Hackers, Breaches And The Value Of Health Data: 2022 E-Book Update
As solutions like remote care are becoming the norm, 3D printing disrupts the normal supply chain and the number of life science studies on tools like artificial intelligence (A.I.) skyrocket, it’s become clear that we are not anticipating the digital health era; we are in the digital health era. This was to come sooner or later, but the pandemic accelerated the process by years. However, along with the enhanced healthcare landscape that digital health brings along, there is the pressing issue of privacy. To put it bluntly, there is no digital health without sacrificing a part of our privacy. The advanced techno...

The Future of 3D Printing Drugs In Pharmacies Is Closer Than You Think
3D printing drugs is not a fantasy anymore. Unbelievable shapes and any kind of drug can be fabricated with groundbreaking technology. The UK biotech company, FabRx believes it could even appear as a regular technique in hospitals and pharmacies for creating personalised drugs in specific doses within 5-10 years. In February 2022 the company announced they developed a technology allowing them to 3D print tablets in 7-17 seconds, a huge improvement from earlier.

mRNA Vaccines: From Tackling Pandemic To Treating Cancer
The story of the multi-decade uphill battle Katalin Karikó and her fellow researchers fought to prove messenger RNA can viably be used in medicine is widely known today. In just as little as two years, the world has learned about mRNA technology and how fast it can react when the need arises holding almost unlimited promises in future applications. As always is the case with “instant hits” in science, the ride was actually very long and bumpy, but more on that later.  What is mRNA? In very simple terms: messenger ribonucleic acids (or mRNAs in short) are the body’s natural way to transport messages from o...

Oura Ring (Gen3) Review: Does The Oura Ring Really Work?
The Oura Ring from Finland-based ŌURA was making waves over the past years, partly due to the technology behind the item, and in part due to well-placed PR moves. Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey wears one as do NBA players; but the smart ring made waves recently following reports that it could indicate when the wearer is sick before symptoms show. In some cases, it could potentially help identify asymptomatic COVID-19 infections, which can make up to 40% of cases. Quite the ability-enhancing wearable for our non-fantasy world; but would it satisfy digital health and fitness enthusiasts? That’s what we’ll find ou...

COVID-19 In 2022 – An Unexpected Reality
Last April, at the top of lockdowns and the pandemic we forecasted When And How COVID-9 Will End. Within these projections, we looked at how the pandemic can unfold – and when we could finally declare it’s over. Among the 3 scenarios we projected for 2021 last October, the most optimistic seemed the most unlikely (hence its name, the fairy-tale scenario), and everyone hoped for the second. At that time, wearing masks in 2022 did not seem likely – at all. And still, here we are, heading towards a pessimistic scenario, living a future we should not have – let’s see how that is possible and where we are at. ...

Google ’ s Masterplan for Healthcare
With 7% of Google searches – or 70,000 per minute – being health-related, it was only a matter of time before the search giant aimed to be a healthcare giant. Google hasn’t been particularly shy at expressing these ambitions either. It purchased Fitbit for $2.1 billion and had a dedicated healthcare offshoot from its A.I. branch, Deepmind. In this new article series exploring the latest moves by tech giants into healthcare, we will look at recent developments coming from Google. Previous entries looked at the moves of Google’s competitors Amazon and Apple, and provided insights into the trends that those companies ...

The Future of COVID-19 Therapies and Vaccines
Against all odds and breaking development records, we now have several approved COVID-19 vaccines rolling out worldwide. No need for DIY vaccines; these research-backed shots have repeatedly been shown to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infections and its spread. In May, following new evidence of efficacy in children, the FDA further approved administering the Pfizer / BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to children aged between 12 and 15 years. Before, only those aged 16 and up could get the vaccine but vaccinating more children will be key to achieving herd immunity and ending the pandemic. With such a promising outlook of available vaccine...

Your New Life In 2021 (Mid-Post COVID)
At the beginning of the pandemic, we wrote a lot about how the pandemic should and could be handled. In addition to providing real-world advice on what technology can do to support us (like Digital Health Apps To Use During Quarantine or The State of A.I. in the Fight Against COVID-19), we often provided forecasts (When And How Will COVID End?) and predictions about the management and the potential outcome of the epidemic (Will There Be A Second Wave). We even created an entire handbook to give away for free! After drawing attention to the privacy and data protection issues raised by the pandemic (we issued a guide for ...

Instead of trying to avoid the jab, we should get ourselves vaccinated as soon as possible. Why? I’ll tell you in six simple, self-explanatory logical steps. 1. COVID-19 will end when the coronavirus becomes endemic A virus becomes endemic when it has a constant presence within a population in a certain ar...

Our Top 8 Digital Health Solutions Addressing Long COVID
Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic is long. Since the WHO characterised the virus’ spread as a pandemic in March, cases have been climbing; countries are facing a second wave and are entering lockdown 2.0; and many aspects of our current lifestyle will continue through 2021. But this isn’t what we mean by “long COVID.” This newly-minted term refers to patients experiencing long-term sequelae of a COVID infection. It’s not an exact medical term as it is a patient-made one apparently first used by Elisa Perego in a tweet to describe her own experience. Additionally, two patients can have different #longcovid experiences...
