Predicting the trends of a new year is always interesting and a bit unpredictable. We asked our medical device design and development professionals to submit their most interesting medtech trends for 2025 and the reasoning behind their prediction. The results were surprisingly focused on two major trends: Home Healthcare and Wearable Devices. Within these categories, several technologies were identified including edge computing, IoT, and connected devices. In no particular ranking, here are our 2025 predictions:

Getting a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) for a medical device right the first time is almost impossible. Datasheets can be misleading, or assumptions and architectures change. As a result, modifications are almost inevitable. Sometimes the modification is as simple as swapping resistors or adding capacitors. Other times it involves tacking on new circuits you had no idea you needed.

Medical device design transfer is a critical phase in the development process, marking the transitory phase from the design and development stage to manufacturing. This phase ensures that the medical device continues to meet its safety, effectiveness, and regulatory compliance once production begins. It is the final phase in the development process and sometimes overlooks or underestimates the amount of time and effort required to ensure that final manufactured devices meet requirements.
