Billions of patients worldwide depend on medical devices and technologies; at home, at the doctor’s office, in hospitals and in nursing homes. Career opportunities in the world of medical technologies range from the research, design and manufacture of simple consumables such as bandages, to electrically active implantable products such as artificial hearts, cardiovascular stents, orthopaedic knees, wheelchairs and contact lenses, to medical software used to record patient data.

MedTech is set to expand as average life expectancy increases and with it the demand for technology to enhance the quality of life of people living with illness.
