Libella Gene Therapeutics to Run a Patient Paid Trial of Telomerase Gene Therapy
After Bioviva Science, Libella Gene Therapeutics is the second company to take a run at commercializing telomerase gene therapy treatments for human use. Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres, repeated DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes, though it may have other roles. Telomeres are a part of the mechanism that limits the number of times that a somatic cell can replicate. Telomeres shorten with each cell division, and when too short they trigger programmed cell death or cellular senescence followed by destruction by the immune system. Ordinary somatic cells in humans do not express telomerase...

Improving Medical AI Safety by Addressing Hidden Stratification
Jared Dunnmon
Luke Oakden-Rayner
By LUKE OAKDEN-RAYNER MD, JARED DUNNMON, PhD
Medical AI testing is unsafe, and that isn’t likely to change anytime soon.
No regulator is seriously considering implementing “pharmaceutical style” clinical trials for AI prior to marketing approval, and evidence strongly suggests that pre-clinical testing of medical AI systems is not enough to ensure that they are safe to use. As discussed in a previous post, factors ranging from the laboratory effect to automation bias can contribute to substantial disconnects between pre-clinical performance of AI systems and dow...

Gene testing to guide antidepressant treatment: Has its time arrived?
Depressive disorders are among the most common conditions that disrupt lives. Fortunately, medications, psychotherapies, and lifestyle changes are usually successful in treating depression and related disorders, even if symptoms are not entirely eliminated. Sometimes people don’t gain sufficient relief from treatment, or must try several medications before finding one that works well. In an age of exciting advances, including brain imaging and genetic testing, many doctors and patients reasonably hope that new technologies will offer answers. And in fact, for antidepressant choice, several companies sell genetic testing ...

From Theranos To Google Glass: The Biggest Flops In Digital Health
The tech start-up scene, investors, and news-reading
audiences reward great stories on the edge of human capabilities – sometimes
even on the boundary of science and science fiction – with their attention,
money, or invested energy. However, sometimes marketing machines are better
than actual technologies, and the ‘little bubbles’ around companies burst.
Here, we collected the most promising digital health ideas and companies over
the years that proved to be the greatest flops in medical innovation so far.

23andMe Moving into Clinical Trial Recruitment, a Potential Source of New Income
I have been blogging about23andMe for about six years (see:Update on 23andMe; Time for a Review of FDA Definition of Medical Devices). During that time, I have seen the company evolve from the first major consumer genomics enterprise to a clinical laboratory authorized by the FDA to perform testing for ten diseases or conditions. These are the first direct-to-consumer (DTC) tests authorized by the FDA that provide information about an individual ’s genetic predisposition to certain medical diseases or conditions (see:FDA allows marketing of first direct-to-consumer tests that provide genetic risk information for ce...

Announcing GuideWell ’s Caring for Caregivers Challenge
SPONSORED POST
By CATALYST @ HEALTH 2.0
Caregivers who care for aging, ill and
disabled adult family members face a broad array of challenges within their
daily lives. These challenges include stress, burnout, financial burdens,
career sacrifices, sleep deprivation, depression, isolation, and lack of
privacy. GuideWell believes it
“takes a village” to sustainably support family caregivers, and that single
point solutions are typically not broad enough to provide comprehensive relief
to family caregivers.

The Stress of Choosing the “Right” Food
Does trying to choose the "right" food stress you out?
In our information-saturated landscape, choosing what to eat has become more and more complicated. Food stress is the pressure of making the right choice often makes us self-limit choices. We avoid buying this food because a television doctor said it is terrible for us. We choose to eat only certain foods because a celebrity lost weight doing that. Or we stand in the grocery aisle wondering if we’ll be judged by our family, friends, or community because we don’t buy something with the “right” label.Eating well shoul...

Do Virtual Simulations Prepare For Medical Realities?
How do you study organs and complex living structures
in two dimensions? It’s like trying to piece together life on the planet in the
age of the dinosaurs from fossils – almost impossible. So why do medical
schools require students to learn the tricks of the trade from densely written
books and PowerPoint presentations? Luckily, the advancement of technology
brought in another dimension: virtual reality. So, we looked around to what
extent VR as a three-dimensional teaching tool can support medical education. Let’s
dive into virtual laparoscopy, simulated empathy, and co.
