Wearable Technology Futures 2020: A New Path for Public Health?Ogilvy Health
This document summarizes research into how four popular wearable technology devices (Fitbit Flex, Jawbone UP24, Misfit Shine, and Withings Pulse O2) incorporate behavioral change techniques (BCTs) into their apps. It finds that while the devices are good at tracking user data, they may not be as effective at promoting long-term behavior change. Specifically, only a third of users continue using wearable devices after 6 months. The document analyzes which BCTs the devices support and which studies have found to be most effective for behavior change. A key finding is that one-size-fits-all solutions are not effective, as different techniques work better for different groups, such as obese

From Smart Mobile Accessories to the Internet of ThingsTaly Weiss
In the last few months, smartphones have extended the traditional use of communication. Incorporating hardware as well as apps improves the functionality of the device (upgraded photo/video/audio capabilities). Smartphones today have become effective tools for monitoring (identifying locations of objects, keeping track of food preparation, health and fitness measurements, and even substitute expensive medical devices). These devices can now control local systems (temperature, home entertainment devices and transportation) and in the near future will be integrated with multi systems to allow individuals to better manage their life. Consumers already adopt basics behaviors needed for the "Internet of Things"

Erik Hawkinson — Global Head of Strategic Marketing at Roche Diagnostics
Lisa Flaiz — Group Product Director, Digital Marketing at Janssen
Kim Levy — Vice President, Strategic Solutions at Epocrates
Bob MacAvoy — Senior Vice President at Doximity
Over the past 10 years there has been a tidal wave of innovation specific to the market of devices we use to access digital content, services, and to conduct transactions. We were introduced to the iPhone in 2007, the iPad in 2010 and although we’re not sure what the next “big thing” will be (from Apple or a competitor) — we are all sure we’ll be using more digital devices in the near future – not less. This roundtable with a diverse group of pharmaceutical, device, publisher, and technology executives will review the multi-platform shifts and trends specific to a physician audience and what that means over the next year — and next decade.
2015 Health Trends: New challenges for a changing industry
In the second of their 4-part annual trend report series, GSW takes a closer look at healthcare. From evolutions in doctor-patient relationships to strategies in benefit design to the changing mind-set of physicians, a new landscape takes shape.
This document discusses trends in healthcare in 2016 related to clinical trials and research participation. It notes that new technologies are dramatically increasing the size and scope of clinical trials by making it easier for more people to participate remotely through mobile apps and sensors. Traditional trials typically took a year to recruit 10,000 people across 50 medical centers, while new methods can recruit that number from 30,000 people in just one month.
Trends and Innovations in Mobile Accessories by TrendsSpottingTaly Weiss
TrendsSpotting trends research has recently published a research report uncovering major trends in Mobile Accessories.
Based on exploration of over 2000 new accessories released since 2011 + CES 2012 and a market analysis of major market trends characterizing this growing market. TrendsSpotting has identified about 150 recently released products that reflect new emerging trends in mobile accessories.
The innovations analyzed in this report are profiled according to Product Categories (Protection, Power, Entertainment, Smart Solutions), User Experience Categories, Marketing and Consumer Trends.
Being a genuinely good brand in 2010 takes more than a widely used product and an ubiquitous global presence. Though there is no precise formula, what the ten good brands on our list have in common is a penchant for imagination, innovation, environmental responsibility and social consciousness. Their products and services don’t just serve a basic need, but instead help as a tool to improve people’s lives.
Several companies have stayed strong, maintaining their positions from last year with continued innovation, while others on the list have jumped into prominence through offering creative solutions and ground breaking new business models.
We started our search for the Good Brands of 2010 by looking at the companies we were writing about on PSFK.com over the last six months. We then asked a panel of cross-industry global experts from the Purple List to tell us which of the common brands on PSFK were considered ‘Good’.
We hope the learnings from this report, and the companies identified within, provide you with inspiration that you can use to make things better.

