Patient-centered innovations in the future
The document discusses innovations in patient-centered healthcare. It notes that paradigm shifts are occurring where the patient is becoming the center of healthcare. Personal health communities (PHCs) are disruptive innovations that can empower patients by giving them online access to their own medical records and contact with doctors. PHCs allow patients to share information and experiences through activities, files, diaries and apps. Initial studies show PHCs improve emotional support, access to care, patient autonomy and the patient-doctor relationship. The document advocates for more patient-centered innovations that empower consumers in healthcare.

An Overview of VR Technology and Smulation in Healthcare
An Overview of VR Technology and Smulation in Healthcare
Walter Greenleaf, PhD
Virtual Human Interaction Lab | Stanford University
The onrushing wave of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality technology will profoundly impact healthcare.
Working in concert with data analytics provided by wearable technology, VR and AR technology will shift the locus of clinical care from the hospital and the clinic to the home and workplace, and through improved analytics enable personalized medicine.
We know from decades of clinical research that VR/AR technology can provide breakthrough solutions that address the most difficult problems in healthcare - ranging from mood disorders such as anxiety and depression to PTSD, addictions, autism, cognitive aging, stroke recovery, and physical rehabilitation, to name just a few.
Individualized health and wellness protocols/treatment plans can be enhanced by using VR and AR to promote adherence and to encourage healthy lifestyles.
As the cost of healthcare rises, VR and AR technology can serve as an effective telemedicine platform to reduce costs of care delivery and improve clinical efficiency.

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
