Managing Digital Health Regulatory Uncertainty
Uncertainty abounds when managing digital health regulatory uncertainty regarding the FDA and other international regulatory bodies. For this discussion we'll divide uncertainty into two categories, uncertainty due to a lack of knowledge about the potential regulations on the part of manufacturers and uncertainty about just what various regulatory agencies are doing - or going to do - about new and innovative products that meet the definition of a medical device. What is a Medical Device? Let's start with the first category; there is an astounding amount of misinformation and just plain wrong-headedness on the part of many...

Coarse atrial fibrillation on ECG
Coarse atrial fibrillation on ECG Atrial fibrillation is recognized on ECG by the absence of P waves and presence of fibrillary waves. Sometimes fibrillary waves may be quite fine so as to be almost unrecognizable in certain leads. In such cases, absence of P waves and a totally irregular RR interval will give the clue to the presence of underlying atrial fibrillation. It may be difficult to recognize the irregularity of RR interval when the ventricular rate is fast, especially in a short ECG strip. Looking at a long rhythm strip and close scrutiny of RR intervals to locate 50% variation between the longest and shortest R...

Not all doctors are physicians
A colleague recently sent me a link to the American College of Cathopathic Physicians a new organization whose mission “is to protect the professional autonomy and advocate for a full, broad scope of practice for DNPs as a ‘cathopathic physician’ completely equal in every way to our MD and DO counterparts.” I was, I admit, so stunned by the statement that I thought the whole thing might be an elaborate joke. It was only after spending some time exploring the site that I realized that it was for real, and a really bad idea. Let’s start with the absurd circular “reasoning” that the group uses to justify ...
