The document discusses innovative technology to improve medication adherence. It notes that between 30-50% of prescribed medicines are not taken as recommended, costing the NHS billions. The YOURmeds system is presented as an intelligent medication packaging solution that provides reminders and monitoring to improve adherence. It consolidates medications into clear blister packs with reminders. Sensors track when medications are accessed and share this data through a portal. The system aims to increase social care capacity by replacing some visits with remote monitoring. Clinical trials are planned to study its impact on conditions like heart failure and diabetes that account for a large burden on the healthcare system.
The Innovation and Technology Tariff (ITT) aims to incentivize adoption of transformative innovations in the NHS by streamlining pricing and reimbursement. For 2017-19, the first year of the ITT, six themes have been identified that could provide innovation benefits to the NHS at scale. These themes include guided mediolateral episiotomy to minimize obstetric injuries, reducing medication errors, preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia, managing COPD remotely, treating C. difficile infection with frozen fecal transplants, and treating enlarged prostates as outpatients. The ITT operates under both an incentive-based pricing model and a zero-cost model where NHS England covers the cost of approved innovations.
Good practices in patient involvement in HTAEUPATI
Patients and caregivers have unique knowledge and perspectives about living with an illness that can help inform health technology assessments (HTA). Their involvement is recommended at every stage of the HTA process, from topic selection to disseminating results. However, challenges exist in ensuring patient views are representative and not biased. Different countries in Europe are implementing patient involvement in HTA to varying degrees, with some holding training programs and allowing patient groups to initiate research or contribute to appraisals. Ongoing efforts are needed to strengthen patient involvement through resources, training, and embedding it in all new HTA processes.
The document discusses challenges facing healthcare systems including an aging population, rising costs of new technologies and medicines, and rationing of care. It argues that healthcare will only become affordable and available to all when individuals take responsibility for managing their own health through self-care and the use of new technologies. The document presents a company called Aseptika Ltd that provides tools and training to support self-care, particularly for respiratory diseases, through remote monitoring devices, home hospitalization, and empowering patients and caregivers to manage health conditions independently.

Abstract: Detection of abnormal cardiac events during clinical examination is a matter of chances, as such events may not happen at that precise moment. We therefore propose the implementation and evaluation of a mobile based system that allows a real-time detection of cardiovascular problems related to heart-rate variability. Our approach is to integrate an Internet of Things eHealth kit based on Arduino and validated algorithms for heart rate variability to build a low-cost, reliable and scalable solution. 12 healthy users have evaluated the system in different scenarios to assess the best performing algorithm and the best windowing interval. Finally, a mobile system based on an Android application which integrated the Pan and Tompkins algorithm with a 20 seconds windowing and a module to retrieve real-time electrocardiography through a Bluetooth interface was implemented and assessed.

Provocation focuses on using and developing new research methods to more rapidly advance the field and take advantage of rapid technological development. The new methods and theories being proposed are not supported by the current academic system, which values knowledge for its own sake, pre-planned research, discipline-driven and fiscal disconnect over relevance, iterative experimentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, community engagement, and fiscal sustainability. There is a need to create new processes that reinforce academics to develop new methods and theories through open-source and real-time peer review.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
