 employees or less -- are committed to creating medical miracles everyday. California, Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Delaware, Utah, New Hampshire, and Ohio are among the many states that host a vibrant MedTech community.
From 1980 to 2000, rapid technological progress in this sector created profound results:
- a 15% decline in annual mortality,
- a 25% decline in disability rates,
- a 56% reduction in hospital days
- and, a 3.2 year increase in life expectancy.
