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.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services.

The health appraisal should cover not only the students but
also the teachers and other school personnel. Health
appraisal consists of periodic medical examination and
observation of children by the class teacher :-
A. Periodic medical examination:-
i. The school health committee(1961) in India
recommendation medical examination of children at the
time of entry and thereafter every 4 year.
ii. The initial examination should include careful history
and physical examination of the child, with tests for
vision, hearing and speech.

examination of faeces for intestinal parasitosis are
particularly important in India.
iii. Tuberculin testing or mass screening should not be
withhold.
iv. Medical inspection by recording the medical history,
regular(quarterly) recording of height and weigth,
annual testing of vision and preparing children for
medical examination by helping them understand the
“how” and “why” of health appraisal.
18. B. SCHOOL PERSONNEL:-
Medical examination should be given to teachers and
other school personnel as they form part of the
environment to which the child is exposed.
19. C. DAILY MORNING INSPECTION:-
The teacher is in a unique position to carry out the “daily
inspection” . The following clues will help the school
teacher in suspecting children who need medical
attention:-
a) Unusually flushed face

should be followed by appropriate treatment and follow –up.
b) Special clinics should be conducted exclusively for school
children at the primary health centres in the rural area ,and in
one of the selected school or dispensaries for a group of about
5,000 children in the urban areas.
c) Considering the high prevalence of dental, eye, ear, nose, and
throat defects in the school children in India, special clinics
should be secured or provided for the exclusive use of school
children for examination and treatment of such defects.
d) There should be provision for beds in the existing referral
hospital for the children to be admitted for investigation and
treatment as and when required.
22. 3.Prevention of communicable
disease:-
a) Communicable diseases control through
immunization is the most emphasized school health
service function.
b) A well planned immunization programme should be
drawn up against the common communicable
diseases.
c) A record of all immunization should be maintained
as part of the school health records.
23. 4.Healthful school environment:-
The school building, site and equipment are part of the
environment in which the child grows and develops.
a) Location:- the school should normally be centrally
situated with proper approach roads and at a fair distance
from busy places and roads, cinema houses, factories,
railway tracks and market place.
b) Site:- the site should be on suitable high land and
properly drained. SHC(1961) recommended that 10 acres
for higher elementary schools. 5 acres for primary school
with an additional one acre of land per 100 student.
Playground should be made available to the student.
24. CONT……….
c. Structure:- nursery and secondary school as far as possible, be
single storied. Exterior wall should have a minimum thickness of
10 inches and should be heat resistant.
d. Classroom:- verandhas should be attacted to classroom. No
classroom should accommodate more than 40 students. Per
capita space for student in a classroom should not be less than

27. 5. Nutritional services:-
A child who is physically weak will be mentally weak.
Cannot be expected to take full advantages of
schooling. The diet should contain all the nutrient in
proper proportion, adequate for the maintenance of
optimum health.
a) Mid-day school meal:-
-SHC(1961) recommended that school children
should be assured of at least one nourishing meal.
- school meal should provide at least one- third of
the daily calorie requirement and about half of daily
protein requirement of the child.
28. CONT………
b) Applied nutrition programme:-
-UNICEF is assisting in the implementation of the
Applied Nutrition Programme in the form of
implements , seeds, manure and water supply
equipment.
- the produce may be utilized in the school feeding
programme as well as for nutrition education.
29. CONT…………
c) Specific nutrients:-
- Advances in the knowledge of nutrition have
revealed that specific nutrients may be necessary for
the prevention of some nutrient disorders such as-
= dental caries
= endemic goiter
= night blindness
= protein malnutrition

= a host of other nutrient disorder
30. 6. first-aid and emergency care:-
first- aid and emergency care to pupils who become sick or
injured on school premises rests with the teacher and
therefore all teacher should receive adequate training
during “teacher training programme” or “in- service
training programme” to prepare them to carry out this
obligation.
accidents leading to minor or serious injuries, medical
emergencies such as gastroenteritis, colic, epileptic fit,
fainting etc.
In every school a fully equipped first-aid-post should be
provided as per regulations of St. John Ambulance
Association of India.
31. 7. Mental health:-
The mental health of the child affects his physical health
and the learning process.
Juvenile delinquency, maladjustment and drug addiction
are becoming problem among school children.
The school is the most strategic place for shaping the child
behaviour and promoting mental health.