The Power of Social in health and healthcareD3 Consutling
This document summarizes key points about the power of social networks in health and healthcare. It discusses how social media is increasingly important for patients and providers. Patients are using social platforms to find support from others experiencing similar health issues and to learn about new treatments. Some healthcare providers are effectively using social media to engage patients and share medical expertise. The document also describes several digital health startups that are connecting patients, caregivers, and medical professionals through social platforms to improve health outcomes.
The document discusses global trends in the digital healthcare industry and regulation. It notes that in 2018, a record $14.6 billion was invested globally in digital health, continuing a trend of annual increases since 2015. However, Korea does not have any of the 38 digital health unicorn startups valued over $1 billion that exist globally. It defines key terms like digital health, mHealth, and personal genomics. It also discusses regulatory issues and the increasing role of artificial intelligence. The future of digital medicine is that it will become integrated into ordinary medicine.

It discusses how digital health has the potential to transform life sciences through technologies like sensors, data collection, and precision medicine. However, significant regulatory hurdles around data sharing and privacy still exist. While companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis are pursuing digital health projects, it is unclear which players like pharmaceutical companies, technology giants, insurers, or patients will ultimately lead the transformation. The panelists debated these issues and shared lessons learned from their experiences in digital health.
Medical device companies are looking to emerging markets like India, China, Brazil and Russia for growth due to challenges in developed markets from the global financial crisis. The emerging markets offer major opportunities due to their growing economies, expanding middle class populations and increasing healthcare spending. However, to successfully launch devices in these markets, companies will need to understand the local market needs, create customized and affordable products for each market, develop new collaborative R&D networks to drive innovation, and partner with local players to better serve customers.

Outcomes in Healthcare: Fad or Future? Exploring Innovative Initiatives to Im...Alix Aubert
healthcare executives who are leaders in their field. Today, we have decided to make some of this information
available to the wider professional community provided it is non-confidential, of public interest and likely to lead
to interesting partnerships in the future.
During the Life Science Talks event in June 2015, the speakers outlined their strategies by illustrating them with
examples of successful projects and partnerships. These highlight a recognition among providers, payers,
suppliers and other stakeholders that collaboration is key to overcoming challenges that healthcare systems are
facing today.

The speech focuses on digital innovation from the point of view of a pharmaceutical company: how technology can integrate the offer of drugs and therapeutic solutions for the healthcare and well-being of citizens. Last year the app I-nonni was presented as a Sanofi start-up project with the primary goal of connecting the older adults with relatives and health professionals, such as doctors and pharmacists, in an easy and effective way. This year the progress in the services offered will be presented, as well as a study proving the effectiveness of the digital fitness tool that we developed with the aim of training the cognitive abilities of older adults (and not only).
Healthcare AI Data & Ethics - a 2030 visionAlex Vasey
This document discusses three key gaps that must be addressed to realize the full potential of intelligent health powered by advances in artificial intelligence and patient data:
1) Organizational and technical barriers prevent effective data sharing between healthcare providers due to data being siloed in different systems and formats.
2) Lack of public trust and an inadequate regulatory framework that promotes privacy and security while enabling more access and use of patient data for research.
3) Absence of clear rules or frameworks governing the ethical and social implications of growing AI use in healthcare, such as ensuring AI systems are fair, reliable, private and transparent.
The document provides recommendations in each of these areas to overcome these gaps and advance responsible innovation
The Propell Group - ESSEC Business School - Digital Health InnovationJulien de Salaberry

