7 Best MedTech & Digital Health PR Agencies in 2026 (Compared)
A straight comparison of PR agencies for medical technology, medical device and digital health companies, from healthcare specialists to tech PR firms: who each one fits and how they work.
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.

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.
2. GCI Health: best for large health brands
GCI Health describes itself as a health impact agency, working across the healthcare spectrum to make complex science accessible and change perceptions and behaviors. It has been named a best agency in the US and Canada and a best agency to work for in 2026.
Good fit for large health and medical companies that want a global health specialist for ongoing programs.
3. Spectrum Science: best for science-led communications
Spectrum Science is a full-service communications and marketing agency for the health and life science industries. It founded and has led GHMC, which it describes as the world's largest network of independent healthcare agencies, for 25 years.
Good fit for MedTech and life science companies with complex science that needs careful, credible explanation.
4. SHIFT Communications: best for health tech PR tied to demand
SHIFT is an integrated PR and communications agency with offices in Boston, Chicago, New York and San Francisco. Its experience spans health, technology and AI, and its work includes Butterfly Network, the handheld ultrasound company.
Good fit for growth-stage health tech companies that want PR connected to marketing and pipeline.
5. Amendola Communications: best for health IT
Amendola, founded in 2003 and based in Scottsdale, Arizona, has worked almost entirely in healthcare, starting with emerging digital health technology and expanding into health IT and life sciences. It joined Supreme Group in 2024 and still operates under its own name.
Good fit for health IT and digital health companies that sell to hospitals and health systems and want healthcare trade media.
6. Crowe PR: best for healthcare technology brands that also want influencer work
Crowe PR is a San Diego integrated PR agency whose core sectors include healthcare technology, alongside consumer goods and destinations. It combines media relations with influencer and social media marketing.
Good fit for health technology brands with a consumer or patient angle.
7. Silver Buck: best for the UK and the NHS
Silver Buck is a London agency founded in 2018 by two former HIMSS Europe directors. It works with digital health start-ups, scale-ups, health IT suppliers and NHS organisations.
Good fit for MedTech and digital health companies whose main market is the UK health system.
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 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?

Frequently asked questions
What is the best PR agency for MedTech companies?
It depends on the audience. For fast, guaranteed business-media credibility with investors and partners, Jamco PR. For a large global health specialist, GCI Health or Spectrum Science. For health IT selling to hospitals, Amendola Communications. For the UK and the NHS, Silver Buck.
What's the difference between MedTech PR and digital health PR?
MedTech PR usually centres on devices, clinical evidence and regulatory milestones like FDA clearance. Digital health PR centres on software, data and adoption by patients, providers or payers. Many agencies cover both, but ask for examples in your category.
When should a MedTech company start PR?
Ideally a few weeks before a milestone that buyers and investors care about, such as an FDA clearance, a funding round or a major hospital partnership, so coverage is live when people start searching for you.
Can a MedTech company get on Business Insider or Yahoo Finance?
Yes. Business media covers medical technology when there's a clear business story: growth, funding, partnerships or a problem the company solves. Jamco PR guarantees placements on outlets like these, with the first live in as little as 24 hours.
