Powering through the future of MedTech: Data Driven Innovation in Healthcare with AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine and science is rapidly impacting the healthcare industry. As a forerunner in this space, data and the systems powering that data help leading providers reshape their business. As competition increases, MedTech OEMs may want to remain focused on:
- Technology that can deliver better patient outcomes,
- Building agility and sustainability into the product’s lifecycle,
- Producing solutions at scale – regionally and globally,
- Reducing financial risk and expense, while managing credit and cash flow, and
- Accelerating time to market.
Positioning A Medtech Business for Growth
Strategic developments that should be considered include:
- Leveraging vast amounts of data, likely at the edge.
- The adoption of large language models (LLMs).
- The growing role of cloud providers and hyperscalers, like Microsoft.

Our view of Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Healthcare and Life Sciences Data, Analytics and AI 2025
From our experience in the Healthcare sector, here’s three instances where the information in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ will be of the most value.
- Data Management - The collation, maintenance and execution of a data and analytics strategy will help you leverage vast amounts of data being generated throughout healthcare, increasingly including compute-heavy visuals, images and scans.
- Data Utilization - With performance measuring and reporting, AI can be used for modeling to assist in predicting outcomes and therefore next actions to help with diagnosis and treatment.
- LLMs - The adoption of large medical models across a range of critical areas offers opportunity but also risk if not managed correctly. AI-driven complex LLMs trained on vast amounts of patient data offer powerful predictive futures and require powerful hardware solutions.
Why Is a Hype Cycle helpful?
For us, the key highlight from the 2025 Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Healthcare Data, Analytics and AI is, of course, the Hype Cycle graphic itself (See Figure 1). This Hype Cycle tracks the emerging technologies that will have the greatest impact on data, analytics and AI initiatives in the payer, provider and life science sectors. This methodology gives you a view of how a technology or application will evolve over time, against a large peer context providing a sound source of insight to manage its deployment within your specific business goals.
