Top company news topped out page views this past week on the MPO website.
The magazine's annual Top 30 medical device companies report was among the most-read stories, along with the latest news from Philips and GE Healthcare. Philips enticed cybervisitors to the site with an announcement about Netherlands-based diversified holding firm Exor purchasing a 15% shareholding stake in the company (Exor can also nominate one member to Philips’ supervisory board), while GE Healthcare gained favor with readers via FDA 510(k) clearance of its Portrait Mobile wireless, wearable patient monitoring solution. Portrait Mobile allows real-time continuous monitoring with a personalized view of patient vitals.
The week's top traffic drivers, however, came from non-top 30 sources. Gaining the most page views was news of a simple low-cost clip developed by UC San Diego researchers that turns a smartphone into a point-of-care blood pressure monitor; runner-up was Electromed's new president and CEO, who brings more than 30 years of executive leadership in medtech and healthcare to the position.
