This document outlines a modified diabetes care model called the Portsmouth Model or "Super Six." It describes the different patient populations and types of care provided at the hospital, primary care, and diabetes support team levels. The hospital team focuses on acute, pregnancy/pre-pregnancy, active foot disease, advancing CKD/RRT, type 1 diabetes including insulin pumps, and complex type 2 diabetes patients. Primary care manages those at risk of diabetes, with controlled type 2 diabetes, and uncontrolled type 2 diabetes with guidelines. The diabetes support team cares for uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients and type 1 patients who do not attend appointments are invited to an online community. Patient numbers are provided for each group.

Gerald Tomkin , Director of the Diabetes Institute Beacon Hospital

This document summarizes a presentation on diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cholesterol. It discusses how diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. It notes that achieving lipid targets substantially reduces cardiovascular risk, but that target achievement is still uncommon. New therapies that inhibit microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, apolipoprotein C3, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, and other targets may help lower lipids and reduce risk, but require further study of long-term safety and efficacy. The need to more intensively reduce risk factors to further lower cardiovascular event rates is emphasized.

Serious problems require serious solutions. Alcohol misuse costs €57 billion annually and only 1 in 9 people who misuse alcohol receive treatment. A smartphone and web-based platform is proposed as an innovative, user-friendly, evidence-based, and cheaper way to provide personalized treatment at scale. The platform utilizes computerized cognitive behavioral therapy and text messaging, which studies have shown can be effective in treating alcohol misuse. It seeks to revolutionize the UK addiction treatment market and plans clinical trials in Ireland and the UK in 2016 before rolling out more broadly in Europe and the US.

Robert Kelly, Videodoc

Dr. Robert Kelly discusses pressures facing the Irish health system including resources, costs, quality, and efficiency. Barriers include doctors' limited time and resources, and patients' issues with access, time, mobility and costs. Telemedicine can help overcome these barriers by giving patients more convenient lower-cost access supported by information to high-quality care. VideoDoc is an Irish telemedicine platform provider that operates a virtual clinic model and enables doctors to integrate the platform into their practices to develop telemedicine solutions for patients. The platform aims to improve healthcare experiences and outcomes at affordable costs through more engaged patients.

This document discusses the regulation of standalone software as a medical device. It begins by defining standalone software and noting the EU directive that amended the definition of a medical device to include software intended for medical purposes. It then covers how to qualify standalone software as a medical device and classify it. The document reviews essential requirements, harmonized standards, conformity assessment procedures including CE marking, and registration requirements. It provides advice for manufacturers on ensuring compliance and for users on reporting issues. The role of the Irish regulator HPRA in providing guidance and conducting oversight is also discussed.

Anastasia Dedyukhina , Consciously Digital

This document summarizes the effects of digital distraction on human behavior and brain function. It notes that people now spend 2-3 times as much time online as a decade ago and most check social media daily and switch between devices over 20 times an hour. This constant connectivity is changing how our brain functions, shortening attention spans and affecting memory. The ability to stay focused without distraction has become a rare "superpower." However, the document also sees opportunities to make sense of data and provide tips to use technology in a supportive rather than substitutive way.

Sasha Oliver, Avloni

1) The document discusses using neuroimaging and machine learning to detect dementia earlier by predicting which patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) will progress to dementia within a year. 2) The researchers have developed a model that can predict MCI to dementia progression with 75% accuracy by analyzing brain MRIs. 3) They are working to improve their model's accuracy and to predict the biological brain age and time to dementia for patients.

Dr. Lawrence Ampofo , Semantica Research

Dr. Lawrence Ampofo discusses the benefits of focused work in the digital age. Knowledge workers spend one day per week dealing with digital distractions, and people who feel more stress have higher awareness of stressful events in others' lives from technology. When shifting attention between tasks, it takes 20-30 minutes to overcome distraction. Dr. Ampofo advocates for focus training techniques like mindful technologies, deep work, and email batching to decrease distractions and increase productivity, ability to complete complex tasks, and creativity.
