When Alice was diagnosed with epilepsy as a medical student, she feared her life would change forever. Instead, medical technologies, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), helped uncover the cause of her seizures and gave her a path forward.
Today, she’s not only a doctor but an advocate for colleagues living with invisible disabilities, proving that epilepsy does not define her.

Jacquie Smithson’s journey with multiple sclerosis (MS) began 30 years ago with blurred vision, the first sign of a disease that would change her life.
From early diagnostic tests using advanced medical technologies like MRI scans, lumbar punctures, and visual evoked potentials, to treatments that help her manage her symptoms today, medical technologies have played a crucial role in her story.
Now a consultant gastroenterologist, Jacquie continues to inspire others by sharing her experience, advocating for visibility, and raising awareness through incredible initiatives, including cycling 1,000 miles across Great Britain to support the MS community.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are among the biggest public health threats we face. Each year in Europe, thousands die because of drug-resistant infections.
Medical technologies 🔬 can prevent, detect, monitor, and manage infections, helping to stop resistance before it spreads.
In our latest blog, we share a powerful story that highlights how rapid diagnostics and surveillance technologies saved a life.
This AMR Awareness Week, let’s shine a light on technology-led solutions and call on decision-makers to invest in them to secure our health. Now and for the future.

In this episode, we are joined by Sigrid Linher, MedTech Europe’s Director for Sustainability and Environment.
On the road to UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, listen in as Sigrid shares insights on MedTech Europe’s recent study report commissioned to Boston Consulting Group on “Decarbonising Healthcare: How A Competitive MedTech Industry Can Contribute”.
On this , we’re sharing Serena and Tommy’s remarkable story.
At her 20-week scan, Serena learned her unborn son had spina bifida. Faced with a difficult decision, she and her partner chose fetal surgery, a procedure that changed their baby’s future before he was even born.
Today, Tommy is a thriving one-year-old, full of movement and possibility. 💙
Serena’s journey is a powerful reminder of the difference that innovation, resilience, and hope can make.
When Louise King went for her 13-week scan, she expected to see her baby, Emi, wriggling on the screen. Instead, doctors discovered a life-threatening congenital heart defect.
Thanks to advanced imaging and surgical technologies, Emi received life-saving interventions immediately after birth, from a balloon septostomy to open-heart surgery. Today, she is a healthy three-year-old.
In her story for MedTech Views on , Louise shares how innovation, early detection and support networks made all the difference, offering hope to other families facing similar diagnoses.
On , we highlight the role of medical technology in ensuring safe care and empowering patients’ lives.
Emma and Natalie’s newborn baby, Jack, entered the world eight weeks early, facing life-threatening challenges.
With continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines supporting his breathing, incubators regulating his growth, and specialist lamps treating jaundice, medical technologies were essential in helping Jack survive and thrive in his first weeks of life.

In this episode, we sat down with Benjamin Meany, Senior Manager Digital, Software and AI Regulation.
Listen in as Benjamin shares insights on how the sector is securing devices and data, and what policy actions are needed to better protect healthcare infrastructure.
After her surgery, Lucy’s recovery was put at risk by something she couldn’t see — antimicrobial resistance.
With the help of innovative medical technology, she felt safe again. It offered more than protection. It gave her peace of mind when she needed it most.
Watch Lucy's story in this episode of , presented by MedTech Europe and produced by BBC StoryWorks.
Robotic-assisted surgery isn’t just on the horizon – it’s transforming healthcare right now.
By offering high precision, steadiness, and control, robotics not only supports improved patient recovery but also creates a smoother working environment for surgical teams.
In Consultant Surgeon Jim Khan’s hospital, the technology is now being used for a wider range of procedures including high-volume and same-day surgeries, which is helping patients get home sooner while avoiding unnecessary complications.
Kirsty’s experience is the perfect example of how determination combined with medical technology can change lives. Born with clubfoot, she spent years coping with pain and restricted movement.
Thanks to medical innovation, she’s now able to walk freely, travel extensively, and compete on the world stage.🥇
Discover how innovation helped turn everyday challenges into a life full of movement and new opportunities.

MedTech Europe’s mission is to make innovative medical technology available to more people, while helping healthcare systems move towards a sustainable path. MedTech Europe encourages policies that help the medical technology industry meet Europe’s growing healthcare needs and expectations. It also promotes medical technology’s value for Europe focusing on innovation and stakeholder relations, using economic research and data, communications, industry events and training sessions.
MedTech Europe started as an alliance in October 2012 formed by two organisations – EDMA, representing the European in vitro diagnostic industry; and Eucomed, representing the European medical devices industry.
Promoting a balanced policy environment
MedTech Europe engages with EU regulators, politicians and other decision-makers to help shape policies to promote innovation for our growing healthcare needs and expectations.
Demonstrating the value of medical technology
MedTech Europe promotes to its members and the wider industry value-based innovations that support more sustainable healthcare systems.
We use economic research to show the benefits of medical technology and we organise many initiatives to explain the value we bring to healthcare systems in Europe. We bring stakeholders together to discuss trends, issues and opportunities.
