AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed's Digital Health Tech board approved voluntary Data Access Principles & Best Practices, announced October 28, setting four principles for how medtech companies and U.S. health systems share data.

  • 01The framework covers data vendors need to implement, monitor and improve technology, with expectations for transparency, stewardship and de-identification.
  • 02Watch for the first RFPs, security questionnaires or data use agreements that cite the principles by name; a voluntary document gains weight only when buyers adopt it.

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

According to Bluesight, nearly 500 hospitals track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems. Checks of dispensing cabinets have been missing that RFID-tracked supply. Gilman argues that bringing RFID data in next to cabinet data gives more complete usage rates and days-on-hand calculations, though the gain could depend on whether systems connect at the transaction level.

  • 01During a shortage, a count that stops at the dispensing cabinet can misstate both stock on hand and usage rate, creating a false sense of urgency and wasteful emergency purchases.
  • 02RFID is no longer limited to kit and tray management: nearly 500 hospitals already track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems.
  • 03For operators weighing a merged feed, the key question could be whether RFID usage flows into the days-on-hand calculation at the transaction level or sits beside cabinet data as a static count.

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3, up 36%

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3, up 36%

New York City digital health startups raised $1.9 billion in Q3 2026, up 36% year over year. Nationally, Rock Health counted $3.7 billion raised by U.S. digital health startups across 114 deals in the quarter. Bigger checks and steady acquisitions mean buyers must assess which vendors are pulling ahead—and which may change owners mid-rollout.

  • 01New York's digital health startups grew Q3 funding 36% year over year, while U.S. digital health startups raised $3.7 billion across 114 deals in Q3, according to Rock Health.
  • 02Average U.S. digital health deal size has climbed from $20.6 million in 2024 to $31.0 million so far in 2026, so more of the money is going into bigger rounds.
  • 03Most ownership changes are happening through M&A, with 164 deals through Q3 2026 and no new public listings since August 2025. That makes vendor change-of-ownership a live contract concern for buyers.

Robin Goldsmith

Practice Leader, Healthcare, Insurance and Life Sciences

Verizon Business

At 18, Robin Goldsmith spent three weeks alone in a hospital. He describes the nurses as his lifeline, an experience he connects to his concern for the safety of healthcare workers. That personal history gives his conversations about staffing and workplace violence a reason beyond the technology itself. As Practice Leader for Healthcare, Insurance and Life Sciences at Verizon Business, Robin works on the connectivity behind virtual nursing, medical imaging, connected devices and care at home. His interviews bring clinicians and technology specialists together around what must work for patients and the people caring for them. His communication experience also includes voiceover work for Sony Music and Showtime. On Healthcare on Air, that background sits alongside conversations about network resilience, nurse-led design and digital access.
