Strategic insight for the next generation of diagnosis and treatment for data driven healthcare
MedTech
The fusion of technologies are blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological worlds.
We have vast experience in analysing data across the broad range of patented technologies underpinning this transformation.
This ranges from AI and machine learning to the ‘Internet of Things’, making it possible for us to support you in understanding the patent landscape and in developing your patent strategy.
Building a Taxonomy for MedTech
A Taxonomy for patented technologies in MedTech and Life-sciences can include the following:
- AI in biotech
- 3D Bioprinting
- Bio-digital twin
- Bioprocessing
- IoT in healthcare
- Gene editing
- Healthcare management
Example of a MedTech Taxonomy
MedTech taxonomy
Types of classifiers that should be included in MedTech Taxonomy include:
- 3D Bio-printing
- Drug development
- Medical imaging
