Medical devices are the silent hands or weapons of modern medicine. They are responsible for supporting life, monitoring health, and helping professionals in diagnosis and treatment.
Mistakes aren’t always about human error. Medical devices can also malfunction, and when they do, the outcomes can be devastating. In fact, an NIH report says that nearly 1.7 million injuries and 80,000 deaths were possibly associated with device malfunction between 2008 and 2017.

Each year, the FDA receives more than two million device reports of suspected device-associated injuries, malfunctions, and even deaths. It isn’t just a number—it’s more like two million times where trust is broken.

Nearly 75% of Indian workers are taking advantage of artificial intelligence to increase their productivity.
