Three layers, one foundation
Each band of the tower is a value layer. The rock it stands on is the shared AI & data foundation.
The Lighthouse Framework
Capabilities lighting the way to enterprise value
Every capability maps to one of three value layers, all built on a shared AI & data foundation.
Embedding AI in Products
Innovating with AI- and data-enabled customer and patient offerings.
Robotic Product Configuration
Tracks the software, hardware and firmware running on robotic surgical products in the field — across Ottava, Auris, VELYS and more.
Staple AI
Computer vision that inspects, measures and classifies surgical staples from product imaging — automatically.
PowerZOI
Computer vision image measurement for DePuy Synthes labs, with a built-in scientist-to-approver sign-off.
Nebula
Automated robotics testing with GxP-compliant data management end to end.
Accelerating the Value Chain
Reimagining key processes and workflows across R&D, supply chain and commercial.
MDR
MDR is the validated data backbone for EU MDR — turning scattered device data into compliant submissions and feeds.
AutoDoc
Agentic document generation — proven for CERs, DoCs and Technical Documentation, expanding across MedTech
Trovare
Agentic cognitive search over Windchill PLM — find and make sense of R&D evidence
Skybound
AI-powered UDI and EUDAMED data extraction and verification, with label and IFU automation.
HPC - Virtual Engineering
Self-service cloud supercomputing that runs ANSYS engineering simulations at scale, so MedTech R and D proves designs faster.
Windchill Insights
Engineering data, freed from Windchill PLM and served as governed, queryable data services across MedTech.
Continuum
Continuum is the PPWR platform for every Business Unit — it collects the packaging and material data the regulation demands, including from external suppliers, and generates the Declaration of Conformity and Technical Documentation for every Sales Unit and Transport Unit.
Test Protocol
Author, configure, and manage functional test protocols for medical device verification and validation.
Driving Operational Efficiency
Improving core processes, operations and employee productivity.
Entity Sphere
Agentic data extraction and validation that turns unstructured documents into structured, validated, reusable data across MedTech R and D.
PPM
One governed, query-ready layer for MedTech's product portfolio data — no copying, no chasing, one source of truth.
Lab Insights
One live, governed view across your R&D lab systems — so quality and lab teams stop hunting and start seeing.
SHINE Automation
Automating post-clinical-trial workflows and reconciliation across ELN, Teamcenter, and LIMS.
AI & Data Foundations
The shared AI & data foundation every capability on the platform is built on.
Built for teams across MedTech
See what already exists
Browse a catalog of production applications and the data they serve — proven, governed work you can build on instead of starting from scratch.
Access what exists, with governance built in
Request data and application access through self-service subscription workflows, with approvals, lineage, and audit trails built in.
Build on a trusted, governed foundation
Consume curated views and APIs through Tableau, Power BI, REST, or natural-language assistants on the platform, with source systems remaining the source of truth.
Vision & capabilities
A modern data & AI strategy for MedTech R&D
The mission, the principles it's built on — FAIR data, data as a product, federated governance — and how the platform's unified marketplace connects you to data across the product lifecycle.

Getting started
Step-by-step guides for discovering data, requesting access, and building on the platform's tools.
7-step guide
Subscribe to data using MedTech Connect
Find a dataset in the MedTech Data Catalog and request governed access to it — across technology boundaries, without tickets.
5-step guide
Access SageMaker Studio
Reach SageMaker Studio from the MedTech Connect MLOps platform — on the platform account or your own VPCx account.
5-step guide
Access subscribed data in SageMaker
Query the datasets you've subscribed to from inside SageMaker Studio. Approved subscriptions are provisioned to your project's Data Lake automatically, ready to query through Amazon Athena.
