Across every Healthcare Services buyer question, not only the answers that named Medtronic, the Machine Relations Index ranks [which sources AI engines cite for Healthcare Services questions](https://machinerelations.ai/index/categories/healthcare-services). ## All categories | Category | Named | Answers | Rate | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | | [Healthcare Services](https://machinerelations.ai/index/categories/healthcare-services) | 14 | 1,826 | 0.8% | | [Deep Tech & Hardware](https://machinerelations.ai/index/categories/deep-tech-hardware) | 1 | 1,573 | 0.1% | | Legal & Compliance | 1 | 486 | 0.2% | ## How this is measured Names are matched case-sensitively from each brand's own homepage title, in answers stored by the Machine Relations Index. Only derived counts are published here; no answer text is. A brand appears only once it has been named in at least 10 answers on 7 separate days. A name match counts a mention. It does not count a recommendation, and it does not measure sentiment. Categories are the Index's buyer-question categories. Window-to-window brand movement is unmeasured. The stored counts do not establish unchanged prompts, collection instruments and sampling weights across periods. Historical counts and weekly rows are descriptive, not a matched trend.
