Business Model Innovation in Healthcare by Chris WasdenMatt Perez
Rapid technological advances, regulatory reform, and the new science of personalized medicine are the three primary factors driving unprecedented levels of innovation in the healthcare industry. These factors are forcing convergence among all members of the healthcare ecosystem in ways that enable all members to create greater value through extensive coordination, collaboration, and competition. Increasingly, providers, payers, products, and patients are leveraging mobile information technology to participate in M2M (mobile-to-mobile) digital healthcare delivery. Some of the key questions facing healthcare organizations, and particularly their CIOs, are: Where in the healthcare innovation ecosystem should we focus? What types of innovations create the most value for our organization? How do we enable greater levels of innovations from a strategic, process, and infrastructure perspectives? What are the barriers to developing and adopting innovation in the healthcare industry, and within healthcare organizations, and how do we overcome these barriers?

Analyzing Big Data's Weakest Link (hint: it might be you)HPCC Systems
Tim Menzies, NC State University, presents at the 2015 HPCC Systems Engineering Summit Community Day.
For Big Data applications, there is a lack of any gold standards for "good analysis" or methods to assess our certification programs. Hence, we are still in the dark about whether or not our human analysts are making the best use possible of the tools of Big Data. While much progress has been made in the systems aspects of Big Data, certain critical human-centered aspects remain an open issue. Regardless of the sophistication of the analysis tools and environment, all that architecture can still be used incorrectly by users. If this issue was confined to a small number of inexperienced users, then it could be addressed via process improvements such as better training. But is it? What do we know about our analysts? Where are the studies that mine the people doing the data miners?
This presentation offers some preliminary results on tools that combine ECL with other methods that recognize the code generated by experienced or inexperienced developers. While the results are preliminary, they do raise the possibility that we can better characterize what it means to be experienced (or inexperienced) at Big Data applications.

The technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare have greatly changed the way people view and interact with the healthcare system. They have also led to the reduction of costs and the increasing efficiency of the system. We expect that the future of healthcare will continue to be influenced by information technology.
Due to the technological advancements that have occurred in the field of healthcare, physicians are now able to spend less time with their patients. This has allowed them to provide more effective and efficient care to their patients. In the future, we can expect that the increasing number of specialists who can delegate their work to other doctors will have a significant impact on the healthcare system. The increasing efficiency of doctors is expected to have a significant impact on the shortage of specialist physicians in the future. This issue could be solved using technology. Hopefully, the use of information technology can help boost the number of specialist physicians (Patric, 2022).
Electronic health records have revolutionized the way healthcare is done. Despite the progress that has been made in terms of keeping and tracking these records, they are still not widely used yet. This means that the kind of growth that was expected from the adoption of these records has not materialized. Although the adoption of electronic health records has been made in various parts of the world, it’s still not widely used in all areas. This means that the ability to keep track of one’s medical history is still very important (Patric, 2022).
The increasing importance of information technology in healthcare has led to the prediction that the cost of healthcare will eventually come down. Various factors such as better accessibility and efficiency will help make healthcare more affordable and more effective.
It’s widely believed that keeping one's health is much cheaper and easier than treating a.
Big Data in Healthcare
Hospital and healthcare providers can use big data to expand the scope of their projects and draw comparisons over larger populations of data. Because big data involves the use of automation and artificial intelligence, data can be processed in larger volumes and higher velocity to uncover valuable insights for Management.
Big data enables management to proactively identify issues with real-time access to the data so that decisions can be base more on hard evidence and facts, rather than emphasizing on guesswork and assumptions about customers, employees, and vendors. Applying analytics to big data creates many opportunities for healthcare businesses to gain greater insight, predict future outcomes and automate non-routine tasks.
Healthcare industries have gone through massive technology driven transformations over the past decade. This is a result of the significant advancement in digitized, disruptive, open sourced and pervasive healthcare information technologies and peripherals in application, that are continuously producing huge volumes of diversified data. In a recent literature review, Agrawal and Prabakaran1 suggested that big data are an integral part of “the next generation of technological developments” that reveal new insights from vast quantities of data being produced from various sectors, including health care. (Shah J Miah, Edwin Camilleria, and H. Quan Vub).
Healthcare requires a lot of analysis and less room for error, with big data and analytics procedure can be game changer. Healthcare busines requires to analyze, store, and continuously update patient’s data and these tasks cannot efficiently be achieved without the help of big data.
According to Pastorino, the use of big data in health care can provision the design of solutions that improve patient care and can generate value and new strategies to overcome dynamic challenges in healthcare organizations. This is attributed to big data in health care providing an opportunity to detect meaningful patterns, which in turn produce actionable knowledge for precision medicine and various healthcare decision-makers. (Shah J Miah, Edwin Camilleria, and H. Quan Vu)
Harmony Alliance stated that opportunities offered by big data “will only materialize when healthcare systems move beyond the mere collection of large amounts of data. Linkage of previously separated data sets and their analysis using appropriate big data analytics offer new ways to accelerate research and to identify the right treatment for individual patients. Access to large data sets that paint a more comprehensive picture of patients allows patient-relevant outcomes to be measured more accurately.”
Big data is becoming crucial in this time of Covid-19, where data need to be collected from different corner of the globe. Data are collected in a big amount and need to be processed in real time so the decision-makers can have enough information to work on. Today’s world is interconnected, and pa ...