Silicon valley and the search for immortality — the future of healthcareYogesh Malik
Digital pills, sensors, and big data will allow doctors, hospitals, and machines to be on the same page and access the right health information to save lives and help people live longer. 3D printing is transforming medicine by printing pills, tissues, and organs tailored to individual needs. Technology is also powering lab-on-a-chip devices, personalized health monitoring tools, and advances in detecting and treating diseases through machine learning and artificial intelligence. The future of healthcare is focused on using these technologies to augment human capabilities and potentially achieve immortality by 2030.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects
Breast cancer :Receptor (ER/PR/HER2 NEU) Discordance.pptxDr. Sumit KUMAR
Receptor Discordance in Breast Carcinoma During the Course of Life
Definition:
Receptor discordance refers to changes in the status of hormone receptors (estrogen receptor ERα, progesterone receptor PgR, and HER2) in breast cancer tumors over time or between primary and metastatic sites.
Causes:
Tumor Evolution:
Genetic and epigenetic changes during tumor progression can lead to alterations in receptor status.
Treatment Effects:
Therapies, especially endocrine and targeted therapies, can selectively pressure tumor cells, causing shifts in receptor expression.
Heterogeneity:
Inherent heterogeneity within the tumor can result in subpopulations of cells with different receptor statuses.
Impact on Treatment:
Therapeutic Resistance:
Loss of ERα or PgR can lead to resistance to endocrine therapies.
HER2 discordance affects the efficacy of HER2-targeted treatments.
Treatment Adjustment:
Regular reassessment of receptor status may be necessary to adjust treatment strategies appropriately.
Clinical Implications:
Prognosis:
Receptor discordance is often associated with a poorer prognosis.
Biopsies:
Obtaining biopsies from metastatic sites is crucial for accurate receptor status assessment and effective treatment planning.
Monitoring:
Continuous monitoring of receptor status throughout the disease course can guide personalized therapy adjustments.
Understanding and managing receptor discordance is essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and improving the prognosis for breast cancer patients.

Understanding Atherosclerosis Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Preventionrealmbeats0
Definition: Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaques, which are made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, in the walls of arteries. Over time, these plaques harden and narrow the arteries, restricting blood flow.
Importance: This condition is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, and peripheral artery disease. Understanding atherosclerosis is crucial for preventing these serious health issues.
Overview: We will cover the aims and objectives of this presentation, delve into the signs and symptoms of atherosclerosis, discuss its complications, and explore preventive measures and lifestyle changes that can mitigate risk.
Aim: To provide a detailed understanding of atherosclerosis, encompassing its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and strategies for prevention and management.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness about atherosclerosis, highlight its impact on public health, and educate individuals on how they can reduce their risk through lifestyle changes and medical interventions.
Educational Goals:
Explain the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, including the processes of plaque formation and arterial hardening.
Identify the risk factors associated with atherosclerosis, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and sedentary lifestyle.
Discuss the clinical signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of atherosclerosis.
Highlight the potential complications arising from untreated atherosclerosis, including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
Provide practical advice on preventive measures, including dietary recommendations, exercise guidelines, and the importance of regular medical check-ups.

Differentiating
Trends
vs.
Trendy
Tech
In
a
not-‐to-‐be
missed
Keynote
address,
Amy
Webb,
Futurist
and
founder
of
The
Future
Today
Institute,
presented
her
annual
tech
trends
report.
She
gifted
us
her
Four
Laws
of
Technology
Trends,
that
explains
the
difference
between
a
technology
trend
and
technology
that
is
just
trendy.
All
technology
trends
share
a
set
of
four
conspicuous,
universal
features:
1. Tech
trends
materialize
as
a
series
of
un-‐connectable
dots
that
begin
as
weak
signals
on
the
fringe
and
move
to
the
mainstream.
2. Tech
trends
are
driven
by
basic
human
needs.
3. Tech
trends
evolve
as
they
emerge.
They
are
not
static.
4. Tech
trends
are
timely,
but
they
persist
over
long
periods
of
time.

VR
and

are

their
potential
as

useful
technology
for
healthcare
marketers.
6. Serving
vs
selling,
putting
the
patient
first
It
isn’t
news
to
health
marketers
that
patients
have
become
increasingly
engaged
in
their
own
healthcare
decision
making,
shifting
the
paradigm
of
control
and
demanding
healthcare
providers
and
stakeholders
to
shift
their
strategy
to
serve
the
needs
of
patients
as
consumers
rather
than
sell.
There
were
a
number
of
exhibitors
and
panelists
at
SXSW
this
year
sharing
their
own
version
of
using
technology
to
put
“patient
at
the
center”
– offering
solutions
that
impact
and
improve
the
consumers
day-‐to-‐day
health
and
life.
This
means
being
where
the
consumer
is
– offering
real
value,
not
just
tech
gimmicks.

