Why to write (and possibly read) a book entitled Medical Devices: Improving Health Care Through a Multidisciplinary Approach? It is almost a platitude to say that medical devices—with different levels of complexity—are pervasive in today’s medical treatments. The topic has been indeed treated by a series of competent authors. This book will outline that a multidisciplinary approach to be applied to the use of medical devices has undoubtable immediate benefits to the patient’s clinical outcome. In addition, this approach can improve the value created for the healthcare system to benefit patients and communities. In addition, current demographic changes, such as the ageing of the population, and the increase of chronic diseases leading to long-lasting and repeated treatments, create an additional challenge to the sustainability of the healthcare systems. The use of technology and tools in medicine has a long history. In the industrialised world, a huge number of different devices and equipment have been introduced to the medical field to support diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation. In recent years, this trend has provoked the development of new devices. When considering the current concept of personalised medicine, new ideas and models are urgently needed.
