Healing the Patient of Tomorrow

Products on well-understood commercialization tracks often take an incremental approach rather than trying to create paradigm-shifting technologies. In this blog, I’ll take a look at medical devices that are on a commercialization track to heal the patient of tomorrow in a way that is substantially better than previous offerings. They are generally broken into three broad categories based on their advantages over existing medical devices: either healing the patient at home, fixing issues with existing devices, or creating non-invasive diagnostic tools. Connected Home Use Devices Connected home-use devices allow a patient to undergo most of their recovery or treatment at home. This increases opportunities for rest and connects unedited patient data directly to the physician rather than getting a version of the story from the patient. In most cases, patients receive more physician attention than they would from visiting clinics periodically. The medical practitioner has information access on an instant feedback loop even when the patient is at home. Home-use therapy that connects directly to healthcare providers is a fantastic example of modern therapeutics and has been explored a number of times in digital health resources.