9. Hearables
Poppy
Crum,
Chief
Scientist,
Dolby,
introduced
the
new
wave
of
in-‐ear
devices,
or
hearables,
which
can
pick
up
stress,
heart
rate
level
and
speech.
A
hearable
device
can
help
predict
the
onset
of
psychosis
by
analyzing
statistical
properties
in
your
language
and
heart
rate
data.
Using
just
our
voices,
scientists
can
predict
the
onset
of
multiple
sclerosis
and
diabetes
(through
physiological
changes
that
affect
your
vocal
tract).
Crum
sees
the
future
of
hearables
as
devices
to
help
provide
us
the
content
we
need
when
we
need
it.
Walking

noise
so
you
can
only
focus
on
the
person
you
are
talking
to,
providing
search
content
from
audio
cues
-‐ imagine
walking
down
the
street
and
asking
for
reviews
and
getting
all
that
information
in
your
ears.
10. Everybody’s
talking
about
it…
We’ve
all
heard
the
stats…
1
in
5
adults
in
the
US
owns
a
voice-‐activated
smart
speaker
(47.3
million
people),
41%
of
adults
conduct
at
least
one
voice
search
per
day,
50%
of
all
searches
will
use
voice
by
2020.
So
what
does
that
mean
for
us
marketers?
It
is
important
to
start
thinking
about
this
now,
be
curious.
Consider
developing
a
voice
strategy,
identify
business
problems.
Voice
technology
will
make
brand
experiences
conversational
in
the
next
few
years.
Eventually,
we
will
have
ambient
voice
technologies
embedded
in
our
environments.

focused
on
burgeoning
issue
of
online
hate
speech,
reading
half
a
dozen
Tweets
he
has
received,
showing
how
this
content
is
not
stopped
by
tech
companies,
impacting

mental

career
choices.
He
also
focused
on
how
big
tech
companies
can’t
be
above
the
law,
citing
the
Uber/London
dispute.
Tech
moves
very
fast,
and
often
regulations
don’t
exist
for
particular
technologies,
however
the
onus
should
be
on
tech
to
work
with
regulators
to
reform
laws
to
make
business
fair
for
all
while
still
allowing
growth
and
advancement.
15. Dr Fei-‐Fei Li,
Megan
Smith
&
Joanne
Chen
spoke
about
the
importance
of
avoiding
perpetuation
of
human
biases
through
AI.
We’re
at
a
historic
moment
in
our
development
of
AI
capabilities
and
have
the
responsibility
to
make
AI
more
human
centric.
Because
AI
is
created
by
humans,
and
intended
to
behave
like
humans,
it’s
incumbent
on
all
of
us
to
guide
its
development
with
human
concerns.
If
we
build
our
AI
future
on
the
data
of
the
past
we
risk
perpetuating
societal
biases.
A
compelling
example
of
an
analysis
using
facial
recognition
and
NLP
was
used
to
compare
male
and
female
roles
in
movies
revealing
that
speaking
roles
are
consistently
dominated
by
men.
Based
on
data
sets
like
this,
machine
learning
will
be
trained
to
under-‐represent
communities.
The
democratization
of
AI
requires
the
participation
of
more
people,
and
more
diverse
people,
in
its
creation.
It’s
not
just
a
tool
for
the
technology
giants,
but
a
resource
for
all
walks
of
life.
We
need
to
ensure
diversity
of
thought
with
disciplines
beyond
data
and
computer
science.
We
also
need
to
ensure
AI
education
is
part
of
early
childhood
education
curriculum
with
an
emphasis
on
girls,
racial
minorities,
and
other
groups
whose
perspectives
have
been
underrepresented.

