From human trials getting ready to start on CRISPR gene editing technology to tiny, bioabsorbable brain sensors, medical device industry experts provided Qmed a lot of fodder when it came to the 10 most promising medical technologies of 2016.

(Check out the full slideshow!)

So here's the next question: Was there anything that we missed?

The Wall Street Journal recently listed some of its own examples. They include engineered blood vessels from Humacyte (Morrisville, NC); a "smart" nicotine delivery device for smoking cessation that connects to a smartphone, courtesy of Chrono Therapeutics (Hayward, CA); and SetPoint Medical's neuromodulation device to treat Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases.

Also mentioned was the pioneering work at Ohio State University and the nonprofit research organization Battelle to allow the paralyzed to once again move limbs through computer chip implanted in the brain.  

We'd like to hear from you about the new technologies that you think hold the most promise. Perhaps we'll get enough answers for another roundup of promising medtech.

We'd love for you to answer the survey below:
