The medical device industry is undergoing a major transformation driven by emerging technologies such as AI in medical devices, precision fluid dispensing, and smart factory capabilities. In a recent webinar, industry leaders Ahmed Khan (Nordson EFD), Audrey Sherman (Solventum), and Axel Wirth (MedCrypt) explored key medical device manufacturing trends that are reshaping how products are designed, produced, and secured.
Smaller medical devices are becoming more common, requiring advanced material science and innovative adhesive solutions to ensure performance and durability. At the same time, the rise of home-based care introduces new cybersecurity challenges, making medical device cybersecurity a top priority. Manufacturers must now safeguard not only the devices but also the manufacturing environments, which are increasingly powered by Factory 4.0 and smart factory technologies.
AI is also playing a growing role in diagnostics, therapy, and device development, yet it also introduces new cybersecurity risks.
To stay competitive, medical device companies must partner with technology providers to accelerate innovation while managing risk. Read the full executive summary to gain actionable insights into how industry leaders are shaping the next generation of medical devices.
