Purpose
AdvaMed advocates for patient access to safe, effective, and innovative medtech that saves and improves lives.
At a time of rapid scientific advancement and growing health care complexity, our purpose is grounded in ensuring that patients benefit from the full potential of medtech and health tech innovation.
Access to the right technology at the right time can change the course of a person’s life. From earlier detection and diagnosis to more precise treatments and less invasive procedures, our technology plays a critical role in improving outcomes. Millions of patients’ lives are improved every day because of advancements in innovation. The resulting improved patient outcomes include reductions in mortality from heart disease, stroke, and cancer, as well as shorter hospital stays and longer life expectancy.
As the leading voice for our industry, we bring together companies across the ecosystem to advance policies that support innovation, strengthen U.S. leadership, and improve health outcomes. We work to advance the policy, regulatory, and reimbursement environment needed to bring new technologies from development to clinical practice, removing barriers and ensuring timely patient access.

Vision
Shaping a world where access to medtech improves the life of every patient, every time.
AdvaMed envisions a world where every patient has timely access to the medical technologies they need to live healthier, more productive lives. We see a health care system where innovation is supported by modern, predictable policies that keep pace with scientific advancement.
The United States plays a critical role in driving this future as the global leader in medtech. U.S.-made medical technologies supply around 70 percent of the domestic market, and the industry continues to lead in research, development, and manufacturing, supporting millions of high-quality jobs across the country.
As health care continues to evolve, particularly with the integration of artificial intelligence and digital health solutions, AdvaMed is committed to ensuring these technologies are developed, evaluated, and deployed responsibly and in ways that patients and providers can trust. That commitment is reinforced by AdvaMed’s Code of Ethics, which guides ethical interactions and relationships with health care professionals, based on the cornerstone values of innovation, education, integrity, respect, responsibility, and transparency.
We strive to strengthen U.S. leadership in medtech while supporting a more resilient health care system that delivers better outcomes at good value.
