One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

A leader in global medtech industry

If you were to examine different hospitals' surgical imaging machines or pacemakers worldwide, the importance of Medtronic would soon become very clear. Medtronic is probably one of the most innovative companies in the world. Over their 70-year lifetime, Medtronic has grown from being a small electrical repair shop in a Minneapolis garage to a global leader in medical technology with a market cap north of $100 billion.

Owner of more than 49,000 patents

Medtronic treats more than 70 health conditions, from Parkinson’s and chronic heart conditions to diabetes, helping over 100 million people worldwide every year. They are one of the leaders in the global Medtech industry and are growing both organically and through M&A. In fact, Medtronic has done, on average, one acquisition every five months over the last decade.

Their four main business segments are:

Medtronic is mainly known for their revolutionary cardiac devices – battery-powered miniature pacemakers – but have a wide product portfolio, including defibrillators, vessel sealing instruments, mesh and spinal implants, bone graft substitutes, highly advanced insulin pumps, and one of their most recent big investments – the surgical robot – Hugo. Together with the insulin pumps, Medtronic offers a sensor system that continuously monitors the level of glucose in a diabetes patient’s blood and automatically sends this data to the pump, which helps it dose insulin more correctly.

With a portfolio of over 49,000 patents and an impressive $2.5 billion annual spend on research and development, Medtronic is unmatched in their industry and continuously pursues new products and improves existing ones.
