Editor's letter

Welcome to the latest issue of the Medical Technology magazine 

Healthcare is set to undergo a significant transformation with the emergence of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) – systems not only capable of generating insight, but also of acting autonomously on it.

This month's cover feature examines what agentic AI's rise will mean for the healthcare sector as its clinical integration, technical foundations and regulatory tenets across multiple medical domains take shape.

Also in this issue, we explore the looming threat of neural data misuse as technologies like Neuralink's brain-computer interface (BCI) continue to gather momentum.

Don't miss this month's interview, which outlines what the integration of a new AI system from Microsoft into the UK NHS could mean for general practitioner consultations.

All this and the latest medtech industry news, comment, and analysis from GlobalData.
