Generally

As a blogger, it's interesting to know which articles resonate with readers, what gets read and what doesn't. Perhaps you'd also be interested in what our community read the most in 2017. Therefore, today I'd like to present the hit parade of the TOP 20 most-read blog articles of 2017. We've been writing regularly since March 2015 and now have 75 articles online! I'm particularly pleased that older articles are also appearing in the top 20. I'm also pleased to see that the number of readers is growing year after year and that we have a high number of returning readers. Blogs are an important tool for us to help customers find us. This motivates my editors and me to continue writing diligently this year about interesting topics in medical technology and from our daily projects. But I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer. Here are the top 20 blog articles from medtech-ingenieur in 2017.
