3D printing technology is creating customized medical devices, implants, and even working toward printing functional human organs. Custom prosthetics, dental implants, and surgical guides can now be produced quickly and affordably, tailored precisely to individual patient anatomy. The ultimate goal of bioprinting functional human organs for transplantation remains on the horizon, with researchers successfully printing simple tissues and working toward more complex organs that could solve the organ shortage crisis.

Networked medical devices are creating an ecosystem of connected healthcare that improves monitoring and care delivery. The Internet of Medical Things encompasses the growing network of connected medical devices, from insulin pumps to hospital equipment, creating an integrated healthcare ecosystem. These devices communicate with each other and with healthcare systems, automatically updating electronic health records, alerting staff to patient status changes, and optimizing workflows to reduce errors and improve efficiency.
