We launched!

We started MassDevice for a simple reason: We couldn’t find any stories about medical devices we wanted to read.

We knew that, behind every life-changing innovation, there lies a compelling story. So we set out to discover the tales behind the truly astounding technology being developed here in New England every day.

Our coverage starts with our newswire, which we update multiple times daily. But it goes beyond the business and financial details, though you’ll find plenty of those here. After all, the medical devices industry is a major driver of the region’s economy, accounting for 2 percent of the state’s gross domestic product and employing roughly twice as many people as the pharmaceutical industry.

You’ll also find magazine-length features and profiles and blogs by experts and thought leaders in healthcare and medical devices.

Then there’s our MassDevice Network, a searchable directory linking nearly 1,000 medical device manufacturers and service providers in the northeastern United States.

We think you’ll like what you find here. We’re thankful for your support and hope you’ll take some time to look around and tell us what you think. What are we doing well and what can we improve? We’re counting on you to let us know.

And we’d be grateful if you’d sign up for our newsletters and join our Facebook group. Both are key elements of our strategy to grow traffic and your help at this critical stage is invaluable.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your help and support over the last 18 months. It’s a cliche to say we couldn’t have done it without you, but in our case it’s really true.
