The folks at Abbott received FDA clearance for the Confirm Rx implantable cardiac monitoring device that wirelessly connects to the patient’s smartphone. Cardiac recordings pass from the device to the smartphone and then onto the company’s online portal where cardiologists can view the data at any time. By being able to immediately share events with the physician, patients can be diagnosed quicker whether and what kind of cardiac arrhythmias they may have. The patient simply installs the myMerlin app on their phone and uses Bluetooth to sync to the implant. A schedule is set to move saved data from the device, to the phone, and to the online portal. All the data transfers are encrypted to ensure privacy. If a patient feels that something may be going on with their heart, they can use the app to record the time of the event and symptoms being experienced. That’s pretty convenient, as a separate device is not required to help synchronize the cardiac waveforms to the symptoms, and t...

Oticon, one of the big names in hearing aid products, is releasing a tool that helps people using hearing aids to learn more about their hearing health and to better understand how these devices are impacting their lives. The technology is available on the Oticon Opn hearing aids, including for patients that have already been using the devices. It’s now a part of the company’s ON App and Oticon compares the offering to wearable activity trackers, but specifically designed to assess one’s hearing-related activities and participation in them. The HearingFitness software monitors the use of the Oticon Opn and the types of sound environments the patients find themselves, as well as the behaviors exhibited. Using this information, the software offers advice on how to improve hearing aid usage and get the most out of these devices. The user can set usage goals and check on progress towards them, while the app is smart enough to notify the user to put on the hearing aids when goi...

Livongo, a Silicon Valley firm, is releasing in the U.S. its cellular-based blood pressure monitor, along with a smartphone app and accompanying online platform for managing and sharing the readings. The blood pressure unit uploads its measurements to the Livongo cloud platform, without having to connect the device to a WiFi network, what the company calls “Cuff to Cloud”. The product comes with real-time online support from software-generated “nudges” and from licensed professionals appropriated certified to help with managing chronic conditions. “Just as we did with diabetes, Livongo wants to make it easier for people to stay healthy by checking their blood pressure, receiving real-time personalized feedback, sharing the information with their physician and other members of their connected care community from home, thereby avoiding a rise in blood pressure that can come with visiting a doctor,” said Amar Kendale, Chief Product Officer, Livongo, in a published statement. “We’r...

Traditional vital signs monitors found in most patient hospital rooms can’t be taken into the MRI suite, as that may lead to tragicomic consequences. A patient requiring close monitoring has to be transferred to a specialty monitor attached to a heavy cart that prevents it from being sucked into the bore of the MRI’s magnet, or monitor has to be kept outside of the the MRI room. That’s about to change thanks to FDA clearing the Iradimed 3880 MRI compatible patient vital signs monitoring system. The patient can now be transported from the ER or ICU, directly to the MRI suite and back, without stopping and  without losing the ability to keep a close eye on the vitals. This is all thanks to IRADIMED being able to replace all magnetic components inside the monitor with non-magnetic ones that allows the device to be completely safe inside a 30,000 gauss magnetic field. Some of the features of the 3880 monitor, according to IRADIMED: Wireless ECG with dynamic gradient fil...

Pneuma Respiratory, a young company out of Boone, North Carolina, has announced that it developed a digital soft mist inhaler that can be set to deliver different size drug particles to the lungs, and that works with a variety of medications including large-molecule compounds. The company’s droplet ejector technology generates whichever size droplets are preferred and intelligently injects the soft mist into the air stream as the patient breathes in from the inhaler. Having different size droplets may significantly help improve a drug’s effectiveness, as the droplet’s size plays a role in determining which part of the respiratory tree it ends up in. There’s no propellant that is used by the inhaler, since it activates drug delivery only on inhalation and uses the naturally produced negative air pressure to propel the drug into the lungs. Pneuma’s inhaler tracks its usage and can unload the data it collects to a smartphone via Bluetooth wireless. Parents and caretakers of patients...

Optical spectrometers provide a unique view of biological samples. How objects reflect different frequencies of light reveals quite a bit about them, but precise, highly sensitive spectrometers tend to be bulky and expensive. This technical limitation has prevented the use of spectrometry in many potential medical applications, particularly in field medicine and in areas with a shortage of medical facilities. A team of Chinese researchers have developed a small, portable spectrometer that uses a smartphone as the display and data processing device. The technology is relatively cheap and may help make spectrometry more accessible, potentially opening up many use cases that haven’t yet been properly explored. The device is only 5 ounces (140 grams) in weight, 1.2 inches (3.1 cm) in diameter, and 6 inches (15.5 cm) in length. It costs less than $300 to produce using existing, commercially available components, and is easy to use. It has a wavelength resolution of about 17 nanometers...

SleepScore Labs, a joint venture between ResMed, a medical firm focused on sleep devices, Pegasus Capital Advisors, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, is releasing the SleepScore Max sleep monitoring system. The contact-free device simply rests on the nightstand, watching the patient, and recording sleep events and what stages the person is in at different times of the night. The company claims it has been tested against polysomnography, the typical way sleep studies are done, and performed quite well. We recently spoke with Colin Lawlor, CEO of SleepScore Labs about the company’s technology and what consumers can expect from it. The nightstand device connects to the user’s smartphone app, which displays every night’s readings, including a “SleepScore,” and provides suggestions on how to improve one’s sleep. In addition to getting readings from the monitoring device, the app also takes data about the person’s activities, such as eating and drinking, which helps to improve the suggestions that it m...

