Transforming care

$1+ billion invested in R&D and launched 90 new products to advance patient care

Our teams are always reaching for breakthrough solutions that will make a meaningful difference for patients and their health care providers. Our products help physicians diagnose and treat complex cardiovascular, vascular, digestive, oncological, neurological, urological and pelvic health diseases and conditions. Our innovations are the result of organic research, collaborations, tuck-in acquisitions, investments in emerging technologies and strategic partnerships. 

98%+ effectiveness in corrective and preventive action (CAPA) metrics and on-time approvals

Health care providers and their patients deserve transparency about the quality of our solutions. That is why a comprehensive quality infrastructure guides our work through the life cycle of each Boston Scientific product. 

Our global quality and safety teams diligently oversee the processes and systems for everything we do — from research, development and design to product building, supply chain operations and distribution. 

Our annual bonus plan includes a quality metric modifier, which allows the Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board to reduce annual bonus plan funding for failure to meet quality goals and to reinforce accountability across the company. 

Approximately 20,000 providers engaged with our EDUCARE platform for on-demand learning, interactive training and education

For a health care solution to make a meaningful difference, it must reach the patients who need treatment. For example, the MyLATITUDE™ app enables patients with Boston Scientific pacemakers and defibrillators to stay connected with their providers through LATITUDE™ in-home monitoring. In 2021, data from the LATITUDE system helped providers safely and remotely monitor approximately 1 million patients with implanted devices, to quickly detect and treat certain heart conditions.
