Among the projects Karten has worked on is the Zon hearing aid from Starkey Laboratories, which won the 2008 People’s Design Award from the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. Additionally, Karten’s design firm received the 2008 North American Services Medical Devices Healthcare Innovation Award. In this exclusive interview, Karten shares his thoughts on his history designing devices, the highlights of his career, and where he thinks medical devices are headed.   Medgadget: How did Karten Design get involved doing medical projects?

The most notable among his innovations include the automated DNA sequencer and synthesizer as well as the automated protein sequencer and synthesizer. For his work on these four instruments – cornerstones of modern molecular biology – Dr. Hood was awarded the American and Japanese equivalents of the Nobel Prize: the Lasker Award and Kyoto Prize. Throughout his career he has successfully translated his basic science research from bench-to-bedside by co-founding more than 14 companies, including Amgen and Applied Biosystems. Dr. Hood and his team are still actively pioneering medical advances. He currently presides over the Institute for Systems Biology, which ...

Also, according to the authors of the document, the procedures should only be performed at specialty centers with multidisciplinary teams of cardiologists and surgeons. To clarify for our readers the implications of the position statement, we asked cardiologist Robert Kipperman, M.D., the principal investigator for the Everest II MitraClip Trial and the CoreValve trial at the Advanced Therapy Unit at Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute at Morristown Medical Center in New Jersey, to answer the following questions: Medgadget: Wh...

Shiv Gaglani, Medgadget: Congratulations on your successful and healthy first round of funding. When do you expect to receive FDA and/or CE approval for the iPhone ECG? Dave Albert: We will be CE Marked when we start production in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2011, as our manufacturing partner is CE self-certifying and we are in the testing process and quality system validation process.

For some further information, we got in touch with Samuel K. Sia, associate professor at the department of biomedical engineering at Columbia University, who was one of the leading researchers in this study. His lab focuses on using microfluidics for global health diagnostics and for 3D tissue biology and he is one of the founders of Claros Diagnostics, the company responsible for commercializing the mChip diagnostic platform. 1.

To follow up on this report, we have asked the company’s President and CEO Spencer Williamson to answer our questions… 1) We understand that the idea for this device came from the personal experiences of your founder(s). Could you tell that story? Our founders, twins Eric and Evan Edwards, were diagnosed, as young children, with life-threatening allergies to a wide range of items, including peanuts, tree nuts, seafood and eggs. Eric and Evan were supposed to have a dose of potentially life-saving epinephrine close at all times. Over time, however, they became increasingly frustrated that the epineph...

In a nutshell, the IBM study predicts that the next generation of healthcare devices “will increasingly come to the aid of the world’s one billion adults who are overweight, the 20 percent of smokers globally who are trying to quit, those who are suffering from hypertension and 14 percent of the elderly worldwide who live alone.” The study forecasts that this consumer segment is ready for connected health devices and that users are willing to pay up to $100 for them, a critical price point in almost 75% of people surveyed.

And welcome to Medgadget, where our team of researchers, doctors and engineers cover the world of medical devices and health-related technology news. For Grand Rounds this week, we suggested bloggers send us technology-related material, and they rose to the challenge; we received some amazing links. Of course, there was great non-techie material too. It’s all below, loosely categorized, with photos and quotes lifted from posts of note.   Healthcare Technology The Happy Hospitalist observes the use of new technology on rounds: an expensive pupillometer that takes a previously simple physical exam item — pupillary response to light– into a higher plane of precision and accuracy.

It’s been a dense five days with talks ranging from stem cells to bioinformatics. The folks at Singularity University worked hard to put together a spectacular event for us all, bringing in speakers at the edge of their fields all while keeping the setting light and informal. The morning started with Erik Rasmussen, CEO of inSTEDD giving a look into how technology has the potential to address the confluence of global health challenges related to infections, natural disasters, climate change, and more. These compound crises are building a fragile ecosystem, are all interrelated, and are likely to get worse much...

The day started with FutureMed chair Daniel Kraft giving us a summary of the happenings in regenerative medicine and how the field has traveled on Gartner’s hype curve, and is now beginning to produce some large advances. Yesterday we covered two examples of how the field is maturing through the work of luminaries Robert Hariri and Mike West, who are both taking different but complementary approaches to stem cell therapies. Daniel, a pioneering stem cell researche...

It’s long, intense, feels a bit like a medical bootcamp, but we’re getting the sense that participants are digesting an incredible amount of information, making friends, and getting both a deep and broad picture of how the landscape of medicine is changing immensely. Kudos to Daniel Kraft and the FutureMed team for making the event happen – we’re all thrilled and honored to participate. The program kicked off today with Todd Brinton from Stanford’s biodesign program. If you haven’t heard of Stanford Biodesign, they’re one of the leading centers in the world for the design and creation of medical technologies. Led by Paul Yock and Tom Krumel, they we...

On the whole it was a wonderfully inspiring day full of mind-blowing medical advances. Ben Rosner, the medical director of Archimedes, Inc. introduced the personal medicine track with an overview of the need to personalize medical guidelines to the particular patient and the role that inputs from the “omics” (genomics, proteomics, etc) will play in medicine’s transformation from bucket recommendations to mathematically validated personalized recommendations.

During conferences like this it’s difficult to pick and choose what we write about. So, in a similar process to how we cover TEDMED, we’ll be posting candid, informal end-of-day recaps of FutureMed to give you a high level look at the goings-on and then we’ll follow suite with individual posts on the technologies and advances we found to be most fascinating.

When Piper Kerman was 34, she was sent to federal prison for a ten-year-old drug smuggling and money laundering offense. She spent 13 months in a minimum-security correctional facility for women in Danbury, CT, which isn’t necessarily what you’d expect from a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Smith graduate and Red Sox fan from a nice, New England family. Piper’s excellent memoir about her prison experience, Orange Is the New Black, was just published by Random House – with back cover blurbs by Dave Eggers and Elizabeth Gilbert (not too shabby for a first-time writer).

According to their own internal emails (PDF), the head of Mental Health for the VA, Dr. Ira Katz, stated they were facing nearly 1,000 veterans’ suicide attempts every month.
