The CoreValve™ System: Transforming Treatment for Aortic Stenosis
Medtronic's CoreValve™ system offers a groundbreaking approach to treating severe aortic stenosis in patients who are not surgical candidates. By providing education and training programs for healthcare professionals (HCPs), Medtronic ensures the safe adoption of this innovative therapy. HCP proctors, who are highly skilled in the new therapy, visit sites to oversee the implementation, ensuring adherence to procedural best practices.
Pioneering Clinical Research: Advancing Neurological and Psychological Treatment
Medtronic collaborates with leading researchers globally to conduct studies using the Activa®PC+S deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. This groundbreaking system allows for the sensing and recording of brain signals while delivering targeted DBS therapy. Through collaboration, the research may lead to personalized DBS therapy, adjusting treatment based on individual patient needs.
Consulting for Patient Education: Improving Diabetes Management
Medtronic works closely with HCP advisors to develop patient education materials for diabetes management. This collaboration ensures that the materials align with how HCPs prescribe and manage new technologies, benefiting patients who play a vital role in managing their conditions through insulin pumps and glucose sensors.
Fostering Innovation: Industry-Leading Collaborations
Medtronic's history is marked by successful collaborations with healthcare professionals, leading to breakthrough innovations like wearable pacemakers, deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, and insulin pump therapy. Collaboration with HCPs has also driven the development of critical medical advancements, including penicillin, CAT scans, vaccines, and knee replacements.
Commitment to Transparency: Upholding Public Trust in Collaboration
Medtronic places great emphasis on transparency in its collaborations with healthcare professionals. The company adheres to strict policies to ensure ethical interactions and has made significant investments to comply with reporting requirements.