19. Notable
Female-‐Led
Companies
in
Tech
Michelle
Longmire,
Founder
&
CEO
of
Medable: Apple
made
huge
inroads
into
health
with
their
“kits”,
the
ResearchKit for
medical
researchers
running
clinical
trials,
and
CareKit for
clinicians
who
want
to
engage
their
patients
outside
the
office
setting
for
ongoing
care,
monitoring,
and
digital
interventions.
The
major
barrier
to
uptake
for
these
kits
has
been
the
lack
of
technical
capabilities
and
resources
on
the
clinical
side.
Hence,
Medable
has
created
a
portfolio
of
apps
that
enable
researchers
and
clinicians
to
roll
out
these
services
without
needing
to
build
their
own
technology
capabilities
– over
200,000
patients
are
already
using
the
apps
with
their
clinicians,
and
the
line
of
academic
centers
and
biopharma
sponsors
continues
to
ramp
up
quickly.
There
is
an
opportunity
to
leverage
this
emerging
“channel”
of
HCP/patient
interaction
and
be
part
of
the
trend-‐
setting
group
that
will
learn
what
works
best.

of
Veda
Data: a
new
evolution
in
Big
Data/AI,
now
offering
“Data
Science
as
a
Service”,
focused
on
payors who
generate
massive
datasets
every
day
and
need
help
keeping
the
data
linked
accurately
to
the
right
doctors
and
patients.
Machine
learning
is
the
secret
sauce
that
uses
all
of
a
client’s
historical
data
to
learn
how
to
most
accurately
create
and
save
these
links
so
the
databases
can
deliver
actionable
insights.
Interestingly
the
original
technology
was
used
to
accurately
identify
stars
and
galaxies
across
different
views
from
different
locations
and
organizations.
20. VR
and
AR
become
reality
for
healthcare
2018
was
the
first
year
at
SXSW
where
we
saw
engaging
and
meaningful
applications
of
the
technology
for
health.
We
are
years
away
from
mainstream
adoption
of
these
technologies,
especially
VR,
but
should
continue
to
explore
ways
to
utilize
the
immersive
nature
of
the
technology
to
solve
brand
experience
problems
and
provide
value
to
the
user.
AR
adoption
is
much
higher
due
to
its
transparent,
intuitive
and
constant
nature.
Not
until
immersive
technologies
are
out
of
the
way
will
we
see
higher
adoption
rates.
Ready
Player
One
shared
a
promotional
experience
where
two
users
played
in
separate
rooms
in
real
life,
but
were
collaborating
on
the
same
tasks
side
by
side
in
the
game.
This
example
brings
up
amazing
possibilities
and
implications
for
healthcare
experiences,
especially
when
we
think
about
remote
patients
and
virtual
care.

21. Cedar
Sinai
showed
how
they
are
using
VR
to
allow
patients
to
escape
the
four
walls
of
their
hospital
room
while
going
through
treatment.
Several
patients
suffering
from
severe
pain
were
better
able
to
deal
with
their
pain
once
whey
strapped
on
the
VR
headsets.
An
older
woman
suffering
from
chronic
liver
disease
and
intense
pain
was
able
to
fly
over
Iceland
in
a
helicopter.
She
said
she
did
not
even
think
about
the
pain.
Other
health
issues
being
addressed
by
VR
for
hospital-‐bound
patients
include
social
isolation,
boredom,
fear,
anxiety
and
panic
attacks.
One
application
utilized
heart
rate
and
breathing
data
to
identify
the
proper
meditative
atmosphere
for
the
patient,
to
help
slow
their
breathing
and
bring
their
heart
rate
back
to
normal.
Empowered
Brain
is
using
AR
to
help
children
with
autism
learn
basic
skills
and
help
with
behavior.
Oftentimes,
children
with
autism
have
a
difficult
time
making
eye
contact
or
looking
at
people’s
faces.
Using
Google
Glass
2,
children
are
able
to
see
filters
projected
on
people’s
faces
in
augmented
reality
much
like
a
Facebook
or
Snapchat
filter.
Features
included
the
game
Emotional
Charades
which
uses
emojis to
help
them
learn
and
read
people’s
emotions.
