The UK's National Health Service is looking to speed up the adoption of cutting-edge medical technologies into its system, the New York Times reports.
According to the Guardian, NICE, the UK's health care regulator, is looking to make it easier for medical technology developers to get funding from the National Health Service to bring new products to market.
NICE says it wants to speed up the adoption of "game-changing products" that can improve patient outcomes, the Times reports.
According to the Guardian, medical technology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the UK's health care system.
According to the Times, NICE estimates that medical technology could save the National Health Service up to $2 billion a year.
According to the Times, the process of bringing new technologies to market could take as long as five years.
NICE and the UK's Department of Health and Social Care are currently consulting on the plan.
