Becton Dickinson plans to pay $4.2 billion for Edwards Lifesciences’ critical care business, which sells technology that monitors the heart conditions of critically ill patients.

Edwards had told investors in December 2023 that it planned to spin off the business in order to focus more sharply on addressing structural defects in the heart. BD, meanwhile, wants to increase its monitoring presence in hospitals. In a statement announcing the acquisition, the company touted the “advanced AI algorithms” used in Edwards’ monitors.

BD CEO Tom Polen said in a statement that the acquisition will bolster BD’s portfolio of “AI-enabled clinical decision tools” and digital health products in general.
