The document discusses several disruptive technologies that have the potential to transform healthcare, including point-of-care devices that lower testing costs, smart contact lenses to monitor glucose levels, organ-on-chip technology to test drugs, 3D printed tissues and organs, and digestible sensors that monitor the body and transmit health data wirelessly. These technologies could enable cheaper, more efficient care and personalized medicine by testing treatments directly on human cells and tissues instead of animals. The document argues that healthcare industry leaders should embrace disruptive innovations to evolve healthcare delivery and enable lower costs, instead of trying to prevent disruption.

About: "Scientific Roadmap to Control Aging"
Timeline:
First book on telomerase published in 1996 (!!!).
Telomerase cloned in 1997.
First human cells rejuvenated in 1999.
Nobel Prize awarded in 2009.
Supplementation:
"Astragaloside IV" is known to temporarily activate telomerase by turning into Cycloastragenol (the activator) inside the stomach.
Aging is "Telomerase Enzyme Deficiency Syndrome":
Telomerase is active in Human germ cells but repressed by one or several proteins during the embryo-fetal-transition in pregnancy. At conception telomeres are 15.000 bases long, 10.000 bases long at birth and 5.000 bases long at death. Humans lose 50-100 bases per year because of cell division, which progressively shortens telomeres. Telomere shortening affects epigenetics (genes switched on or off) and leads to aging in humans, primates, dogs, cats, horses, pigs and deer. Aging can be reversed with telomerase gene therapy (transfection). Lobsters, flatworms, etc. already have active telomerase in their somatic cells and thus don't appear to age. Other organisms live for hundreds and even thousands of years, suggesting that there is no inherent necessity for aging at all, which makes sense if we regard all of life as an open system. Aging is an artificial limitation waiting to be overcome.
Telomerase protects against cancer, yet telomere shortening leads to cancer and can exploit telomerase. The immortal HeLa cancer cells have 15 copies of hTERT, the telomerase gene. Humans already have the immortalizing and rejuvenating gene inside of them, only repressed. Telomeres cannot be "too long", because other enzymes keep them steady.
Long telomeres protect chromosome ends from fusing together and causing cancer. Long telomeres can fold over the chromosome and switch critical genes back on, resulting in younger cells. Young cells have a harmonious gene expression, while older cells are more chaotic and dysfunctional.

Best Practices in Testing Biometric WearablesValencell, Inc
Wearables and hearables that measure biometric signals like heart rate are different from other devices, because they have to interact with the human body and every human body is different. This makes testing and validation of the devices an important part of the product development process.
Valencell operates one of the most experienced testing labs for biometric wearables and hearables, testing hundreds of devices over thousands of hours of testing every year.
Current Trends of Wearable Technology Devices in Clinical DiagnosticsAwladHussain3
Wearable devices are real-time, and noninvasive biosensors allow for the continuous monitoring of individuals and thus provide sufficient information for determining health status and even preliminary medical diagnosis.

Integrating biometric sensors into wearables can be one of the most challenging aspects of building a wearable or hearable.
Valencell’s engineering team has been involved in more than 50 different biometric wearable projects. We’ve gathered up the most common questions our engineers receive during the product design and development process, and VP of Engineering, Dr. Mike Aumer, will share our answers to those questions.
Is it self-tracking? We are only beginning to understand the power of self-tracking be it due to the quantified self movement or because of the increasing number of connected medical devices. A real opportunity is in understanding how mobile devices will play a key role in the future of our personal health. Medical Devices, sensors, big data, cloud computing are and will continue to enable continuous monitoring of people and patients.

7. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Consumer Perspectives
• Healthcare Industry leaders should work with
insurers, regulators, managed care
organizations, hospitals and health
professionals to facilitate disruption, instead
of uniting to prevent it
• Instead of working to preserve the existing
methods, healthcare industry should enable
the disruptive innovations to evolve and help
in the process of healthcare
8. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Consumer Perspectives
• Lack of Interdisciplinary Skills
• Medical-technology companies had tried to
develop non-invasive POC testing systems but
could not succeed in the past
• Failure in such endeavors is common, due to
lack of interdisciplinary skills

Transformations till date contd.
• Cost of testing blood-sugar levels is rapidly falling -
- A handheld device at home can replace the
laboratory visit and analysis.
• Home blood-sugar monitors, are early examples
of “point-of-care” (POC) technology, that obviate
expensive testing in health-care facilities.
• This trend will only continue and grow
- Forbes Article Sept 2014
16. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Point of Care Technology
Exponential growth & business opportunities in health
care may be possible due to two factors:
• (a) the emergence of newer POC technologies that
lower the costs of diagnostics and replace health-care
workers and professionals
• (b) increase in chronic disease and the opportunities
this offers for lifelong use of products for diagnosis and
treatment
Healthcare may become the world’s most lucrative
industry

Google & Novartis Partners
for “Smart lens”
• Google along with pharmaceutical giant Novartis
is working on a smart contact lens project , to
help patients manage diabetes - announced by
Google in January 2014
• The project aims to assist people with diabetes
by constantly measuring the glucose levels in
their tears. The project is currently being tested
using prototypes.

