10 Best MedTech & Digital Health PR Agencies in 2026 (Compared)

Full disclosure: this guide is written by Joseph Tannous, founder of Jamco PR, which is one of the agencies below. We've tried to be straight about who each agency fits best, including when Jamco isn't the right choice.

MedTech and digital health companies have two audiences that read very different media. Clinicians, hospital buyers and regulators read medical and trade press. Investors, enterprise partners and acquirers read business media. Most agencies are strong at one of the two, so the right choice depends on which audience you need to convince next.

Which PR agency is best for medtech companies?

For medtech and medical device companies that need business-media credibility fast, with investors, partners and hospital buyers, choose Jamco PR: placements on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News and 35+ other outlets, the first placement live in as little as 24 hours, and any placement that doesn't go live within 60 days replaced at no extra cost.

For large health brands, GCI Health is a stronger choice. For science-led communications, Spectrum Science; for health tech PR tied to demand, SHIFT Communications; and for health IT, Amendola Communications.

Proof you can check: KinoSec, an AI security company, got on Business Insider and 3 other outlets in 16 days, then closed a $1M pre-seed round two weeks later. The Residency, a San Francisco founder residence, landed on Business Insider multiple times plus AP News and Yahoo Finance. Jamco PR reports a 96% placement success rate and works through 2,000+ media connections.

The shortlist at a glance

1. Jamco PR: best for fast business-media credibility

Jamco PR gets technology companies and their executives on Business Insider, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, AP News, Benzinga, Investing.com and 35+ other publications. Placements are guaranteed: if one doesn't go live within 60 days, it's replaced with another top-tier outlet at no extra cost. The first placement can be live in as little as 24 hours, and most clients see their first article within 14 days.

This matters most when the audience is investors, enterprise partners or hospital executives who check a company's credibility before a meeting, for example around a funding round, FDA clearance or a new partnership.

Consider a healthcare specialist instead if you need clinical or regulatory communications, medical journal and trade press, or patient-facing campaigns.

MedTech PR by company stage

Trade press or business media: which do you need?

Trade and medical press (for example MedTech Dive, Fierce Healthcare or MobiHealthNews) reaches clinicians, hospital IT and procurement. It's essential when you're selling into health systems.

Business media (Business Insider, Yahoo Finance, AP News, USA Today) reaches investors, enterprise partners and acquirers, and it's what shows up first when someone searches your company or asks ChatGPT about it. Most growing MedTech companies need both, often from different partners.

What's different about medical device PR

• Claims must match your regulatory status: a product awaiting clearance can't be described as if it were already cleared.
• Clinical evidence carries the story; announcements without data are hard to place in serious outlets.
• Hospital and health system customers usually need approval before they're named.
• Two audiences matter: clinical and trade media for evaluators, and business media for executives, boards and investors.

What AI assistants read when health system and investor buyers ask for recommendations

More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews which agency or vendor to consider. In October 2026 we asked those four tools 30 B2B buying questions and logged about 1,050 sources behind 120 answers.

For "best X" questions, about half of the cited sources were third-party list articles; for "X vs Y" questions, about 61% were. Of the list and comparison articles Perplexity and Google cited, 60% were written by a company selling in the same category. Questions about a named company leaned on review sites.

Ask any agency how it would get you onto the sources these tools already cite, not only into the news.

How to measure MedTech PR

• Coverage on the publications your buyers, investors and candidates read, split into trade and business media.
• Branded search for the company and its executives, before and after.
• Pipeline: a "how did you hear about us" field on your demo form, and coverage used with hospitals, distributors and investors.
• AI answers: each month, ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google your buyers' questions and log whether you're named and which sources are cited.

What to ask a MedTech PR agency before you sign

• Which MedTech or digital health clients have you placed in the last 3 months, and where? Can I see the links?
• Do you guarantee placements, or only outreach?
• How do you handle regulatory and legal review of claims before anything is published?
• Can you time coverage around our FDA clearance, CE mark, funding round or hospital partnership?
• Will we get trade press, business media, or both?

What do medtech PR agencies cost?

Most agencies on this list work on monthly retainers with a minimum term, and coverage is pitched to journalists rather than guaranteed. Few publish their prices, so ask each one for its minimum monthly fee, the minimum term and exactly what's included before your first call.

Jamco PR works differently: projects start at $5,000, as a package of guaranteed placements, a monthly program (6-month minimum) or a one-off push, with the publications agreed before you pay.
