What ’ s Happening In Your Stomach? – Gastric Alimetry Review
Conclusion
The Gastric Alimetry device is a first-of-a-kind solution, fully fitting all principles of digital health. It is making patients the point of care and it targets a niche area with massive demand. I am eager to see where Body Surface Gastric Mapping develops in the coming years.
The total time requirement of such a test is significant, patients need to dedicate a total of 10.5 hours to it. The discomfort of the prolonged process is tolerable, many gastric diagnostic methods are much more demanding. If you have chronic NVS and would like to find a way to detect its causes, it is well worth the effort.

Asynchronous Telemedicine Is Coming And Here Is Why It ’ s The Future Of Remote Care
Asynchronous telemedicine is one of those terms we will need to get used to in the coming years. Although it may sound alien, chances are you have been using some form of it for a while.
With the progress of digital health, especially due to the pandemic’s impact, remote care has become a popular approach in the healthcare setting. It can come in two forms: synchronous telemedicine and asynchronous telemedicine.
Synchronous refers to having discussions in real-time: the patient and the healthcare provider are connected with an audio or audio-visual link to have a live consultation.
Asynchro...

The Top 10 Digital Health Stories Of 2022
Edging towards the end of the year, it is time for a summary of how digital health progressed in 2022. It is easy to get lost in the noise – I myself shared well over a thousand articles, studies and news items between January and the end of November 2022. Thus, just like in 2021, 2020 (and so on), I picked the 10 topics I believe will have the most significance in the future of healthcare.
1. The Rise Of Digital Therapeutics (DTx)
Unlike a number of unsubstantial hypes (NFTs, Metaverse to name a few), we see DTx as a meaningful trend that has the capacity to bring major short-term improvements in personalised ...

Gene Pathway Analysis In Action – 3 × 4 DNA Test Review
In the past couple of years, I have taken at least 10 genetic tests, including this latest DNA test from 3×4 Genetics. This may seem excessive, but I have my reasons. I graduated from medical school as a genetic specialist and completed my PhD as a clinical genomics researcher, and although I turned to medical futurism, my original field never ceases to fascinate me. I’m very curious about how these tests advance and hope I might be able to provide insights for patients worldwide about what they can expect to learn from such tests and what those tests can really deliver.
Thus, I didn’t hesitate for a second to ...

Where Does Diabetes Technology Stand In 2022?
Diabetes management went through a radical transformation in the last years due to technology: the diabetes patient community found a strong voice online, continuous glucose monitors are taking the place of finger pricks, digital patches and insulin pumps make the dosage of insulin more predictable, and connected devices promise the era of artificial pancreas real soon. We looked around where diabetes technology stands today and what could we expect in the next 5-10 years.

11 × 1 Minutes To Catch Up With The Most Important Digital Health Concepts
Every now and then I do a “One Minute Challenge” video, with the goal of explaining digital health-related concepts in just one minute. Here are these collected bits, a few of them just over a minute, something like a crash course on the basics.
Let’s see the topics I covered so far.
1. What is digital health?
This first video starts with the basics, what is digital health at all? What belongs here and what doesn’t? How will it change the role of medical professionals and patients? So many things can be packed in slightly more than 60 seconds.
2. Who is an e-patient?

Global Digital Health 100 – The Medical Futurist ’ s Top Choices in 2022
We first published the list of the Top 100 Digital Health Companies in 2017, highlighting the mindblowing growth the sector registered in the previous year. “Global digital health investments totalled more than 8 billion USD in 2016” – we wrote. Looking at the latest data, we better keep our seatbelts fastened: this figure was USD 57.2 billion in 2021, with a year-on-year growth of 79%.
Digital health is booming, with dozens, hundreds of startups and scale-ups entering the realm each year. While their spectacular promises are loud, failure is silent – unless it happens to one of the tech giants ...

What Do Digital Biomarkers Mean?
The spread of wearable digital technologies in healthcare generating big data entailed the appearance of a new type of medical information. They produce actionable insights into the biological state of individuals, just like “general” biomarkers, but are collected through digital tools.
Here’s our summary of what digital biomarkers mean and how they will be used in the near future.

Generative Adversarial Networks: How Can AI Learn So Much While Its IQ Remains Zero?
A short while ago we wrote about why it is a good idea to get friendly with AI before it arrives in your everyday work environment. We introduced the text-to-art algorithm Midjourney – as an easy and entertaining partner for this venture.
But how do these algorithms work? How can they translate our words (Superman and Wonderwoman in Starbucks) into (more or less) fitting images? And how is it possible that while these models get better and better, their IQ remains 0?

These 8 Countries Could Put Together The World ’ s Most Advanced Healthcare System
If we are looking for the one thing common in the healthcare systems in various countries, is that no one has ever been truly satisfied with their own. The level of satisfaction/dissatisfaction of course varies widely between countries and is closely related to the economic performance and possibilities available for the given country in the past centuries/decades. But as we will see, with having focus and working for the right goals, it is possible to fully transform a country and its healthcare in just a few decades.
Can we, dreaming freely, come up with the perfect system? There are so many good examples all over the...

10+1 Commandments For Companies Developing Wearable Health Trackers
Throughout the last couple of years, I have tested and used about 150 devices and gadgets that measure health parameters or vital signs. From the very first Fitbit to A.I.-driven portable ultrasounds, the evolution is real, and I am delighted to have had the opportunity to watch it first-hand.
I also use a dozen health trackers to live healthily on a daily basis. Even before the wearable revolution started to unfold – just as I described in The Guide to the Future of Medicine -, I used data in an Excel spreadsheet to know more about my health and boost my motivation. Nowadays, it is unimaginable for me to go out...
