The latest issue of Advanced MedTech Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) spotlights a diverse slate of innovations across structural heart therapies, diabetes and metabolic monitoring, interventional tools, surgical navigation, neuromodulation, surgical robotics, advanced wearables, and AI-driven risk prediction and behavioral modelling.

The issue features a biomimetic, single-piece transcatheter aortic valve to restore laminar flow and longevity in aortic stenosis; needle-free glucose sensing using magnetohydrodynamic extraction of interstitial fluid; high-pressure balloon inflators with low-light gauges for complex interventions; and smart obstetric gloves with fingertip sensors for objective, real-time labor assessment. Surgical guidance and robotics include cost-efficient navigation with reusable trackers, projection-mapped anatomy that keeps the surgeon’s focus in the field, ultra-portable sterile enclosures for decentralized care, and software-first, surgeon-in-the-loop autonomous platforms that integrate with existing endoscopic workflows. Digital and AI themes span smart medical ecosystems combining continuous glucose data for real-time dosing and remote review; AI  long-term ECG (electrocardiogram)  models predicting arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and long term mortality; large behavioral models that build multimodal digital twins for hyper personalized insights; an adhesive free, 3D printed wearable that continuously samples skin emitted gases for longitudinal monitoring; and early non-invasive focused ultrasound headsets targeting deep brain regions for at home cognitive care.
