Medtronic landed an FDA approval for its myPTM smartphone-powered controller for the SynchroMed II drug delivery system. The new product allows pain patients with the implanted SynchroMed II device to deliver a bolus of the medication into their bodies, precisely when needed. The patient’s physician can set limits on how much of the drug can be administered in a given amount of time, in addition to daily automatic therapy dosing. The SynchroMed II device is implanted under the skin and designed to deliver drugs into the intrathecal space. The new myPTM is really just an app installed on a Samsung J3 smartphone. The smartphone wirelessly interfaces with the SynchroMed II pump and the app can be used to trigger pre-set dose bolusing. All the drug delivery events are saved and can be tracked within the app, in addition to being seen by the patient’s physician. If the daily limit of the drug is reached, the patient will not be able to dose again until the following day. “We are s...

Breast lumpectomy for breast CA is an imprecise procedure that too often results in cancerous tissue being left behind. About a quarter of patients have to come back and go through the surgery yet again. This is in large part due to the fact that guidewires are the standard way to point to the location of a tumor. While guidewires are better than nothing, they are crude and not very precise. Radioactive seeds are another option, but they have safety concerns and radio-based technologies are limited in their targeting and they can interfere with other equipment. Engineers at Boston University have now developed an optoacoustic system that doesn’t rely on guidewires, radiation, or radio waves to localize a tumor with a great level of accuracy. Their AcouStar technology uses an optical fiber as the guidewire, but it’s used to send short pulses of laser light into the tumor. The light pulses heat and expand the tumor tissue, generating ultrasound waves that propagate from the tumor...

A team of researchers at Glasgow University, UK have developed a portable rapid diagnostic device that could be used to detect a number of conditions, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Inspired by the famous Star Trek medical tricorder, the research team behind the innovation set out to create a “multicorder” device. The handheld diagnostic device consists of a fingertip-sized sensor that interfaces with a user’s smartphone. The system uses a low-cost complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) chip to quantify the level of metabolites in the prepared liquid sample placed upon it. Metabolites are small molecules that act as biomarkers for disease, with perturbations from normal levels indicating a risk of conditions as varied as schizophrenia and diabetes. Currently metabolites are measured in a laboratory with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS) systems that are both slow and expensive. The design of the team’s device requires only a drop ...

If you have diabetes, you know monitoring and controlling your blood sugar is one of the most important parts of managing the disease. Whether you have type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, accurate testing can not only help you make adjustments to your diet and daily routine, but it can also help reduce symptoms and prevent possible diabetes health complications, such as nerve damage (neuropathy) and kidney problems. But to properly monitor blood sugar, you’ll need a functioning, high-quality blood sugar monitor (also called a glucose meter). All of these monitors work similarly, but some models include features and options that may be better suited to your specific needs. Speaking with your doctor or a certified diabetes educator is the best way to find a blood sugar monitor to match your health goals and budget. Some Features to Look for in a Blood Sugar Monitor Accuracy Some tests have found monitors to be off by as much as 11 percent, which can make managing diabetes with pr...

EyeQue, a company based in Newark, California, is releasing a vision testing system that you can use at home to test your eyes with the help of a smartphone. The EyeQue VisionCheck personal vision tracker snaps onto the screen of a smartphone and the user simply places it against the eye to perform the testing. The accompanying app displays various images on the screen and while the user looks at those, an internal motor rotates a series of lenses that work together to measure the eye’s focus and astigmatism, and so the refractive error. A special tool built into the app also helps to measure the distance between the pupils. Using the results, the patient can obtain prescription glasses as the system is as accurate as necessary for that application. It provides the spherical, cylindrical, and axis figures that are needed to make the glasses. The VisionCheck device relies on the Inverse Shack Hartmann optical method and the eye measurement technology was patented originally at...

The list of running a private medical practice ranges from marketing, location, supplies, loans, staffing, time with patients and finding a balance of all of the above. Once you figured it all out though, how do you keep your practice growing? More importantly, how do you retain patients? How do you keep your practice running efficient? Are there certain programs and/or guidelines you enforce to spend quality time with your patients and still maximize your availability throughout the day? It all starts with the front desk. They are the face of the practice and how it well it runs. If the front desk is welcoming, it sets the tone for the rest the visit. Then you have the nursing staff who welcome the patients and bring them to the rooms. I would say the ability of the nursing staff to accommodate patients plays through with the bulk of what the visit is about. They counsel patients after the doctor is finished with the consultation. They make sure that post procedure instruction...