Organ on a Chip
• Researchers have started working on a technology they call
Organ-on-a-Chip.
• An Organ-on-a-Chip is a multi-channel 3-D microfluid cell-
culture chip that simulates the activities, mechanics, and
physiological response of entire organs and organ systems
• It mimics the structure and functions of a living human
organ, on a clear, flexible microchip. The chips are
subjected to the physiological conditions that take place
inside the human body, and respond to infection,
inflammation, environmental toxins, and drugs.
• Perhaps this can abolish the need for animals in drug
development and toxin testing by replacing it altogether
with procedures using human tissue
20. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Organ on a Chip
Wyss Institute at Harvard University predicts
that the results will be
• More accurate than those obtained through
testing on animals
• With the twin benefits of better success rate
in clinical trials & enabling us to stop harming
the animals in the name of science.
22. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Organs-on-Chips
• The responses of Organs-on-Chips are far more predictably pertinent to
human physiology than are non-human animals’ responses
• They have the potential to
– Eliminate poor drug formulations at the pre-clinical stage
– Shorten the drug-development process & effort: Lower Time & Cost
– Provide A Disruptive Technology that can help eliminate the demand for
animal lives by testing drugs directly on artificial human organs.
• Potential revolution exists: of creating an Organ-on-a-Chip that is uniquely
suited to an individual
• This may help customize a drug to individual’s physiology
• Organ-on-a-Chip eventually represents a potential world of new possibilities
in the field of customized medicine.

3D Printed Bio-Materials
Seven applications of 3D printers in healthcare that could have an important impact in the future:
1. Embryonic Stem Cells: These cells have already been successfully printed in a lab and could be
one-day use to create tissue that could help test drugs and assist in the growth of new organs.
2. Printing Skin: There have been many advances in the areas of developing skin to help burn
victims and skin disease patients, 3D printers can help further jumpstart these advances with
the addition of laser-printed skin cells.
3. Blood Vessels & Heart Tissue: Organovo is a company that has already successfully printed
blood vessels and sheets of cardiac tissue that actually beat along just like a real heart.
4. Replacing Cartilage & Bone: 3D printers have also helped scientists and doctors create stem
cells that could eventually develop into both bone and cartilage in the long-term.
5. Studying Cancer: Printing cancer cells is a way of growing these cells on tissue in a lab to study,
test drugs on and to eventually find a cure for.
6. Patching a Broken Heart: Printing cells with a 3D printer proves useful in a recent study of rats
that had previously suffered heart attacks and were given these patches of cells to help slowly
help improve their heart function overtime.
7. Replacement Organs: Printing new part for organs or entire organs all together will help solve
an ongoing medical need and help save hundred of thousands of people every year waiting for
an organ donation to come thru.

What is 3-D Printing
An idea can go directly from
3D-design file to finished part
or product (& possibly skip
traditional manufacturing
steps)
3D printing enables on-
demand production, which
has interesting implications
for supply chains and spare
parts : A major cost for
manufacturers
3D printing can reduce the
amount of material wasted in
manufacturing and create
objects that are difficult or
impossible to produce with
traditional techniques
Scientists have “bio-printed”
organs, using an inkjet
printing technique to layer
human stem cells along with
supporting scaffolding
25. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Digestible Sensors
A digestible sensor transmits
information about a patient to medical
professionals to help them customize
patient care as well as the care
provided to other individuals
experiencing similar health conditions
or ailments.
Provide healthcare professionals
with information about the human
body and how various treatment
solutions affect each system of
organs.
Monitors body systems and wirelessly
transmits information to devices like
smart-phone or computer for review by
doctor. Latest innovations with
digestible sensors don’t require a
battery source - they solely rely on the
human body for energy.
An innovation of this nature can
help detect diseases and
conditions at earlier stages in
people digesting these sensors
that are in turn, constantly
monitored wirelessly
26. Emerging Edges Consultants Pvt Ltd.
Cloud-based Solutions
Communication within Healthcare is an easy problem
• Yet not solved fully for many decades …
• Referrals - Treatment - Progress updates - Insurance
authorizations are all communications : But cost money &
delays to patients & liabilities to healthcare provider
• Over 50 percent of referrals do not reach specialty care
providers : Patients miss treatment and healthcare providers
lose money
• A simple Cloud based solution can connect doctors & patients
with a Robust Referral Management platform & communicate
across all entities
