Accelerating MedTech innovation: From discovery to impact

From personalised medicine to connected healthcare, women's health and AI-powered diagnostics, new technologies are creating opportunities to improve patient outcomes and transform healthcare delivery. Yet barriers around clinical evidence, regulation, manufacturing scale-up and adoption continue to slow progress.

Drawing on insights from CPI's Innovation in MedTech and Diagnostics Conference 2026 in London, this report explores the trends shaping the sector and what they mean for organisations developing the next generation of healthcare technologies.

What you'll discover

• The future of diagnostics: How earlier detection, genomics and point-of-care testing are enabling more preventative approaches to healthcare.

• Overcoming barriers to adoption: Why evidence generation, regulation, reimbursement and scalable manufacturing are critical to commercial success.

• Opportunities in women's health: How emerging technologies could address unmet needs and improve patient outcomes.

• Tackling antimicrobial resistance: The role of rapid diagnostics and smarter clinical decision-making in addressing a growing healthcare challenge.

• Connected and personalised care: How remote monitoring, biosensors and digital technologies are changing patient pathways.

• AI in healthcare: Where AI is making an impact in diagnostics and pathology, and what innovators must demonstrate to support clinical adoption.
