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.

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)

language, emotions, social behavior and ability to accurately perceive reality.
• It is a chronic mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves.
• It is a severe and chronic mental disorder characterized by disturbances in
thoughts, perception as well as behavior (DSM5).
• Schizophrenia was termed in 1908 by the Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler. The
word was derived from the Greek Schizo (split) and phren (mind).
6. SUBTYPES OF THE SCHIZOPHRENIA
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA (F20.0 IN ICD10)
It is characterized by the presence of delusions of persecutions or grander and
auditory hallucinations related to a single theme.
It is mostly common and usually develops later in life.
The person may have threatening thoughts or hear threatening voices.
The person is tense, suspicious, argumentative, hostile and aggressive.
7. SUBTYPES CONT…
DISORGANIZED SCHIZOPHRENIA (F20.1)
This was previously called hebephrenic schizophrenia. On set is usually before age
of 25 years and it is chronic.
This type rarely occurs.
It leads to inappropriate reaction to a situation.
Hallucinations and delusions may be present but may not be prominent.
In a summary note, one tend to have disorganized speech (meaningless speech),
disorganized behavior (silly), poor attention and inappropriate affect.
NB: Before categorize schizophrenia into any of these subtypes, the general
diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia must be met.
9. SUBTYPES CONT….
CATATONIC SCHIZOPHRENIA (F20.2)
This is characterized by the marked abnormalities in motor behavior and may be
manifested in form of a stupor or excitement.
There is waxy flexibility, reduced movement, rigid posture (like a statue) some
times too much movement.
In brief, there is decrease in motor activity and response.
11. SUBTYPES CONT…
UNDIFFERENTIATED SCHIZOPHRENIA (F20.3)
Clients in this type do not meet the criteria for any of the subtypes above or they
may meet the criteria for more than one subtype.
The behavior is clearly psychotic that is, there is evidence of delusions,
hallucinations, incoherence as well as bizarre (unusual) behavior. However, the
symptoms cannot be easily classified into any of the previously listed diagnostic
categories.
RESIDUAL SCHIZOPHRENIA
The person with this subtype of schizophrenia has experienced prominent psychotic
symptoms with a previous diagnosis of schizophrenia but no longer has them.
There is lingering evidence of unusual behavior, a blunted affect, some unrealistic
thinking or social withdrawal.
12. CONT…
• There is continuing evidence of the illness although there are no prominent
psychotic symptoms.
• The residual symptoms may include the following: social isolation, acentric
behavior, impairment in personal hygiene and grooming, blunted or inappropriate
affect, poverty of speech, illogical thinking or apathy.
13. THE ETIOLOGIES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA
The main cause of the schizophrenia is not known. However the research
shows that a combination of genetics, brain chemistry and environment play a
major role in the development of this form of psychosis.
PSYCHOLOGICAL INFLUENCES
There are a lot of psychological factors that exacerbate the occurrence of
schizophrenia such as divorce as well as poor parental relationship.
14. ETIOLOGIES CONT…
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
I. Social cultural factors
The epidemiological statistics have shown that greater number of the individual
from the lower socioeconomic classes experience symptoms associated with
schizophrenia as poverty such as congested housing, inadequate nutrition, few
resources to deal with stress may bring forward hopeless for changing one’s
lifestyle of poverty.
II. Stressful life events
The life full of stress and depression has precipitated the occurrence of
schizophrenia and rate of relapse.
15. CONCLUSION
It is very crucial for psychiatric nurses to understand signs and symptoms of
schizophrenia for proper interventions.