The A1C blood test is a simple test that analyzes your glucose (blood sugar) levels by measuring the amount of glycated hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells; when glucose enters the blood, it attaches to the hemoglobin. The result is glycated hemoglobin. The more glucose in your blood, the higher your glycated hemoglobin. The A1C is a valuable indicator of how well your diabetes management plan is working. While your individual A1C goal will depend on factors including your age and your personal medical profile, most people with diabetes aim to keep their A1C below 7 percent. By keeping your A1C number within your target range, you can reduce the risk of diabetes complications. While it is important to develop a long-term diabetes management plan with your physician, there are several steps you can take right away to help reduce your A1C. Small changes add up, so consider trying some of these strategies to lower your A1C this week. 1. Try ...

For many Americans—68 percent of them, according to one survey—hand sanitizer is a winter staple. But it turns out, the average person doesn’t know how long the stuff lasts—and according to some research, it isn’t too long. In fact, it’s downright shocking. “Alcohol sanitizers last only a minute or two and must be reapplied when recontamination occurs,” Philip Tierno Jr., PhD, director of clinical microbiology and immunology at NYU Langone Medical Center told the New York Daily News. That’s right, two minutes. What’s even more alarming is that more than half of Americans believe the disinfectants last up to 30 times longer than that, according to a survey from Healthpoint, which sells a sanitizer it claims works for up to six hours. “Hand sanitizer is better than nothing if you are going to shake someone’s hand or if you are out on the street with no sink or paper towels, but the best germicidal thing you can do is wash with soap and water,” said Dr. Len Horovitz, attending p...

At Lollypop Farm, the Humane Society of Greater Rochester, our goal is to provide the best possible support to animals in our care. Diagnostic imaging is often an important first step  in shelter medicine if an animal has health issues or injuries. Consider the story of a lovable young Doberman named Mercedes. She was admitted to Lollypop Farm on an early fall evening. Mercedes had recently escaped from her yard and been hit by a car. Her owners, unable to care for her, turned to Lollypop Farm for help. Thanks to generous support from the community, our animal shelter includes a modern, state-of-the-art veterinary hospital. I am part of a veterinary team that includes three veterinarians, nine licensed veterinary technicians, and five veterinary assistants. We provide comprehensive medical care for the animals who are surrendered to us and spay or neuter all animals prior to adoption. Our veterinary team also is able to treat illness and injuries—most anything necessary to ...

Emergency surgeries represent 13 percent of surgeries performed in Ontario, according to the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Canada's aging population will likely increase demand in the future. "Delays in emergency surgeries are a problem around the world. Despite this, there's been uncertainty about whether it impacts patient health," said senior author Dr. Alan Forster, Vice-President of Quality, Performance and Population Health and senior scientist at The Ottawa Hospital and professor at the University of Ottawa. "For the first time we have strong evidence that the sooner you get to the operating room for an emergency surgery, the better off you are, regardless of your condition before surgery. This study adds to the evidence suggesting that timely access to the OR is important for both patients and care providers." Dr. Forster and his team published a study in CMAJ that shows there are consequences for both patients and the hospital...

Understanding what causes readmissions can lead toward improved patient outcomes and quality of care, and lower costs. New interventions can improve outcomes for patients, resulting in less readmissions. Rozalina McCoy, M.D., an internal medicine physician and endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic and study lead author, researches ways to improve care and outcomes for patients with diabetes. "We already knew that adults with diabetes carry a high risk for hospitalization and unplanned readmission," she says. "But the big question was why? And what role did episodes of very high and very low blood sugar play in this risk? Because if we knew what the problem was, and ultimately why it might be happening, we could then try to prevent it." Using the OptumLabs Data Warehouse, a database of de-identified, linked clinical and administrative claims information, Dr. McCoy and her team examined administrative data of 342,186 adult patients with diabetes who were hospitaliz...

El concentrador de oxígeno es un dispositivo que concentra el gas oxígeno en la atmósfera al separarlo de otros gases. Hay diferentes modelos utilizados para la salud o la industria. Aunque sus principios de trabajo son similares, el equipamiento interno de los dispositivos es ligeramente diferente. Los utilizados para la salud se utilizan generalmente en el tratamiento de pacientes que tienen problemas como deficiencia de oxígeno o dificultad respiratoria. El aire atmosférico contiene 21% de oxígeno (O2), 78% de nitrógeno (N2), 0,9% de argón (Ar) y 0,1% de otros gases. Los dispositivos concentradores de oxígeno disocian los gases del aire ambiente y producen un 95% (± 3) de pureza de oxígeno con el sistema que llamamos tamiz molecular (tamiz molecular). El tamiz molecular (tamiz molecular) produce gas oxígeno de acuerdo con la salud humana. Se usa donde sea que se necesite oxigenoterapia. ¿Qué es el oxígeno? El oxígeno es uno de los muchos elementos que se encuentran en la nat...

Como residente médico que trabajaba en turnos de 30 horas, rápidamente aprendí a apreciar esos raros momentos en los que podía escabullirme de los pasillos del hospital bulliciosos e iluminados y recostar la cabeza sobre una almohada. Por supuesto, a menudo estaba en una habitación desierta con un colchón rígido y un retumbante calentador. Allí mentía, contando los segundos antes de que sonara una alarma para alertarme de que un paciente podría haberse movido en la cama o haber terminado un medicamento por vía intravenosa, o una página de arriba llamar a un médico (¡por favor, no a mí!) A algún piso para tratar con otro problema más Pero por más difícil que sea para los médicos descansar en el hospital, es infinitamente más difícil para los pacientes. Veo esto cada vez que camino de mi habitación de llamadas a la habitación de un paciente. Paso de puntillas pasando la cama A a la cama B, donde un paciente puede estar gimiendo de dolor o tosiendo incontrolablemente. El paciente ...
