AI Adoption in Healthcare Requires Better Approaches to Patient Data
The following is a guest article by Vanessa Braunstein, Healthcare Product Marketing Lead at NVIDIA.
Building great AI models in healthcare and life sciences requires lots of data that is diverse, well-labeled, and spans across different patient types.
However, as AI gains traction, there are still a number of bottlenecks that slow down the process of developing robust AI models such as patient privacy, access to data, and lack of clinical expertise to annotate data for training.
In order to overcome these barriers, data scientists and developers have developed new solutions such as federated learning paradigms, AI models ...

How IoT Medical Devices Save and Improve Lives
The following is a guest article by Erik Kling, Interim Head of IoT Americas at Vodafone Business.
IoT, or the Internet of Things, has transformed our homes with connected lights and smart appliances. It’s also revolutionized all areas of business, including manufacturing. Sensors connected to the internet can track goods throughout the supply chain — from sourcing materials to delivering completed products to consumers.
IoT technology has improved the way we live, but its most profound impact may be in healthcare, where it’s saving lives and improving health.
Before IoT revolutionized healthcare, doctors and care pr...

“As a researcher, you get to learn something new every day, and that knowledge feeds more questions. It’s this eternal learning process, and I find that really enticing about being in science,” says Eszter Boros, Ph.D., an assistant professor of chemistry at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York. Our interview with Dr. Boros highlights her journey of becoming a scientist and her research on biomedical applications of metals.
Q: What drew you to science?
A: I was born and raised in Switzerland, and I went to a linguistics-focused high school the...

Mirage of Health
My personal update is that I ' m recovering day by day, but it ' s taking a while. I get a little stronger, a little more stamina each day and I expect to get back to my previous full strength in time to put in a solid week of work starting Monday. Meanwhile a little down time isn ' t the worse thing that could have happened.I ' ve gotten some very odd comments which show that some people harbor very basic misunderstandings about heath, illness and medicine. As I have noted here many times, medical intervention was largely ineffective until the 20th Century. It has grown more effective over the past 100+ years, but you nee...

Caregivers: It's Time to Stop Second-Guessing Ourselves
Photo credit John-Mark Smith
Like most adults, I’ve second-guessed many of my own decisions. While most were made with my own future in mind, that all changed when I became a family caregiver for an ever-increasing number of older adults – a time that also coincided with raising two young children, one with health challenges.
A dying aunt, a budding son: My aunt Marion, who had no children of her own, was in the hospital dying of cancer. While my parents visited her much of the time, I’d been close to her since I first learned to walk, so I tried to see her as much as possible.
One afternoon, it had become evident th...

How patient education can save lives
A patient undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer was diagnosed on April 20th with profound secondary adrenal insufficiency (hypophysitis: ACTH undetectable, cortisol 0.2) caused by immunotherapy (pembrolizumab). She was started on corticosteroids and sent home from the hospital on April 24th with a prescription for only five days of prednisone. After completing the five days ofRead more …How patient education can save lives originally appeared inKevinMD.com.

The Reckoning: What Happens to Digital Health After COVID?
By JEFF GOLDSMITH and ERIC LARSEN
It has been a rough year so far for digital health. After an astonishing $45 billion poured into new digital health companies in 2020 and 2021, and an early 2021 peak in market valuations of publicly-traded digital health providers, valuations and multiples have collapsed. Once high-flying Teladoc, which traded at an eye-watering 42x revenues and commanded a $45 billion market capitalization, is now trading around 2.7X at about $5.7 billion. AmWell, the next largest telehealth player, has seen its stock drop more 90% from its high.
Nor is the evaporation in market value is co...

For Older Adults a Fall Can Increase Their Chance of Serious Decline and Death
Photo credit Daniel von Appen
Dear Carol: My 86-year-old dad fell and broke his arm. After two nights in the hospital, he was sent to rehab, but the confusion that he’s experienced since his hospitalization hasn’t resolved. The family all work full time so after rehab, in order to keep Dad safe, we’ll need to move him to a facility. There’s a well-respected care home nearby so, considering the situation, I’m not worried about his long-term care. What does concern me is a friend mentioned that a fall was what signaled the end of her dad’s life. I understand that falls are hard on older bodies, but I didn't know ...

The Top 10 Super-Creepy Medical Technologies
We are all for new technologies here, spending our days researching where the science of medicine goes. With that said, every now and then we see something so creepy that it freaks out even the seasoned team of The Medical Futurist.
So here we collected ten examples of either super creepy medical technologies or ingeniously evil uses of perfectly innocent technologies.
The blood drawing robots
First, this doesn’t really sound creepy. Drawing blood might not be our favourite thing, but nothing of a terror for most of us either. Vein scanners are around for a while, actually being a useful little tool ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, May 2nd 2022
In this study, we tested the therapeutic potential of VHHASC and a newly generated VHH against murine ASC (VHHmASC) to target ASC specks in vitro and in vivo. We show that pre-incubation of extracellular ASC specks with VHHASC abrogated their inflammatory functions in vitro. Recombinant VHHASC rapidly disassembled pre-formed ASC specks and thus inhibited their ability to seed the nucleation of soluble ASC. Notably, VHHASC required prior cytosolic access to prevent inflammasome activation within cells, but it was effective against extracellular ASC specks released following caspase-1-dependent loss of membrane integrity, an...

A man in his 40s who really needs you to understand his ECG
Written by Pendell MeyersA man in his 40s presented for " left sided chest pain sudden onset yesterday when sneezing and coughing that is worsened with inspiration. " He also complained of associated SOB, dizziness, jaw pain, and back pain, which he described as " muscle spasms. " He has also had rhinorrhea and cough for 1 week. Also, left hand numbness today. He went to urgent care for evaluation. An ECG was performed there (unavailable) which reportedly was abnormal, so EMS was called to urgent care to take him to the ED.On EMS arrival, they noted the patient vomited then became unresponsive. He was reportedly...

Looking Back At Today ’s Healthcare In 2060
I receive many questions after my talks and on my online channels about the not yet visible future. People want to know what healthcare will be like in the next decades. But throwing around predictions will not help us design a better healthcare. Although showing a utopian future of healthcare might do so.
On a chilly October afternoon in 2060,
after having watched the leaves falling off the trees in our garden for too long to get bored, my beautiful and overtly curious grandchild, Nina, came to me and started asking me questions.
She pointed at one of the many CubeSensors in the living room – small,...

A man in his 60s with chest pain. Cardiologist refuses to take to the lab. Obvious STEMI, even with criteria. Yet final diagnosis " NSTEMI " . This happens far too often.
Submitted by Anonymous MD, edits by MeyersA man in his 60s with past medical history of multiple sclerosis and hypertension was brought in by EMS from home for chest pain thatstarted acutely just prior to arrival. He rated the pain at 9/10, describes as pressure, radiates towards the left arm with associated shortness of breath, diaphoresis and had one episode of emesis. He did not have a prior history of CAD or other cardiac disease. His pain improved to 6/10 after EMS gave him 3 sprays of sublingual nitroglycerin and 324 mg of aspirin.