Med Device Vendors Have Big Opportunities in Health IT Software, Services, an...Shahid Shah
If you’re in the medical device manufacturing or hardware sales business your revenue growth (CAGR) is under pressure like never before. You’re being asked to do more with less but you’re probably going to find that hard to accomplish because of one or more of the following challenges:
* Longer product development timelines caused by more FDA and other government regulations
* Increased demand by customers to have your devices deliver user experiences that are more like “consumer” devices such as cell phones and tablets
* Lower margins as a reaction to commodity competition (your sensor hardware business will be commoditized faster and faster over time)
* More complex and longer sales cycles because devices are now being approved for sale not by facilities and clinical executives alone but increasingly by CIOs and IT teams
* Increased cost of risk management and compliance caused by connectivity requirements
Any one of these challenges is difficult to meet but these days you’re probably being asked to meet more than one simultaneously. The solutions are not simple but the good news is that medical device manufacturers have many revenue generation opportunities today that can fund the new strategic imperatives you’ll need to put into place to meet the challenges listed above.
This briefing, presented by Netspective CEO Shahid Shah, describes some of the opportunities and how device vendors can take advantage of them.
Healthcare data and its impact upon the patient care decision process via accurate, real-time, reliable data from disparate sources is creating a digital health revolution. Data-driven healthcare is beginning to have a huge impact addressing the challenges of every provider, through efficient handling of huge volumes of patient care data.
Providers need to move towards real-time analytics that have become critical to demonstrate their quality of care, as reimbursement by government programs can be contingent upon how providers are measured in “Quality of Care”. For example, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015, also called the Permanent Doc Fix, changes the way Medicare doctors are reimbursed with the implementation of a merit based incentive. The performance-based pressure is huge, which makes it imperative that every provider consider technology solutions. Read more at https://www.solix.com/solutions/data-driven-solutions/healthcare/

The impact and benefits of the Internet of Things in healthcare.pdfNoman Shaikh
Internet of Things consists of a system of wireless, intertwined, and connected digital devices that can collect, store and share information over a network without any human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT promises many advantages to enhance and streamline the healthcare space and proactively predict the health issues, treatments and diagnose, and monitor the patients.
Leveraging the Internet of Things to Improve Patient OutcomesAlex Taser
This public thought leader dialogue reinforced that we are in midst of a technology-enabled revolution in healthcare. A world of IoT sensors and the Big Data it enables has the power to personalize and improve care, predict conditions, and enable access and affordable service to previously under-reached communities.
Rather than a sci-fi fantasty, the future of IoT healthcare is already here. While fractured, the technology exists and its capabilities are growing exponentially. The success in ensuring patient health and empowerment hinges on our ability to shift the culture of care, rethink incentives, collaborate across systems, and put the patient voice at the center of it all.
7 Reasons why Companies & Government should invest in Digital TransformationIsmail Sayeed
Early adoption of digital solutions to provide services, whether health related or not, allows organisations to be ready for future user demands. The large pool of data on patterns of service/product consumption, feedback and possible future behaviour (extracted from data analytics) can guide strategic decisions on what to invest in and for whom.
Digital healthcare innovation was needed decades ago, with or without a global health emergency. Other industries with complex systems have rapidly adopted digital transformation; such as logistics networks, taxation, commerce and others
- except healthcare.
A company that is already accustomed to some form of digital-based communication and operations (as much as possible) are the ones most able to survive and thrive in these circumstances.
A government body that can still function and serve remotely and digitally is the most ideal form of democracy. An organisation with remote workers, paperless reporting, established telecommunications through all chains of command are really agile in its truest form.
I had predicted 2 years ago that digital healthcare solutions would be the dominant narrative for the emerging middle class of many developing countries in Asia.
it is time for the global industry to transform itself to the new reality.
Now.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Trend is to push out sophisticated technology outward to the individual person and embed technology in everything
Although the Internet entered the mainstream a mere 15 years ago, life without it today is nearly incomprehensible. And our use of the web has rapidly changed as well.
In simple terms, it has evolved from online directories (Yahoo!) to search engines (Google) and now to social media (Facebook). Built on the desktop and notebook PC platform, the web’s popularity is significant.
Today, however, a new platform shift is taking place. In 2011, for the first time, smartphone and tablet shipments exceed those of desktop and notebook shipments (source: Mary Meeker, KPCB, see slide 7). This move means a new generation of consumers expects their smartphones and tablets to come with instant broadband connectively so they, too, can connect to the Internet.
In this report, Flurry compares how daily interactive consumption has changed over the last 12 months between the web (both desktop and mobile web) and mobile native apps. For Internet consumption, we built a model using publicly available data from comScore and Alexa. For mobile application usage, we used Flurry Analytics data, now exceeding 500 million aggregated, anonymous use sessions per day across more than 85,000 applications. We estimate this accounts for approximately one third of all mobile application activity, which we scaled-up accordingly for this analysis.
Our analysis shows that, for the first time ever, daily time spent in mobile apps surpasses desktop and mobile web consumption. This stat is even more remarkable if you consider that it took less than three years for native mobile apps to achieve this level of usage, driven primarily by the popularity of iOS and Android platforms. Let’s take a look at the numbers.
Here are several examples of non-intrusive, non-disruptive applications that all have the potential to explode leading to massive disruption.
Doximity – provides clinicians with secure physician-to-physician connections by mixing social and public licensing databases together … what’s missing is an embedded secure VOIP functionality
Voalté – enables nurses to parse tasks and keep in touch with patient care while scattered throughout the hospital leveraging texting and location based services with patient information
ePocrates – Provides clinicians with concise drug and disease based information at the point of care
Fooducate – Tool to inform consumers about food choices at the point of purchase
