Though many of the clients requesting projects are established medtech firms launching new products, there has been a substantial increase in newly funded startups.

It would seem that key players in the medical industry have fully realized the significance of utilizing the best media to promote technologies, train healthcare providers, and educate patients. One thing that that is certain, 2014 will be a year of unprecedented innovation and advancements in medical technology.
