Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Prescription drug monitoring programs are unable to combat overdose, finds study

Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs Are Unable to Combat Overdose, Finds Study
Prescription drug monitoring programs are now being used extensively in several American
states, but there is a dearth of data on their effectiveness in curbing the number of opioid
overdoses, as found out by a recent study. The rationale behind using these programs is to
prevent the replication or overlapping of prescriptions for opioids – the practice commonly
known as doctor shopping.
Chris Delcher, from the department of health outcomes in the University of Florida College of
Medicine, said that it is important to understand if these programs are helping in any way by
curbing the fatal and non-fatal overdoses. According to him, in an era where the changes are
being made and implemented at the federal level to combat the opioid epidemic, it is natural
to assess the utility of such programs.
Delcher and his team
published their findings in
the journal Annals of
Internal Medicine in May
2018. The study was
sponsored jointly by the
Bureau of Justice Assistance
and the National Institute
on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and it
was led by the scientists
from the University of
California, Davis and the
Columbia University.
The team of researchers
investigated as many as
2,600 scientific publications and found that only 10 linked prescription drug monitoring
programs to overdoses. Even in these 10 studies, the team found an exceedingly low evidence
of the effectiveness of the programs in reducing fatal overdoses, leading to inconclusive
outcomes.
Inadvertent outcomes
The study authors came across some surprising findings. Three studies showed that after the
implementation of the prescription drug monitoring programs, there was a rise in overdose-
related deaths due to heroin. A 2013 study showed that in Philadelphia and San Francisco,
there was a transition from prescription drugs to heroin because of the latter’s easy
accessibility and cheap cost.
2. www.californiaprescriptionabusehelpline.com
Moreover, in 2011 in Florida, after the implementation of the program, the number of
overdoses dropped due to oxycodone, but there was a concomitant rise in overdoses related
to fentanyl, heroin and morphine. Delcher explained this by stating that crackdown on
prescription opioids facilitates transition to other drugs.
The researchers found three parameters from the prescription drug monitoring programs
that impacted the number of fatal overdoses. These were:
1. Reviw of patient’s medical history by the doctors before writing a prescription.
2. Increase in frequent updation of patient’s prescription data.
3. Increased accessibility of patient data to the providers.
Delcher shared that investigating the efficay of the prescription drug monitoring tool is one
of the ways to improve its efficiency and usability. He said that the tool could be made more
refined and spontaneous so that it comes handy to the busy physicians, and they are better
able to classify patients’ risk of misuse, abuse or overdose. Delcher is presently striving to
improve the patient-risk algorithms, overlying medication dashboards, and other data-
influenced methods to enhance the database.
Opioid overdose deaths on the rise
Nearly 350,000 people succumbed to opioid overdose – both prescription and illicit –
between 1999 and 2016. The overdose-related deaths manifested through three phases:
The first phase began in 1999 when the prescriptions for opioids increased
(methadone, natural and semi-synthetic opioids).
The second phase commenced in 2010 when overdose deaths increased due to
heroin.
The third phase began in 2013 when overdose related fatalities increased due to
fentanyl. Many times, fentanyl is laced with heroin and cocaine, and sold in counterfeit
pills.
Road to recovery
Addiction usually begins from a prescription and when the prescription runs dry, people fuel
their addiction through illicit drugs. These drugs can have a catastrophic effect on every area
of one’s life. Thus, one should take drug abuse help from a good drug abuse clinic before it is
too late.
If you know someone who is addicted to opioids or any other prescription drug, you can seek
help from the California Prescription Abuse Helpline. Our representative can give you details
about some of the finest California prescription abuse treatment centers, where recovery is
facilitated in a safe and secure environment under the supervision of trained therapists. Call
us at our 24/7 helpline 855-738-2770 for more information on some of the state-of-the-art
