They would love to be with their newborn 24 hours a day, but in most cases they obviously can’t. At the Dutch UMC Ultrecht, they’ve launched a project under the name Telebaby, in which cameras were installed at the incubators and parents can watch their child live 24 hours a day — even through a mobile device. The system is password protected, of course, so only the parents can access the specific video channels. Isn’t it great? A very human but not that expensive idea — a really Dutch approach. *This blog post was originally published at ScienceRoll* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4265741 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:00:22 +0100 4265741 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3023414&cid=t_161499_150_f&fid=35777&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2Fcuc_inec6oM%2F Hello, again. Gray skies are hovering over the Pharmalot corporate campus this morning and are expected to remain here awhile. Just the same, our outlook is sunny. And why not? This is a short week. So here are a few items to help you keep your own spirits high. Have a nice day, everyone… BioCryst Blames Conspiracy For Stock Decline (TheStreet.com) Pfizer Waffles On La Jolla Incubator (San Diego Business Journal) Glaxo Blames Admin Error For Yanking Avodart sNDA (PharmaTimes) Glaxo Holds Some Swine-Flu Shots In Canada (Bloomberg News) (Source: Pharmalot) Pharmalot blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3023414 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:24:03 +0100 3023414 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1829942&cid=t_161499_118_f&fid=36984&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FHealthManagementRx%2F%7E3%2F402887668%2Fpart-iii-go-edupunk-healthcare.html Blogger's Note: Today I'm skipping around a bit during our week-long look at healthcare incubators.Before we look at when incubators in healthcare/startup health WON'T work, let's take a look at what's working from the business end of startup tech incubation. Part of the problem with incubation in startup health is that startup tech has been playing this game for at least 2 decades.As a result, they've got a cast of characters - expected players who will scoop in and pick off any smaller firms whose products and services they want to integrate.Want the ultimate exit? Look for acquisition by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc.But it wasn't until earlier this year that Microsoft and Google's health interests pushed them into releasing PHRs. In health, we couldn't look to the big boys for adoption...

Remember, an incubator is not the same thing as a collaborative, but a collaborative can act as an incubator, and vice versa.But an idea or networking collaborative does not automatically qualify as an incubator, especially if you're not talking business model, output, and exit strategy.As a result, throughout the series coverage on incubators, I'll also include some examples of healthcare collaboratives that are (or are close to) incubator status, or, for the goal of healthcare startups and new initiatives, achieving 'success.'First, a common frame of reference...Although it's dangerous to assume there's a 'typical' startup tech incubator, let's look at one fairly 'standard' successful group with features similar to many...

"The love of things ancient doth argue stayedness, but levity and want of experience maketh apt unto innovations."--Hooker.It's been awhile since I did a glass-half-full post.Reading the latest debate on 'Health 2.0' (Vijay Goel gives an analytical overview here, while Ted Eytan sums it up concisely here) and biting my lips over PHR offerings on the market (I'm not using ANY of them, and I'm prime e-patient territory) provides more than enough incentive to look at the glass and see half empty.It seems like we keep circling around the central issue - which is not, in fact, the definition of Health 2.0, or whether or not it's...

Today, for instance, Biogen Idec will formally announce that its first tenant has been signed up for a new incubator near its Cambridge headquarters, The Boston Globe writes. Genzyme is also considering creating a virtual incubator - funding, but no housing. And Vertex Pharmaceuticals is trying yet another tactic - a deal with Harvard University in which researchers can publish results freely and retain rights to any technology developed. “We felt we needed to pursue another mechanism” to support early-stage companies, Rainer Fuchs, executive director of the Biogen Idec Innovation Incubator, tells the Globe. The first tenant, by the way, is Es... Pharmalot blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1104490 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 14:22:48 +0100 1104490
