CarePredict, a Florida-based health tech startup, aims to improve seniors’ quality of life with machine learning-driven, actionable wearables insights for care staff and management to provide peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones. By identifying changes in the daily activities and behavior patterns of seniors, predictions can be made about declines in their health, thereby enabling early intervention and adopting a proactive and preventive approach to senior care.
In this webinar, CarePredict shares about their journey from initial concept through prototyping, use case development, business development, and addressing the crisis of a widening gap in the senior to caregiver ratio.
Wearables in Clinical Trials: Opportunities and ChallengesValencell, Inc
Wearables are showing the potential to significantly impact the data available for clinical trials and medical researchers in numerous ways. While the quality and efficacy of these devices varies widely, the sensor technologies in these devices has evolved to meet the needs of many clinical research endeavors. Wearables also enable longitudinal biometric data sets that can provide unique insights into the long-term, real-world impact of pharmacotherapies and treatment protocols. There are also many challenges in using wearables in trials, including access to the raw data from wearables, validation of the data from wearable devices, processing and analysis of massive amounts of wearable data, and data security.
This webinar is an interactive discussion on the state of wearables in clinical trials and medical research, where the opportunities are and the challenges to be overcome.

Presentation by John Reites on 08May2015 at the NCHICA Thought Leader Forum on Patient Generated Data in RTP, NC.
The future of health care delivery is connected, continuous, empowered, and personal. Digital capabilities are a foundational element to enable a successful shift to Connected Care and now many organizations are working through how to design, operationalize and sustain a digital care program that provides new and quality access to care to improve outcomes. In addition, organizations must determine how to ingest, analyze, and produce meaningful insight with new forms of data, specifically patient-generated data.
This panel will look at changes in access to care, recent trends in the market place, integration of patient-generated data into healthcare workflows, and the infrastructure (e.g., data lakes) needed to support these powerful new capabilities.
State of Wearables Today - 2018 Consumer SurveyValencell, Inc
A new national survey released today on wearables revealed that actionable, accurate health insights from wearables will be increasingly important to the success of the industry and 63% of respondents have owned a wearable device at some point, up from 42% in 2016. The online survey polled 826 consumers from a wide range of U.S. regions, ages, and income levels on their experiences and preferences around wearables. The 2018 survey is a follow-up from the same survey conducted by Valencell in 2016.

In Dr. Khan’s panel discussion, she discusses how population health management enables healthcare organizations to meet their operational, financial and clinical goals, by leveraging advanced analytics to identify critical gaps in care and streamline administrative costs. At the population-level, real-time analytics can assist hospitals, providers and ACOs to more effectively manage chronic conditions, reduce hospital admissions and readmissions, and ultimately may improve patient outcomes. She also discusses that by incorporating both real-time clinical information and claims data, providers can obtain a comprehensive view of their entire population data landscape, and thus are able to identify those with the greatest noncompliance risk and the most actionable clinical opportunities for improvement.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
